History

- Kimber Pyles started a Farm Bureau agency in the early 1940s out of his home. He retired in the late 1950s.
- Kimber’s son, Roger Pyles, joined his dad’s Farm Bureau agency in 1944 and also worked out of his home. He was an agent for 38 years and retired in 1982.
- Farm Bureau Insurance was renamed Nationwide Insurance in 1955.
- Roger’s son-in-law, Scott Fourman, joined the agency in 1973 and was an agent for 44 years before retiring in 2017.
- Roger and Scott had an office on High Street from 1977-1996. The agency then moved to its current location on Plum Street in 1996. This office was shared with fellow Nationwide agent Tim Banion, until his passing in 2009.
- Scott’s son, Jeff Fourman, became an agent in May 2014 and took over the agency when his dad retired in August 2017.
