History of Kunzman Title
Co.
Kunzman Title Company, has had its roots in Box Butte
County since 1887. In the beginning, abstracts of title
were certified by the County Clerk. When the job became
too time-consuming, B.F. Gilman, who was county
Superintendent of Schools, opened and independent
abstract office. Mr. Gilman certified abstracts of title
until January 1, 1916 when the business was purchased by
J.D. Emerick.
In 1944 Mr. H.H. Selleck purchased the business and
expanded it to included casualty insurance. On December
15, 1968 Paul Kunzman purchased the business. He moved
the business to the old Slagle Clinic Building on May
30, 1970, renaming the company Paul Kunzman Abstracts &
Insurance. In 1977 the office was relocated again, this
time to the Professional Offices Building at 115 East
5th Street.
On January 2, 1990 the business was incorporated and its
name changed to Kunzman Tile Co. On January 6, 1990 Dan
Dickinson purchased the shares of the company from Paul
Kunzman and on April 1, 2006, after working as office
manager for nine years, Wendy Fritzler purchased the
company from Dan Dickinson.
