In 1936, Toy and Robert Wolfe of Fort Mill began a partnership and opened Wolfe-Greene Funeral Home. During World War II, Toy was an embalmer for the United States Army. It was during this time that Wolfe and Greene dissolved their partnership. In the late 1940's, Robert Wolfe sold his partnership, and this establishment became known as Todd-Morris Funeral Home.
