Dunn Company -  Dunn Company began as a side business in the summer months for a Decatur retail coal yard in the 1940s, but is now a leader in the paving, milling and stabilization business with nearly 100 employees. Founded by David W. Beggs, Jr., who also owned Decatur Coal Mine, Dunn Company was one of 26 retail coal yards in Decatur at that time. The company was named in honor of Beggs’ wife, Melba, whose maiden name was Dunn. Dunn employees worked in the coal business during the winter months, but continued with the company in the summer months when their jobs changed to paving work using cold mix asphalt. Both businesses used the same , and the company was strategically positioned near a railroad, making it a prime location for delivery of materials. The following year, Tyrolt recruited his former co-worker, Bernie Naber, who had worked for him in pharmaceutical sales, to join the company. Tragically, just two years after Tyrolt joined Dunn, Beggs died in a car accident in 1968. That same year, Tyrolt, Inc. was formed with 12 employees and annual gross sales of $250,000. Tyrolt became President and CEO, owning 75 percent of the company, while Naber became Vice President and COO, owning 25 percent. Also that year, the company renovated a small asphalt plant and switched its business to hot mix asphalt. As coal dealers slowly closed their doors, Dunn Company continued with its asphalt paving business. While asphalt paving took over as the primary business activity, Dunn Company continued to supply retail coal until 1999. Since then, Dunn Company continues to grow and expand its market share, becoming a leader in asphalt paving, milling and stabilization operations in Central Illinois and beyond.
