Independent Insurance Agents · Alcorn Insurance Agency

This agency was founded in the late 1930s as Charles S. Geary Agency, and he later sold it and it became the Centralia Rainford Agency. Gene and Shirley Alcorn moved back to their hometown of Centralia and they purchased the Centralia Rainford Agency in 1963. Gene and Shirley renamed the Centralia Rainford Agency, and the new agencies name was Alcorn Insurance Agency.

Before purchasing the agency in 1963 Gene had an illustrious 10 year career as a top life insurance agent with Metropolitan Life. Gene was the top selling life agent for Metropolitan in his territory for those 10 years. After 10 years with Metropolitan, Gene decided to switch his focus with selling property and casualty insurance. Gene then went to work for Hardware Mutual Insurance Company, now known as Sentry Insurance. After a few years with Hardware Mutual, they transferred him to a new territory. This new territory was nothing new to him, because they sent him back to his hometown of Centralia. In 1963 Centralia Rainford went up for sale, and Gene decided to go out on his own.

One of Gene’s sons, Craig, came into the agency in 1973. In 1988 Gene’s youngest son, Scott, came into the agency. As years went by nothing changed for Alcorn Insurance Agency, because they were by your side at every step of the way. Fast forward to January 1, 2014, Scott became the sole owner of the agency, with Craig still coming in on a part-time basis. Also in 2014 two of Scott’s children, Kelsey and Chase, came into the family business to start writing insurance. Nothing has changed since the grand opening of Alcorn Insurance Agency in 1963, we have the same name, but it is just a new generation. One could say that insurance just runs in our blood.
