A brief history of the facility is reproduced below from the DHHS website at: http://dhhs.ne.gov/Documents/GIVHHistory.pdf History of the Grand Island Veterans’ Home Nebraska’s oldest and largest home was established in 1887. The following is an excerpt taken from the Senate Journal of the Legislature of the State of Nebraska Twentieth Regular Session held in Lincoln on January 4, 1887: “WHEREAS, There are many old soldiers in Nebraska who, from wounds or disabilities received while in the union army during the rebellion, are in the county poorhouses of this state; therefore be it RESOLVED, That it is the sense of this Senate that a suitable building be erected and grounds provided for the care and comfort of the old soldiers of Nebraska in their declining years; RESOLVED, That a committee of five be appointed to confer with a committee of the House on indigent soldiers and marines to take such action as will look to the establishment of a State Soldiers’ Home.” Legislative Bill 247 was passed on March 4, 1887 for the establishment of a soldiers’ home and the bill stipulated that not less than 640 acres be donated for the site. The Grand Island Board of Trade had a committee meeting with the citizens of Grand Island to secure funds to purchase land for the site of the home.

  • Transforming Cemeteries
    Transforming Cemeteries: A Framework for Enhancing Ecosystem Processes and Human Uses In Formerly Rural, Urban Cemeteries. Kathrine M. Tromp van Holst 2016 1 Transforming Cemeteries: A Framework for Enhancing Ecosystem Processes and Human Uses In Formerly Rural, Urban Cemeteries. Kathrine M. Tromp van Holst 2016 Submitted In Partial Fulfillment For The Master Of Landscape Architecture, Department Of Landscape Architecture, University Of Oregon Master’s Project Committee: David Hulse: Master’s Project Chair __________________________________ Chris Enright: Master’s Project Committee __________________________________ 2 Abstract The purpose of this research is to document the operational elements used to effectively adapt formerly rural, urban cemeteries into more multi-functional urban open spaces, with expanded ecosystem and passive recreation functions. The goal is to create a transferable framework to guide the process of adaptation of these cemeteries into community open spaces that support ecosystem processes. This proj- ect has two motivations: 1) the urban planning problems of inadequate quantities of public open spaces in some cities, and 2) some planners and property owners viewing formerly rural, now urban cemeteries as liabilities due to a lack of perpetual care or the occurrence of anti-social activities. The method documents the successful adaptation of Eugene Masonic Cemetery, and compares and contrasts it with the Eugene Pioneer Cemetery. Findings show how the Eugene Masonic Cem- etery site was transformed from an underused liability to a well-loved community open space, and what elements of its adaptation can be included in a broadly transferable framework to help other communities reach similar goals. Specifically, the research shows how, through sociocultural and biophysical interventions, exotic invasive plant species were replaced with a robust native shrub layer, and how this process improved the cemetery’s appeal and the per- ception of care within the adjacent community.

  • Historic Mt. Crest Abbey Mausoleum “The Call of a Better Way”
    Historic Mt. Crest Abbey Mausoleum at City View Cemetery 100th Anniversary 1914-2014 Walking Tour “The Call of a Better Way” You are invited to take a walking tour of the historic Mt. Crest Abbey Mausoleum. This self-guided tour packet includes a brief history of Mt. Crest Abbey, a map of the mausoleum, and the personal history of significant members of Salem’s community interred within the mausoleum. Feel free to stay as long as you like. Staff members will be available in the Funeral Home to answer any questions you may have. During pre-war optimism of the early 1900s--the Progressive Era--many people believed that technology and science were advancing rapidly. This also applied to their view of burial. The modern age of the mausoleum and the “Call of a Better Way” began, even though above-ground entombment is a long-standing custom. A mausoleum is an alternative to ground burial. It offers crypts for entombment and niches for cremation. It is dry, clean and secure, and protected from the elements. Mt. Crest Abbey was built by the Portland Mausoleum Company, and its construction was completed in the spring of 1914. Mt. Crest Abbey was dedicated on Memorial Day, May 30th of that year. The mausoleum is one of six similar mausoleums built by the Portland Mausoleum Company in Oregon between 1910 and 1919. The Portland Mausoleum Company went out of business in 1929--the same year that ushered in the Great Depression. Mt. Crest Abbey was designed by prominent architect Ellis Lawrence of Portland and his firm Lawrence & Holford.

Eugene, Oregon October 2011 Heritage Research Associates Report No. 355 River View Cemetery Historic Overview Prepared by George Kramer, M.S., HP Senior Preservation Specialist Prepared for TyLin International 285 Liberty Street NE #350 Salem, OR 97301 and Multnomah County, Oregon Heritage Research Associates, Inc. 1997 Garden Avenue Eugene, Oregon October 2011 Heritage Research Associates Report No. 355 River View Cemetery - Historic Overview October 2011 Introduction River View Cemetery (sometimes mis-identified as Riverview) is a 300+ acre wooded and landscaped enclave located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Macadam Avenue and Taylor‟s Ferry Road, near the Sellwood Bridge, in Portland, Oregon. River View was established on land purchased by Henry W. Corbett and then sold on an interest-free note to the River View Cemetery Association, an organization formed by Corbett in association with Henry Failing, William S. Ladd and others. The Association adopted its initial bylaws on December 4, 1882 and remains a non-profit endowment care facility. “Owners of Interment rights in the cemetery become part of the River View Cemetery Association, thereby becoming owners of the cemetery” (River View, c2011). From its beginnings, River View Cemetery was seen as a major milestone in Portland‟s development; a beautiful, serene, well-designed and maintained final resting place for the city‟s dead. Its graceful, almost park-like, natural setting quickly became a popular recreational destination for Portlanders, complimenting the project‟s primary purpose.
