    Everplans Guru Guide Funerals in Westchester County, N.Y. Overview: Westchester County, N.Y. Located in close proximity to New York City, some areas of Westchester County serve as commuter towns and range in affluence. The cost and opulence of the funeral homes in the area run the gamut. There’s something for everyone, but be aware you might have to look outside of a specific town to find what suits you best. Funeral Homes If you plan to have a traditional funeral service with the body present (regardless of whether you choose to bury or cremate the body afterwards) you must work with a funeral home to make your arrangements. Name Rating Price Religion(s) Location Level Cox & Graziano Funeral Home Highly recommended High Christian / All Faiths Mamaroneck Fox Funeral Home Inc.

  • S0486 Spreen, J
    S0486 Spreen, J. Orville (1897- ) Papers 1900-1982 524 Folders This collection is available at The State Historical Society of Missouri. If you would like more information, please contact us at [email protected]. BIOGRAPHY OF J. ORVILLE SPREEN J. Orville Spreen was born on August 19, 1897. He began working for the Wabash Railway in February 1912 at the age of 15. He started as an office boy in the joint offices of the General Superintendent of the Missouri District and General Attorney of the Burlington Railroad. He gradually worked his way up the ranks until he attained an executive position with the company. He retired in 1962 after 50 years of service to the Wabash Railroad. SCOPE AND CONTENT A great majority of the J. Orville Spreen collection consists of information compiled for use by the Junior Chamber of Commerce Historic Markers Committee. During the early 1940s the Committee was very active in St. Louis. Most, if not all, of the information they used to designate historic sites can be found here. Along with this information, the text revisions of each marker is included. In the process of designating sites, the Committee collected literature and information concerning St. Louis history and the history of various industries and businesses in St. Louis. Only a small portion of the collection concerns Spreen's personal and family life. The series entitled Spreen trips includes some information about vacations which Mr. and Mrs. Spreen took. This is, however, the extent of the information concerning Spreen personally. There simply is not that much information available.

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.
