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.

    FOUR GENERATIONS, DESCENDANTS • PERRY ^24.DE^WilPM. Calibrated Their Fiftieth Wedding Anniversary. MRS. PHILIP LEPPLA. Mr. and Mrs. Philip Leppla of this place celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary at their pleasant home here last Sunday. Owing to the recent death of their youngest daughter, Mrs. Carl L. Gale of Columbus, which occurred a few days ago, the affair was celebrated in a quiet and unostentatious manner, only the immediate family being present. This aged couple were united in marrirge at Canton, Ohio, November 6, 1854, by Rev. Herbruck, a Lutheran minister. Mrs. Leppla, whose maiden name was Louise Ittner, was 16 years of age and her hus­ band 26. Thirteen children were born to this union, three dying in infancy; the eldest son, Godfrey, died about three years ago, and the youngest daughter, Mrs. Gale, three weeks ago. The eight living children are Mrs. Wm. A. Gerber, Mrs. C. Kaemmerer and George Leppla of Columbus; William and Charles Leppla of Barber ton; Mrs. GK W. Weimer, Mrs. A. G. Schmidt and Philip Leppla, Jr., of this place. There are nineteen grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Mr. Leppla was born in Bavaria, Germany, May 13,1828, of Lutheran parent­ age, and came to America in 1849, locating at Winesburg, where he carried on the business of blacksmithing, which he followed until about ten years ago.

  • The Fighting Mccooks Review Ccwrt
    Book Review: The Fighting McCooks: America’s Famous Fighting Family. Charles and Barbara Whalen. Bethesda MD: Westmoreland Press, 5301 Portsmouth Road, Bethesda MD 20816. 2006. 421 pages, $16.95, paperbound. <http://www.thefightingmccooks.com/>. Reviewed by Dan Reigle for the Cincinnati Civil War Roundtable website and for the Ohio Civil War Genealogy Journal . All rights reserved by the author. The McCook family statistics are summarized in this statement from the book’s title page: “Seventeen McCooks fought for the North in the Civil War: three major generals, three brigadier generals, one naval lieutenant, four surgeons, two colonels, one major, one lieutenant, one private, and one chaplain. Four gave their lives to save the Union.” The numbers, in themselves, are an indication that the McCooks were an extraordinary Civil War-era family, but the numbers do not adequately convey the extent to which these seventeen men, along with their spouses and other relatives, were a fascinating, diverse, and highly accomplished group of individuals. Charles and Barbara Whalen have done justice to these men and their families by presenting engaging and stimulating biographical sketches of each of the seventeen men, woven efficiently into a narrative approximating the chronological context of the war. The authors devote a very worthwhile chapter to the early history of the McCooks in America, from their Scots-Irish patriarch, George McCook, who emigrated from Ireland in 1790 after he participated in an unsuccessful attempt to overthrow the English that could have resulted in his execution for treason. Settling in western Pennsylvania, George was an active full participant in the Whiskey Rebellion until President Washington extinguished the rebellion in 1794.

  • THE FIGHTING Mccooks "The Tribe of Dan" Nov 2011
    Donald L Martin National Patriotic Instructor SONS OF UNION VETERANS OF THE CIVIL WAR THE FIGHTING McCOOKS "The Tribe of Dan" Nov 2011 Fifteen members of the McCook family served the Union forces during the Civil War. The oldest was Daniel McCook. He was born in 1798 in Cannonsburg, Pennsylvania. He moved his family to New Lisbon, Ohio in 1826. When the war started he was a sixty-three year old lawyer living with his family in Carrollton, Ohio. He had ten sons, and the eight who were still living at the start of the Civil War all volunteered for military service. Daniel's brother John McCook was an Ohio doctor who volunteered as a surgeon with the Union Army. John McCook had five sons. All five of them served as Union officers. Daniel McCook and his eight sons were referred to as the "Tribe of Dan". John McCook and his five sons were referred to as the "Tribe of John". Four of Daniel's eight sons became generals during the war and two of John's five sons became generals. Before the Civil War started Daniel McCook had practiced law with Lincoln's Secretary of War Edwin Stanton. During the War Daniel held the rank of major and served as a paymaster. His eldest son, Latimer A. McCook (1820 - 1869), received a medical degree from Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia. He entered the 31st Illinois Volunteers as an assistant surgeon and later became surgeon with the rank of major. He was wounded twice during the war once at Vicksburg and once during Sherman's march to the sea.
