GRAND ISLAND VETERANS HOME (GIVH)

1887-2005

215 cubic ft; 211 boxes & 36 volumes

History of Collection:

The Grand Island Veterans Home, originally known as the Nebraska Soldiers and

Sailors Home, opened in 1887 and was the first Veterans’ home in the state. 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.

Timeline of Events:

On March 31, 1887, a town meeting was held in the Bartenbach Opera House, and

within 36 hours local citizens pledged the $25,600 needed for the purchase of the

land, which was originally located three miles north of Grand Island. On October

20, 1887, Governor John M. Thayer placed the cornerstone of the new Soldiers and

Sailors Home, and Oliver P. Duncan was the first Civil War veteran admitted to

the home on June 28, 1888.

The facility was established to house only Civil War veterans of the Union Army,

but later it was decided that during the Reconstruction period that Confederate

Army veterans were also allowed to enter the home. Subsequent laws were passed

to allow veterans serving in all of the wars and conflicts since that time, to be

eligible to live at the facility. The name of the facility was changed to “Nebraska

Veterans Home” in 1969 to reflect all branches of the service.

In 1895 a bill was passed to create another soldiers’ home in Milford, Nebraska,

and it opened in 1903. However, funding was pulled from the facility later, and it

closed on

July 1, 1939. NOTE: Admission case files do not exist from the Milford Home.

The veterans who were members of the Milford Soldiers and Sailors Home were

then transferred to Grand Island. Bills were passed to establish other veterans’

homes in Norfolk in 1963, in Scottsbluff in 1974 and in Omaha (Bellevue) in 1980.

The Grand Island Veterans Home currently serves as the central administrative unit

for all member admissions for every home throughout the state.

There may be a gap in some of the admission case files from the Grand Island Veterans

Home. In June 1967, Grand Island (Hall County) suffered a flood, and according to notes in

the administrative files, some records were lost.

Scope and Content Note:

The Grand Island Veterans Home records are divided into four series:

Series One: Administrative Member Admission Files, 1887-1935

Series Two: Administrative Member Admission Files, 1935-2005

Series Three: Registers and Ledger Volumes, 1888-1971

Series Four: Misc. Materials, ca. 1914-1980; this series does contain 13 file

folders pertaining to the last several years of the Milford Soldiers and Sailors

Home. When the facility closed its door on July 1, 1939, members were

transferred to the Grand Island home.

The administrative member admission files indicate the following: 1) Veteran

passed away before admission; 2) Veteran decided not to enter the home or

canceled admission, aka “Content in Present Location, (CIPL); 3) Veteran was

denied admission due to state/federal rules and regulations; 4) Admission

information includes date of admission, discharge date (s) from the facility, next of

kin, and emergency contact information on the admissions form, military service

information; and finally, 6) date of death (some files include copies of obituary

notices from local newspapers).

Restrictions to Collection:

All member administrative admission files must be reviewed by NSHS staff in

order to comply with state and federal regulations involving any medical

information that may be contained in the files involving HIPAA (retroactive and

proactive federal law), mental health statutes (Nebraska Revised Statute 71-961),

military discharge papers (Nebraska Revised Statute 23-1309), guardianships or

conservatorships (Nebraska Revised Statutes 30-2601 thru 30-2661) and social

security information. Please keep in mind that confidentiality and privacy issues

do apply for this collection due to the vast time span of the records. Some of the

veterans who received care at this facility may be alive at this time.
