Local Business Supports The Business Of Saving Lives
Neidecker, LeVeck & Crosser Funeral Home, and the Crosser Funeral Home have graciously invested back into the community in order to promote the saving of lives. They recognized
a very unique opportunity to assist local first responders through an ingenious marketing initiative that could help save lives. The funeral homes ask that you download the Vital ICE (In Case of Emergency) app, from either the Apple App Store or Google Play, for your smart phone and enter in their code:
#3141 for Neidecker, LeVeck & Crosser Funeral Home #4455 for Crosser Funeral Home
Neidecker, LeVeck & Crosser Funeral Home, and the Crosser Funeral are making this potentially life-saving app available for free to download in the community as a way of showing their gratitude for allowing them to serve you. They ask that you please take just a few minutes to download the Vital ICE app and fill in the information so that you are prepared in case of an emergency. This app is available to the entire community, regardless of age, so do not pass up this great life-saving opportunity. Questions about the app can be answered at www.vitalboards.com/vitalice.
In the event of an emergency, first responders can use the Vital ICE app to retrieve the user’s vital information. This information can then be easily taken on the ambulance to the hospital, or sent directly to the hospital from the Vital ICE app, where ER staff can further access this critical information. Remember, time is of the essence when saving lives.
Exhibit Features Temperance And Prohibition
Before Prohibition, there was temperance.
In reaction to increasing consumption of alcohol in the 1800s, many people began to express concerns about the social effects of drinking.
Thus began the temperance movement. It gained popularity in the 1850s, and President Rutherford and First Lady Lucy Hayes helped to shape this movement.
The next special exhibit at the Hayes Presidential Library & Museums, “Demon Rum & Cold Water: The Two Sides of Temperance,” will examine temperance; the involvement of women, who were often leaders of the movement; its effect on the American public; and the road that eventually led to Prohibition being ratified in 1919.

“In popular culture, we like to romanticize Prohibition with its speakeasies, flappers and gangsters,” Associate Curator of Artifacts Kevin Moore said. “What we often fail to realize is that the Prohibition Era was the culmination of a century of temperance reform.
The Hayes Presidential Library & Museums is located at Spiegel Grove at the corner of Hayes and Buckland avenues. For information, call 419-332-2081, or visit rbhayes.org. Like HPLM on Facebook at fb.me/rbhayespres.
