B. Cox, who have so successfully operated the Hillcrest Nursing Home west of this city for the past two years, have added to their holdings in the purchase of a Nursing Home at Omaha, that they will operate as well as the Home in this city. They have purchased a prop erty at 320 North 40th street in Omaha they they are having converted into a home for the aged and will be ready to serve the needs of those who desire to have care and homelike sur roundings. The new place is be ing arranged according to the wishes of the new owners and when ready will be placed in operation. The new place will be able to care for twenty-five J of the aged and ailing and will i make a fine place for the care of those who are unable to care for themselves. Mr. and Mrs. Cox will how ever continue the Hillcreast Home, and will divide their time in looking after the two places. They feel that the Hill crest Home has been so suc cessful, and they have a deep attachment to the residents that they cannot leave the lo cal establishment and will con tinue to make for its improve ment and betterment in every way. This will be very pleasing to the people of this community that have known of this thoughtful care of the patients in their charge. 2.00 5.00 2.00 1.00 1.00 Mrs. Van Alstine Dies Here Tuesday Mrs. Delia Van Alstine, 94, resident of the Nebraska Ma sonic Home in this city, passed away on Tuesday evening at the Home where she has been a res ident since February 1, 1944.
