Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all
things Croton-on-Hudson: our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses,
our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.
AND NOW BY SPECIAL REQUEST FROM THE EVERYTHING CROTON MAILBAG, and thanks as always to the volunteers who maintain the archives at THE CROTON HISTORICAL SOCIETY (and an enthusiastic Everything Croton Elve!):
Select scans from the commemorative booklet for the 45TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CROTON LIONS, 1939-1984. You'll find lots of familiar Crotonites and business names here: George Smalls, The Grandstand (still here!), The Agosta Family, Joe Rose, Perry Lipkin, and many more too numerous to mention. Click on the images below and enjoy.

Joe Rose and George Smalls. Two caring giving loving people. Smalls passed away sometime in 2013 or 2014 I believe.

DeleteFormer Croton resident George Smalls, who retired to Las Vegas some years ago, has passed away at the age of 93. Mr. Smalls was a member of the Croton Lions Club and a former Superintendent of Parks at Croton Point. He was also a member of the Asbury Methodist Church. There will be a memorial service at Asbury on January 12, 2013 at 2 pm. Details will follow.
My Gramps, Joe Rose is all over these pictures, from the one from 1939 to 1984 with Mr. Smalls.
