Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

Click on the photo to see a neighbor's heirloom eggplant haul BEFORE the recent weather, rain, fungus and Asian Lanternflies decimated the vines past all salvageability. She did get quite a bit however......

OBITUARY FOR FLORENCE JOAN DiLEONE
Born on August 28, 1932, in New York City to the late John and Frances (Ryan) Krug, Florence was a trailblazer in her time. She spent many dedicated years working with NY Telephone, NYNEX, and Verizon, becoming one of the first women to work in switching for the phone companies — a testament to her quiet strength and pioneering spirit. She was also a member of NYNEX’s Pioneers Club. Read more at Florence DiLeone Obituary - Croton-On-Hudson, NY

A DEEP DIVE INTO THE HUDSON VIEW TAVERN, AND THERE WILL BE MORE...
The photo below is an interior view of the Hudson View Tavern (original name Motts Tavern, CLICK ON THE IMAGE); it comes from the archives of The Croton Historical Society and is featured, among others, in a 2013 blog post--YOU CAN SEE THAT ONE AT A MIXED BAG OF VINTAGE CROTON TAVERNS & RESTAURANTS #1
Many of us were curious about the place--and the names shown IN THE PHOTO BELOW, only two of which have been written about here extensively: Lenore Ulric and Margaret Mayo.....And so, here is what we found, in no particular order---p.s. if you are not yet a member of the Croton Historical Society, become one today.
And away we go:
--MAJOR BOWES/Edward Bowes (June 14, 1874 – June 13, 1946), professionally known as Major Edward Bowes, was an American radio personality of the 1930s and 1940s. His Major Bowes Amateur Hour was the best-known amateur talent show on radio during its 18-year run (1935–1952) on NBC and CBS Radio. READ MORE ABOUT HIM HERE
--JEANNE EAGELS (born Eugenia Eagles; June 26, 1890 – October 3, 1929) was an American stage and film actress. Eagels appeared in many Broadway productions, and in the emerging medium of sound films. She was posthumously nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her 1929 role in The Letter after dying suddenly that year at the age of 39.
--Crosby GAIGE was a fascinating figure who wore many hats...Born in 1882 and active until his death in 1949, he was a Broadway theatrical producer, cookbook author, epicure, and socialite who helped shape post-Prohibition cocktail culture. There will be more.
