COUNTY SOLDIERS' GRAVES LOCATED A project under the direction of Mr. Thomas F. Hammond, designed to locate the graves of Westchester County men who have served in the thirty-two wars of this country and undertaken as a joint project of the County and the W.P.A., is said to be nearing completion. Work on this project was started January 1, 1939 as the result of a plan conceived at the American Legion Convention at New York City in 1937. Through the assistance of veteran organizations, the checking of County and historical records and extensive field work, one hundred and seventy-five cemeteries have been checked and four hundred maps prepared showing the exact location of the burying places. A file index, with all records of the veterans as to their birth, death, war service, date of discharge, cause of death, has been made in duplicate, one file to stay in the County and the other to be placed in the Adjutant General's office in Albany. Further appropriations for the

continuance of these records have been requested of the Board of Supervisors of the County by the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

CELEBRATION OF THE FOUNDING OF THE ELMSFORD CHURCH Although no records can be found to attest to the accuracy of the date, it is believed that the Elmsford Reformed Church was founded in 1788. In accordance with this belief, services were held in the church on June 21 to commemorate its one hundred and fifty-second anniversary. Isaac Van Wart, one of the three captors of Major John Andre, was a founder of the church which has changed its denomination three times, being first Congregational, then Presbyterian and finally from 1850 on, Dutch Reformed. Until the incorporation of Elmsford as a village twenty-five years ago, it was known as the Greenburgh Reformed Church.
