In 1858\n         Christian moved with his family to Charles City County,\n         Virginia. His elementary education consisted of four months at\n         a private school in Richmond, Virginia, but did not progress\n         beyond basic reading and math. During his early teens, he\n         commenced working on a farm in Charles City County and never\n         returned to school. At the age of eighteen, he left his\n         parents' farm and came to Richmond where he worked for two\n         years in a tobacco factory. In 1872 Christian entered\n         employment with John A. Belvin, who owned the leading\n         furniture and undertaking business in Richmond. Christian\n         applied himself in this endeavour as a fine finisher,\n         varnisher, and cabinet maker, and when Belvin died in 1880\n         Christian succeeded him and reorganized the business to bear\n         his name.","L. T. Christian became widely known as a funeral director\n         and he soon entered politics. He was a member of the Richmond\n         city council for 10 years beginning in 1888. From 1900 to 1904\n         he served as a delegate from Richmond in the Virginia General\n         Assembly. Christian was also a member and leader of numerous\n         funeral directors' and fraternal organizations, including the\n         Masonic Home of Virginia. He had a hand in the initial\n         organization of the Virginia Game Protective Association, the\n         National Funeral Directors' Association (1883), the Virginia\n         Funeral Directors Association (1887), and the United States\n         College of Embalming (1889). In 1894 Christian co-authored a\n         bill to regulate the practice of embalming in Virginia, a bill\n         which became law that same year and inititated the\n         establishment of the first state examining board of embalming\n         in the United States. Christian also served in the Virginia\n         National Guard: he entered the Virginia Volunteers as a\n         private in 1872 and retired 26 years later with the rank of\n         major. On 5 October 1881, he married his first wife Isabella\n         \"Belle\" Beverley Brown. With her, Christian had three\n         children. She died in 1928, and he married second, Katherine\n         Dubose, who died 2 October 1935. The elder Christian died on\n         13 November 1935 and was interred in Hollywood Cemetery.","Langdon Taylor Christian, Jr., was born on 28 August 1893,\n         the first son and youngest child of Langdon Taylor Christian\n         and his first wife Isabelle \"Belle\" Beverley Brown. Christian\n         graduated from McGuire's University School and became a\n         partner in his father's business by 1920. Upon his father's\n         death in 1935, Christian assumed the presidency of the funeral\n         home, a position he held until his retirement in June 1974.\n         Christian like his father was affiliated with a number of\n         fraternal and funeral director's organizations including the\n         National Funeral Directors Association. He married Ruth\n         Ashmore Valentine and the couple had two children. He died 23\n         October 1975 and was interred in Hollywood Cemetery.","Records, 1912-1986 (bulk 1924-1986), of the clientele of\n         the Richmond, Virginia, funeral home organized and owned by L.\n         T. Christian (1853-1935) and later his son L. T. Christian,\n         Jr. (1893-1975). Within each client/decedent's file are\n         documents pertinent to their death, burial, and/or\n         disinterment. Documents within each file may include\n         advertisements, agreements, brochures, burial and funeral\n         records, death certificates, clippings, correspondence,\n         invoices, lists, military records, notes, obituaries,\n         pamphlets, permits, receipts, and oversize rubbings and\n         sketches of tombstones.","Sales agreements contracted between clients/decedents and\n         the funeral home may contain information including the\n         decedent's birthdate and/or age, birthplace, deathdate, place\n         of death, occupation, sex, race, residence, parents' names and\n         birthplace, next of kin and/or spouse, marital status, place\n         and date of interment, and the official conducting the\n         burial/memorial service. Other details on these agreements may\n         include funeral and burial costs, casket size, physician's\n         name, and cause of death. Obituaries and other newspaper\n         clippings concerning their death are also included for most\n         decedents. There are also handwritten notes containing other\n         information concerning the funeral arrangements in the\n         decedent's file. These notes may include drafts of obituaries,\n         lists of funeral attendants and pallbearers, registers of\n         funeral and memorial visitors, and burial plot locations.","Correspondence principally consists of letters, phone\n         messages, and telegrams exchanged between the funeral home and\n         the decedent's family members, estate administrators, and/or\n         executors, attorneys, government officials, and other funeral\n         homes. The correspondence concerns funeral arrangements,\n         payments or past debt on a funeral, gratitude for services\n         provided, and logistics of transport of the decedent. Receipts\n         and invoices often accompany the correspondence and note\n         charges for corpse transport, floral arrangements, embalming,\n         obituary notices, cemetery fees, federal (National\n         Cemeteries), state and city burial certificates and permits,\n         interment, and other funeral home costs. Other receipts and\n         invoices billed by other funeral businesses (i.e. cemeteries\n         and mortuaries) are also contained herein. Also interspersed\n         throughout this collection are medical examiner's (autopsy)\n         reports and embalmer's reports which note and often explain\n         cause of death. Embalmer's reports contain extensive detail\n         concerning mortuary cosmetology and the process of preparation\n         of the dead.","Military records and correspondence with military officials\n         often is included in the files for decedents who were veterans\n         of the United States Armed Services. These include soldiers\n         who died overseas during World War II, initially were buried\n         in foreign gravesites, and, after the war, were disinterred\n         and reinterred in Richmond with services provided by the L. T.\n         Christian Funeral Home. Both death and reinterment/funeral\n         service dates for these decedents are located in the file, but\n         they are organized chronologically according to the year they\n         were serviced by L. T. Christian Funeral Home. Similarly,\n         decedents who did not serve in the military but were\n         disinterred, relocated, and reinterred by the funeral home\n         have been filed according to the year they were\n         disinterred.","Other items in the collection include advertisements and\n         pamphlets provided by funeral businesses to the funeral home,\n         casket warranty certificates, coffin plates, dog tags,\n         oversize tombstone wax rubbings, and oversize sketches of\n         tombstone art.","(located in folder with Auld, John Hamilton)\n\t\t","There are no restrictions.","Business records\n         collection, Acc. 34483.","English"],"unitid_tesim":["34483"],"normalized_title_ssm":["L.

Price created the Virginia Defense Council in May 1940 by Executive Order to aid the National Defense Council by mobilizing the State's resources so that Virginia could effectively organize for protection in the event of an attack on American soil.  Colonel Mills F. Neal was appointed the first Coordinator, though he resigned in November of 1940 and was replaced by Brigadier General James A. Anderson.  J.H. Wyze was appointed Assistant Coordinator in January 1941.  Governor Price originially appointed ten members to the Council, though this number was later raised to sixteen members. The members of the Council represented activities across the state, including industry, labor, welfare, recreation, agriculture, transportation, education and the military.  The State was divided into eight Regional Defense Councils (Fredericksburg, Hampton Roads, Northern Virginia. Radford, Richmond-Petersburg-Hopewell, Shenandoah Valley, Southern Piedmont and Southwest Virginia) to assist in coordinating and managing defense activities across the state.  The Council and regional councils were advisory and had no administration authority.  The Virginia Defense Council established the Virginia Protective Force to take the place of the National Guard, which had been inducted into the Army; the Aircraft Warning Service; the Air Raid Warning System, with Warning and Control Centers; and Emergency Medical Services, which conducted surveys of medical facilities and personnel to assist in planning for medical services in case of emergency.  The Council and regional offices also organized auxilliary police and firemen, home nursing and nutrition classes, and resource conservation activities, and established Recreation Committees to support visiting soldiers.  Gen. Anderson resigned in August of 1941 and J. H. Wyze was appointed Acting Coordinator, and served in that capacity until the Virginia Defense Council was automatically dissolved on January 20, 1942, when Governor Price left office, though the Council remained active during an interim period between January 21-February 11, 1942.","The Virginia Office of Civilian Defense was established by an Act of the General Assembly (Chap. 10, Acts of 1942, House Bill 209), on February 11, 1942. Governor Colgate Darden, Jr., appointed J. H. Wyse as State Coordinator with authority to administer Civilian Defense programs at the state level and to organize and direct local defense councils.  Rather than organize under the old regional system, the Office of Civilian Defense established local defense councils in counties, cities and incorporated towns throughout the state, with the mayor or chief executive officer as the director of the local council.  The Office coordinated the activities, services and programs of the local defense councils, but this system placed responsibility for civilian defense in the hands of local public officials.","Two major divisions of the Office of Civilian Defense were Civilian Protection and Civilian Mobilization for War Services.  Civilian Protection activities were carried out by U.S. Citizens Defense Corps and included Air Raid Wardens and Shelters, Aircraft Warning Service, Auxiliary Police, Auxiliary Firemen, Blackout testing, Decontamination Squads, Drivers Corps, Emergency Food and Housing Services, Emergency Medical Services, Emergency Welfare Services, Fire Guards, Forest Fire Fighters Service, Gas Program, Plant Protection, Road Repair Crews, and the State Evacuation Authority.  Civilian Mobilization for War Services was carried out by the U.S. Citizens Service Corps, which led efforts to keep the homefront strong in areas including Child Care, Consumer Programs, Health and Hospital Services, Housing Services, Library Services, Nutrition Services, Recreation and Youth Group Services, Salvage Programs, and War Bonds and Stamps.","With the defeat of Germany and Japan in 1945 the need for the office came to an end.  On November 19, 1945, Governor Darden issued an executive order abolishing the office effective January 1, 1946.","Original folder titles have been retained.\n","This collection documents the activities of the Virginia Office of Civilian Defense (1942-1945), and also includes some records from the Virginia Defense Council (1940-1942), and the Southwest Virginia Regional Defense Council (1941 Dec-1942).

The Office coordinated the activities, services and programs of the local defense councils, but this system placed responsibility for civilian defense in the hands of local public officials.","Two major divisions of the Office of Civilian Defense were Civilian Protection and Civilian Mobilization for War Services.  Civilian Protection activities were carried out by U.S. Citizens Defense Corps and included Air Raid Wardens and Shelters, Aircraft Warning Service, Auxiliary Police, Auxiliary Firemen, Blackout testing, Decontamination Squads, Drivers Corps, Emergency Food and Housing Services, Emergency Medical Services, Emergency Welfare Services, Fire Guards, Forest Fire Fighters Service, Gas Program, Plant Protection, Road Repair Crews, and the State Evacuation Authority.  Civilian Mobilization for War Services was carried out by the U.S. Citizens Service Corps, which led efforts to keep the homefront strong in areas including Child Care, Consumer Programs, Health and Hospital Services, Housing Services, Library Services, Nutrition Services, Recreation and Youth Group Services, Salvage Programs, and War Bonds and Stamps.","With the defeat of Germany and Japan in 1945 the need for the office came to an end.  On November 19, 1945, Governor Darden issued an executive order abolishing the office effective January 1, 1946."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eRecords of the Virginia Office of Civilian Defense, 1939-1947 (bulk 1942-1944).

Thomas Nelson held the position of the first Secretary of Virginia in 1776.  Early Secretaries were elected by the public.  An Act of the General Assembly in 1920 changed the election to a joint vote of the General Assembly.  In a 1930 Act the duties of the Secretary were redefined with the Secretary of the Commonwealth serving as the ex officio secretary of the Governor, as custodian of many official State records, and as keeper of the Greater and Lesser Seals of the Commonwealth.  The office of the Secretary has gradually acquired other functions, such as:  service of out-of-state civil process; appointment and regulation of notaries public; and registration and oversight of lobbyists.  The Office became a gubernatorial appointment subsequent to a 1958 Act of the Assembly.  The Secretary of the Commonwealth is under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office.  The Secretary is appointed by the Governor for a term of four years.  Currently the Secretary of the Commonwealth is responsible for gubernatorial appointments, clemency and restoration of civil rights requests and extraditions.  Additional activities include:  serving as ex officio Secretary to the Governor; serving as keeper of the seals of the Commonwealth; compiling and publishing the annual Blue Book; commissioning and regulating notary publics, including the publication of a Notary Handbook and conduct of disciplinary hearings; promulgating the lobbying disclosure requirements, registration of lobbyists, and recording of lobbying reports; servicing the civil process of out-of-state defendants and other parties; and authenticating and certifying the records of the courts and of any state agency.\n","The Secretary of the Commonwealth, Records, are housed in 290 boxes.
