Description: Marion Branch. NHDVS At the end of the Civil War, the U.S. undertook care of disabled Union veterans in a system of homes known by 1873 as national Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers (NHDVS). The offer of free natural gas by Grant County residents and the efforts of local Congressman George W. Steele persuaded Congress to establish the Marion Branch of the NHDVS on July 23. 1888.
