Our Story
First & Second Generation They Have Paved The Way…...
Bland’s Funeral Home was founded on June 15, 1952 by William N. Bland, Sr. and Olivia Elizabeth Hailes Bland, both Licensed Funeral Directors, in Petersburg, Virginia. The first structure, a white framed building, was accented by a white picket fence and a green canopy which covered the area from the porch to the sidewalk. This modest place of business was originally located at 137 Harrison Street. Although the current building has undergone several renovations and expansions, Bland’s Funeral Home has always had the same address. Mr. Bland, Sr. and his wife turned their family-owned business into a landmark for the citizens of Petersburg and surrounding cities and counties.

Bland’s Funeral Home has always opened its doors to the community as a meeting place for African-Americans to address such concerns as Civil Rights, Voter Registration and other local, state, and national issues. Because of its personal touch and superior professional services, the funeral home grew rapidly and rendered first rate services throughout the Tri-Cities area and

beyond. Some of the services provided by the funeral include ambulance service (1952-1966), tax and notary services, and most of all, the Bland family continues to provide a heartfelt empathy to each family who has suffered the personal loss of a loved one. In 1975, Bland’s Funeral Home expanded its business to the city of Hopewell by merging with Turner Funeral Home. An ultra-modern funeral home, known as Turner-Bland Funeral Home, was established in memory of

Hales Electrical Service, Inc. (HESI) - A Growing local business... Generating Power for your Life... Established in October, 2003, HESI was the dream of Tanya Hale, a homeschooling mom who was left to pour gasoline into a 3500 watt portable generator during the aftermath of Hurricane Isabel. Vowing to never pour another gallon of gasoline into a generator again, Tanya sought out and researched many generator suppliers and settled with the nation’s residential home standby leader, Generac Power Systems. Generac provided support and was the highest consumer rated generator. David was a seasoned electrician with more than 20 years’ experience. He had worked in all the major disciplines of his trade, from residential to commercial to industrial. He had taking all the necessary course work and obtained his State Board of Contractors Master Electrician credentials. David was born and raised on a farm in rural Dinwiddie County.As a result, he had experienced life without power and the added stress and concerns that accompanies it many times. They knew there was a need for people to have reliable and affordable back-up power systems. They were genuinely concerned about the elderly, those with medical equipment and dependencies, those with small children or newborns, and he wanted to find a viable solution. David and Tanya had a real desire to make a difference in their community. Born and educated in rural Pennsylvania, Tanya too had experienced the impacts of unpredictable weather and resulting power outages. At the time, Tanya was actively involved in multiple Community projects, the school systems, homeschooling her two children and founded the Dinwiddie County Chamber of Commerce
in 2006. She had the drive and the unique people skills to make things happen. Soon after their initial conversation, David recalls coming in from work one evening, and being met by Tanya at the door. She presented him with a business license, insurance, and had made the necessary preparations for the two of them to launch Hales Electrical Service, Inc. The two have never looked back. From working out of their home and makeshift office, to the facility where the two currently do business, their commitment to each other and the general public has remained unchanged. Of course, and as is the case with most small businesses getting started, there were growing pains and the ever present and insatiable desire to find the best product to offer the public, at the best price. David and Tanya also knew the key to sustaining longevity in any business, but especially one of this nature, rested in effective customer support and the ability to back that support up in a timely manner. To that end, they strengthened their partnership with the industry leader in generated power systems, Generac. Generac represents 72 percent of the generator market across the globe, and has the means, knowledge, and commitment to keep its customers on line 24/7. In order to be the best, you must work with the best. This relationship has proven itself time and time again. Prior to, during, and after such weather events as Irene in the summer of 2011, Hales Electrical Service, in conjunction with Generac support worked around the clock to insure its existing customers were prepared, new customers were taking care of, and repairs and service was not impacted. This partnership and commitment to quality and customer service has made them a Generac Power Pro Elite dealer for a fourth year running!
They were then, and are today, dedicated to providing affordable and reliable back-up power generation systems. The Company’s original mission statement, though simple, has remained the same from day one, and that is: “To Bless Others.” Hales Electrical Service is a prime example of what two dedicated people with a burning desire can accomplish. As sure as each day will present new challenges, David and Tanya will continue to view them as opportunities to make a difference. Though changes in technology, materials, structure, and processes will always be a part of operating a business, the Hales and members of their team remain steadfast and dedicated to the original mission. The long reaching impacts of this company’s work in the lives of those it provides services for, and those that are part of the service team can be realized in the smiles of each. Moving at the speed of technology, Hale’s Electrical Service, Inc. is continuing to grow and evolve in local Dinwiddie County and the Tri-Cities Region. Recently featured on the Dinwiddie County Economic Development website, the Hale’s Team is currently working with local Dinwiddie County Public Schools Career and Technical Education Board, the Workforce Investment Board and John Tyler Community College’s Technical Advisory Committee. The Hale’s continue to be a leader in the industry and in their community. The Hale’s are updating their website at www.haleyesgenerators.com, check in often to see their unveiling of a brand new website loaded with the latest information, photos, reviews and so much more!

The Progress-Index History
Profile
The Progress-Index traces its origins to the Index, first published on July 4, 1865. Soon after the fall of Petersburg in April 1865, two local newspapers including The News were supressed by the Union Army. The News was edited by Anthony M. Keiley a well-known public figure, according to the 1960 book, “Petersburg’s Story, A History” by James G. Scott and Edward A. Wyatt IV. Meanwhile, Keiley not only had his newspaper closed, but he was imprisoned for three days in Castle Thunder in Richmond. After his release, Keiley soon started The Daily Index, which began publication on July 4, 1865. The newspaper, which acknowledged not Keiley but D.L. Williams as publisher, had a more conciliatory tone toward the city’s occupation army. In 1871, The Express became The Daily Progress, and in 1872 became The Appeal, which then merged with The Index. The merged newspaper became known first as The Index and Appeal but later The Index-Appeal in 1873. In 1888, Edwin F. Clements founded The Evening Progress. From those early papers only two remained in 1921: the Index-Appeal (1873) and the Evening Progress (1888). The papers made the news when they moved from the old plant on Tabb Street into new offices at 15 Franklin St., our current location. In 1922 The Evening Progress merged with the morning newspaper The Index-Appeal to become a daily evening and Sunday morning newspaper. On Sunday, Sept. 16, 1923, The Evening Progress and The IndexAppeal (the papers had by then combined) was renamed The Progress-Index. The Progress-Index was purchased in January 1997 by Times Shamrock Communications. In May 2004, Cindy Morgan was named publisher, making her the first female publisher in the newspaper’s history. The Progress-Index converted to a seven-day a week morning newspaper on Oct. 3, 2011.
