��D edication
With all aspirations for future progress, there is the reminiscence of the
development of the past. U the doors of Jefferson Hospital could speak to us
today, they would probably tell us of the early days of 1908 when Doctor Hugh
H. Trout first opened the Jefferson Surgical Hospital. They would recall those
days when the Hospital had a total of fourteen beds and Miss Hope Ervine was
head nurse. Looki ng back over the many personalities who left their indelible
influence on the Jefferson Hospital, the doors would remember Doctor George
B. Lawson and his "Visible Drip". used today to regulate all fluids; Doctor
J ohn W. Preston , founder of the Out-Patient Department; Miss Harriet Nelson.
the first surgical nurse; Mr. William Daniels, the first business Manager;
Miss Frances I. Lusby , the first Superintendent of Nurses; Miss Ethel P. Bowen.
the first assistant Superintendent of Nurses; Doctor Roger H. DuBose. the
founder of the Pediatric Department; Doctor Thomas Redfield. who set the
Laboratory on its feet and was the first Administrator; Doc tor Harry B. Stone.
the first Eye. Ear. Nose. and Throat Specialist: Doctor Hayward Wescott. the
Orthopedic surgeon who first put a pin in a fractured hip; Mrs. Airhart. Doctor
Hugh H. Trout's first secretary; and Doctor A. P. Jones. who worked with the
Hospital staff from the early days of its establishment.

They would recall too. that the School of Nursing was founded in 1914 and
the first graduating class consisted of sLx yow1g ladies. the charter members
of the alumnae of Jefferson Hospital School of Nursing. In the fifty-one years
since its foundin g. the School of Nursing has known the experienced teaching
skills of many professional nurses and doctors. More recently they remember
the founding of a School of Practical Nursing and the training of L aboratory
and X-ray Technicians here.
All of us whose lives have been affiliated with Jefferson Hospita l in any
capacity hav e experienced nostalgic sentiment s as we have watched the preparations for the final closing of the doors which have been open for the past
fifty-seven years. Even though we eage rly anticipate the improved facilities
of the Community Hospital of Roanoke Valley. we silently hope thal the high
quality of lhe Jefferson Hospital nurses and doctors will lighl the way for the
future.
So it is that we the staff uf the 1965 Lamplighter wish to dedicate this
final publication to the countless men and women who have been the Lamplighters in education. administration and total patient care in what shall always
be known as the Jeffe r son lradition.

The Student Government Association is composed of each student in the Jefferson Hospital School
of Nursing and its officers are elected from among its membership. By upholding the highest
personal and professional standards; promoting student honor and loyalty; promot ing effective
communication between the faculty, nursing staff, doctors, and student nurses; enacting and enforcing all legislation within the student's scope of power and which is necessary for professional and social unity; it strives to aid in the development of student nurses as truly democratic
citizens by broadening their horizons as individuals as well as members of a group.

The Staif of the 1965 Lamplighter had a very precarious beginning. It was preceeded the year
before with the stipulation of financial independence and for this reason was not wholeheartedly
backed by the student body. Having managed, however, to persuade council to give us a chance ,
we have worked diligently to pull through this year with what we consider a fine book. Much
credit goes to the students in all classes, especially the Freshmen, and to our sponsors. For
this we are grateful, and hope that this edition of The Lamplighter will bring as much pleasure
to you as it has to us.

"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." (Psalm 119: 105)
We believe that through the fellowship of God and man, we should develop a harmony of living
and a growing sense of love and responsibility towards God and nursing. We believe that through
the study of God's will and through devout worship, our souls and ideals will be strengthened to
meet the needs of the individual as well as her profession.
Our philosophy has grown out of the experience of years gone by and was formulated upon the
realization that religion is not only necessary for the young student nurse in learning to know
and understand her patient, but it is vital for the student's understanding of herself. We have
worked diligently this year in combination with the Vesper Club of Lewis-Gale Hospital in paving the way for an effective religious organization for the future students of CHRV.
Pictured here is the
chancel of Saint Mark's
Luthern Church which
has been beloved by the
students of the Jefferson
Hospital School of Nursing for many years. It
is here that we receive
our cherished caps; it
is here that we find solace and strength through
the years of struggle
and doubt; and it is here
that we finally receive
our pin and diploma. It
is very fitting and proper that we honor this
site.

The Jefferson Hospital Glee Club was first organized in 1943 and has been under the direction of Mrs . Herman Marshall since 1947. Mrs. Helen Robertson a ccompanies the Glee Club
at the piano. We are very grateful for the guidance and interest of each of these talented musicians. This year, the Glee Club consists of twenty-eight members participating in many community activities and ev ents . Each year, we look forward to singing for churches , on television,
for the Optimist Club, and caroling in the hospital at Christmas. Providing the music for Capping and Graduation are traditional occasions that are significant to all of us. This year, we
have been invited to sing in the annual Spring Concert with the Lewis-Gale Hospital Glee Club,
and we look forward to the event with great enthusiasm.

Party
"But You DIDN'T know it was Color!"
Christmas here brings fun and food at the
students annual Christmas Party. Sponsored
by the hospital it is the one social event in
which everyone participates. And here are
some of the scenes from this year. More than
you can eat. presents and surprises galore
along with the theme of "Holidays Ahead" play
a large part in making the first year bearable,
the second year a milestone and the third year
a bit melancholy.
"Our Christmas Tree."
"Bet you can't eat ONE."
All in all its a big scene and one we look
forward to with g reat anticipation, 'cause its
always great. By the way you can tell whose

Housemothers
"Put out the cat when you come in tonight!"
Extra late leaves are a senior privilege but
having a housemother who is happy to wait up
for you is too. Mrs. Evelyn B. Dailey is that
housemother and is pictured with senior student, Julia Thompson, as she signs out a house
key. Just knowing there is someone who is
interested in your welfare means a great deal,
and Mrs. Dailey has shown this quality consistently with a special touch all her own. We
share a very personal feeling toward her.
"Did you dial 9 first?"
Girls everywhere are famous for their lengthy
telephone conversations, and certainly student
nurses are no exception. Here, Mrs. Neeley,
reminds Miss Donna Fouch, a junior student,
that she has to dial 9 before she can reach an
outs ide number . Our memories of dorm life
would not be complete without scenes such as
this and they will always be remembered because of the unceasing efforts of Mrs. Neeley
to make us happy. In every sense of the word,
she has really been our second "mother"!

Giving out the mail is just one of the many
duties of our housemothers, and here we see
Mrs . Bigler with two of the freshmen students,
Miss Judy Walker and Miss Terri Bishop.
The housemothers help to provide a homelike atmosphere in the nurses' dorm that helps
each girl to feel more at home.

Before the doors of Jefferson Hospital close for the final time, the class of 1965 will add its
flame to the lamp that will be CHRV. Since the class first assembled on September 3, 1962,
With thirty fr i ghtened preclinical students, much has been accomplished in the lives of each one
of us. Realms never before conquered are now an established part of the personality and char acter that goes to make us more worthwhile citizens of our modern world. Knowledge, experience, and poise are molded now into potential resour ce material as each of us enters the responsibility we will eventually hold as registered nurses.
Many memories will never be forgotten in our minds and hearts- -trips to Roanoke College-the Halloween Candy--the Cat--theJunior- Senior Dance- -Western State- -Catawba--Miss Henry
--and all the many special occasions that will always remain as the cherished treasures of our
student days. Especially, we shall always r emember the guidance of our class sponsors, Mrs.
Mathews and Dr. Roller. Both of them stood beside us through "thick and thin' ', "bad and good",
and to them will always be a debt of gratitude.
After our lamp passes , the doors of J efferson Hospital will close; but J efferson's lamp will
always s hine. It will shine as long as we, the class of 1965, continue to practice our chosen profession in the tradition that is "Jefferson!"

"But I love my nurse"
"He ' s putting me on"
... says one little patient to another on the
pediatric unit. That nurse happens to be Miss
Louise Jenkins, senior student, who apparently knows her subject pretty well, for who would
ever expect to see such a beautiful example of
rapport.
. . . says senior nurse Miss Linda Edwards of
the Wizard pharmacist Mr. Phillip Gibb. ''Who
ever heard of Candid-Combids?" Maybe if I
had under stood the class- but no that is all still
Greek to me. (and most likely to thee!)
"It looks like a mess to me"
"Woe is me"
Down in the dark rooms of X-ray is one known
as the office of Dr. Charles Peterson. Seen
here is such a place with the master himself
teaching senior student Carol Smith and X-ray
student Sandy Shannon the wherefores and howcomes of an upper G.I. series.
. .. says little boy blue. Here in the dispensary
is senior nurse Miss Doris Rich attending a
child under. the supervision of Mrs. Marjorie
Pybass, R. N. This phase of nursing includes
emergencies and clinic work and offers the
most varied of experiences seen in hospital
duty. It is here that one puts into practice the
knowledge of all the many separate fields she
has studied, incl uding the drying up of little
tears .

As the doors of J efferson Hospital draw closed for the final time, the class of 1966 will collect
all the treasured memories of the many months since the day we began our nursing education.
Adding the light from the lamp of Jefferson Hospital, the class of 1966 will strive to make the
lamp of CHRV glow bright to lighten the path for those who will come in future years.
Despite separation by rotation schedules, affiliations, and vacations, our loyalty to each other
and to our school have remained strong. We have gained in adaptability and maturity as we experienced the constant changes necessary for the organization of CHRV.
Our proj ects have been both successful and satisfying for we have not only supplemented our
class income with dues, bake sales, candy and doughnut sales, but have also made stuffed toys
for the pediatric ward, made "soap-fish" and Christmas caroled for the patients of a local nursing home.
Active in community, school, and district, our members have been honored by appearing on tel evision programs by being asked to speak to Red Cross, Future Nurses Clubs , and by holding
District VI, SNA v, offices and school offices.
These and other memories will remain in our hearts long after material things have been destroyed and will leave an indelible influence on our lives. We strive to demonstrate our highest
standards and developed skills in the tradition that is "Jefferson". In this way, we will add our
light to the lamp that is CHRV.

�"Oooh ! Will it break? fl
"This gown is a wee bit small , I thi nk!"
Miss Reba Phipps is pictured her e in one of
the happiest places in the hospital! Amid the
many sick patients found on the medical- s urgical wards, we often forget that life has a wonderful beginning - as well as an inevitable ending. The Nursery reminds us of this as we view
the rows upon rows of newborn infants.
Miss Nancy Chewning is pictu red h ere a s s he
dons the familiar apparel typical of t h e Oper ating Room personnel. She re m ind s us of t he
wondrous miracles performed by t h e s killed
hands of the numerous surgeons who c o me here
each day. It is during this service that we realize more fully the great advancements in th e
medical world of today, and viv idly understand
the wealth of knowledge remaining yet to be
gained.
"Areyou sure that's what an enema tray looks
like? fl
"You say that I 'm supposed t o clim b over the
edge of it? "
Miss Diane Hatcher is pictured here as she secures a familiar item - the enema tray! None
of us could function very well unless we could
depend on the efficiency of the personnel working in Central Supply. Their cheerfulness and
cooperative attitude seems to make even the
largest errand appear less of a chore. Often
we do not have the time to stop and say how
much their service means to us as nurses, but
we all realize the importance their job holds
to the welfare of the patient.
Miss Rita Hedrick stands among the pleasant
surroundings of Physical T herapy . Certainly
we cannot underestimate the i mp ortant role of
physical ther apy in the rehabilitation pr ograms
planned for the restoration of maxi m u m nor mal
function to the convalescing patient. Often we
forget the importance of this service i n teach ingthe patient tolive as normal a life as possible under the limitations of his disease or
deformity. Modern equipment helps bring maximum effect to the patient.

As the doors of Jefferson Hospital School of Nursing close for the final time, the class of
1967 is just beginning its education and is adding its flame to the lamp that is CHRV. The noteworthy traditions of J efferson Hospital have left their influence on the personal philosophies
and individual objectives of each member of the class of 1967, and certainly none of us will ever
forget the institution of nursing education wherein we first assembled on September 7, 1964.
Entering unknown waters is always difficult and so it has been for the eighteen members of
our freshmen class. As the months passed by, we gathered light from the brightly burning lamp
established and kept burning by those before us. We learned more about nursing and the contributions expected of us .
We'll always remember our First Day - initiation by the juniors and seniors - the needy
family project - the Christmas Party - selling annual ads - Big Sisters - and all the difficult,
insecure days when we felt we could not possibly go on another day·
We will remember it all as just a step we had to make to progress up our chosen ladder of
education - to reach our final goal of registered nurse in 1967 · May we carry flames from the
lamp of Jefferson Hospital to the young lamp of CHRV.

�"Someday, I'll t.orture you like you've tortured

"I know potatoes are fattening- but .. . ! "
Our fully equipped laboratory is a very important part of the hospital. The diagnostic tests
carried out here are important tools preliminary to the treatment of the condition of a specific patient. Here we see Mr. Cantrell about
to obtain a blood sample by venipuncture from
Miss Brenda Williams.
We are like any normal American girls and enjoy meal time tremendously. Our cafeteria is
pictured here as Miss Kathy Nash and Miss
Janet Delp pass through the line and are served.
In our studies, we learn the important role nutrition plays in the healing of the body and it
has caused us to better appreciate the activities of our dietary staff.
"Could I have it in nickels and dimes please ?"
"!think my mother's maiden name was Jones !"
As Miss Margaret George cashes her check at
the Business Office, we are reminded of the
many activities carried on here. All of the
money transactions are either initiated or terminated here and we certainly cannot overlook
the importance that money and its management
holds in our lives.
II ere we see Miss Bertha Carroll at the Admitting Office where all hospitalizations ha~e. their
beginning. It is the site of constant .activity as
Mrs. Terry tries to find a bed to suit each patient, and tries to meet th~ demands of an ever
increasing number of patients.
�School of P ractical N ursing
July 1964 marked the beginning of the School of Practical
Nursing at Jeffer son Hospital, and it will be yet another landmark in the history of nursing education in the future of CHRV.
Students who are rising seniors in the Roanoke County High
Schools are eligible for admission, and they begin their
preclinical work during their senior year. Upon satisfactory
completion of the preclinical phase, the student receives
two credits toward her high school diploma, and she enters
the hospital for eight months of clinical education. Satisfacto rily completing this phase of the program and passing
the State Board Examination, she becomes a Licensed Practical Nurse, fully qualified to participate in many fields of
nursing.

Jefferson Hospital Nurses' Alumnae Association was organized very shortly after the first class
graduated in 1917. The Association endeavors to provide its membership with both entertaining and educational programs at monthly meetings where plans are formulated to support community projects and services. Supporting student activities, and providing a loan fund are additional endeavors of the Association. Each year, the graduating seniors are honored at an annual
banquet. The Marion Crissman Welsh award is presented each year to the graduating senior
with the highest scholastic average throughout the three years. It is given in honor of the Director of Nurses, Mrs. Marion Crissman Welsh.
The Golden Anniversary celebration in
September 1964 assembled two hundred
graduate nurses in
Roanoke. Here we

Jefferson Hospital School of Nursing
Description
An account of the resource
In 1907, Dr. Hugh Trout founded Jefferson Hospital, a small, 40-bed hospital named in honor and memory of Thomas Jefferson.
Dr. Trout soon found that the need for adequately trained nurses in the area far surpassed those available. In an effort to alleviate the shortage, he established the Jefferson Hospital School of Nursing. The school opened its doors in 1914, with an initial class of six students. All six completed the 33-month training program and graduated in 1917. A self-study following the first graduation concluded that the school exceeded the Standard Curriculum for Schools of Nursing, published by the National League for Nursing Education. The school earned approval from the American College of Surgeons and the American Medical Association in 1923, and was recognized by the American Hospital Association in 1926. Between 1914 and 1965, Jefferson Hospital School of Nursing trained 658 new nurses, most of whom stayed within the community upon graduation.

�!Remember ZoJ.ben-.?
OnasultrySunday afternoon, August 27, 1961, 39 scared little "probies" crossed the
threshold of quiet home llie into the hurry- scurry world of nursing. Everyone was so
strange and deep in her own heart, each girl wondered what their roommate was going to
be like. That night, behind the darkness, many pillows were wet with the tears of homesickness.
The next day dawned bright and EARLY. Oh, such a pile of books and notebooks that
were passed out. Will we ever make it?
During the next few months, time passed slowly but surely, then the first grades were
posted! Remember that terrible feeling of dread you fe lt when you stood outside O. M.C.' s
office door every month waiting your turn?
Bynow,afewofourclassmateshad dropped by the wayside, each for her own reason.
Study hours! Oh, My l Every night we studied from 7- 9:30; well, maybe not every
night 'cause occassionally we played.
Wasn't dorm life great? Remember the nights the showers mysteriously came on
full blast and the rides down the steps on the mattress? What about finding out that the
sudden noise in the still of the night is an empty coke bottle making its way down the wooden
stairs?
That first day on the floor I I'll bet that's the best bath those elderly men ever got,
don't you? Wasn't it a frustrating feeling to have your bed free of wrinkles a nd then have
your instructor tell you that your bottom sheet was on upside down?
March 2, 1962, we received our first caps I My, weren' t we proud? The future looked
so much brighter now.
Time passed and we began our special services. What about the f irst time you scrubbed
alone with Dr. H. Trout? Remember how much akelly clamp resembled the straight? Do you
recallseeingyourfirstdeliver y and Dr. Groseclose telling you to shut your mouth before
a fly flew into it?
Night duty--the moments when you thought each step was your last and that each
shadow seemed to leap at you ?
Emergency Room--remember how your heart did a double- triple summersault when
you saw an ambulance pull up or the phone rang. WHAT NOW?
Yes, time has passed and is still passing. Quietly and swiftly, it moves gently over
the ripples of our lives, leaving its scars and victories. At last, those scared little
"probies" of long ago, are finishing up the training that will prepare them for their life's
work.
Who knows where our roads will lead us and what obstacles we may meet? No matter
what may happen we can always look back to the years at J .H. and to the memories which
lie within these hallowed halls. And, should we ever meet along future pathways , we can
always say "Remember when? "

�It's only a piece of white muslin
Perched on top of my head,
Its value to some may mean nothing,
To me it's a symbol instead.
A symbol of hope, cheer and comfort,
To those who are suffering and ill,
To me it gives strength unbelieving,
My work to perform with a will!
Sometimes I am discouraged, disheartened,
My task seem so hopeless to me,
My cap seems to speak of a promise
Of things I so want to be!
No jewels adorn its wide brim,
So simple and pl ain in its lineTreat it with reverence and honor,
For there's only one cap of its kind!

Nursing is a profession which, in cooperation with associated g roups,
seeks to promote human welfare through health teaching, ministering to
the sick, and rehabilitation. The professional nurse acknowledges that
the patient is her most important responsibility and that through effective
interpersonal relationships with him, the physician, and members of
the health team, she fulfills her role in meeting the patient's individual
needs .
Education is a continuing process of growth and development whereby
knowledge, ability, understanding, and appreciation are assimilated by
the learner.
Nursing education is basically a scientific program of study which
enables a motivated student to perform specialized skills and to acquire
related knowledge to help her meet the health needs of society.
Learning is an active process whereby a change in behavior of the
student occurs as the result of investigation and participation in selected
experiences. It is recognized that the amount of learning for each stu dent varies depending upon her level of maturity and her ability to relate
past experiences to new situations.
The student should take advantage of all learning opportunities and
accept the responsibility for her actions . The student should d evelop
the ability to give care with compassion, be calm i n emergency situations, and be sympathetic in the face of death.
It is the responsibility of the faculty to provide a flexi bl e, dynamic
program which is based on sound educational principles and which
strives to make a contribution to mankind . It is their responsibility
through a democratic atmosphere to offer guidance and counseling to
students in order to help meet their personal and professional needs as
individuals.

Description
An account of the resource
In 1907, Dr. Hugh Trout founded Jefferson Hospital, a small, 40-bed hospital named in honor and memory of Thomas Jefferson.
Dr. Trout soon found that the need for adequately trained nurses in the area far surpassed those available. In an effort to alleviate the shortage, he established the Jefferson Hospital School of Nursing. The school opened its doors in 1914, with an initial class of six students. All six completed the 33-month training program and graduated in 1917. A self-study following the first graduation concluded that the school exceeded the Standard Curriculum for Schools of Nursing, published by the National League for Nursing Education. The school earned approval from the American College of Surgeons and the American Medical Association in 1923, and was recognized by the American Hospital Association in 1926. Between 1914 and 1965, Jefferson Hospital School of Nursing trained 658 new nurses, most of whom stayed within the community upon graduation.

�PREFACE
This book goes out with sincere wishes of the Year Book Staff, that
it may further the desire and interest of those who read it to com pi le detailed
incidents in their life so they may be put together with others to form a
complete picture of the lives-and lived years combined , making the true
picture revealed.
Much time hos been spent reading, interviewing, checking, rechecking
stories, dotes, incidents, development in medicine. The really great monsilent, expressive, humble, frustrated, visionary, ambitious, discouraged,
tragic and warmhearted. The dedicated women that hove Iived ful I dedicated
lives to the cause of human suffering.
The research of a hospital Surgical and Medical is teamwork on the
port of doctors, nurses, technicians-each of whom is a specialist a nd all of
whom work in intimate cooperation. It is imposs ible to separate them.
There is a plan in this life, we the Year Book Staff do acknowledge.
We give special thanks to each of you that hove given information, been a
patron, and wrote notes. Thank you; without your help our history of our
hospital would not hove been possible.
�INTRODUCTION
The history of ony hospital is very largely the histo ry of the men and
women who led it, and Jefferson Hospital is no exception.
In this book ore contained brief but accurate as known reco rds can
be obtained by us ing the statistical method of times series. Yo u will f ind
the running period 10 years each.
1908-1958
Due to the fabulous number of life yea rs lived in the 5 0 years of one
institution-it would be boring-unprof itoble and impossible to tell you of
everyone.
In a word this wo rk is given to you from extreme s tudy-intensive
inte rest- and some knowledge of hospi tals-doctors, nurse, patient, and
anxious family experience.
Mrs. A . M . Groseclose, an R.N., a doctor's wife-a mother-and lover
of the individual, consented to do the writing for us, she took the time to
do the major research-hos kept enthusiastic throughout the six m onths,
wh il e we become discou raged, d isgusted-disappointed and wondered why
we hod ever dreamed of such a task.
It is with pleasure we commend t his book to each of you.
Hoping to eve ry doctor- nurse-orderly-friend-patient-to every
team that has worked to make the hospital what it is, although your name
is not written in print, you will know it mean t you. For every memory loosened
in your subconsci ous to be thankful you ore a port and perhaps express
yourself, so more can be written full e r la te r.
These men and women represent human beings of flesh and blood who
achieved grea tly because they were indust rious-courageous-dedicated and
visiona ry-a t the right place to fit into this plan, not because they had any
mag ic secret o f success.

�THE PURPOSE
1908-1940
MY DEAR HUGO:
Hugh, there is a story that began quite a long time ago which I feel
you will enjoy. By writing this I hope you will grasp a little of the heritage
which is yours and that you as well as others may profit by it.
The story is really one of history that began in Staunton, Virginia . The
exact date was June 8, 1878 when Hugh Henry Trout was born.
Young Hugh's childhood and earlier adolescent years passed in normal
fashion. However, in the fall of 1894 he found himself on a train headed
for school in Alexandria . On the train he visualized Washington, D. C., the
National Capitol, and all of its sights. When the train stopped at Alexandria,
Hugh didn't leave his seat. He continued on into Washington to see the
sights which interested people then and today.
Autumn of 1898 found Hugh Trout enrolled in the University of Virg inia
School of Medicine from which he received his Doctor of Medicine in 1902.
After the University of Virginia and his M.D. Degree, young Dr. Hugh
Trout, Sr. served an internship in the Union Protestant Infirmary (now the
Union Memorial Hospital) and St. Joseph's Hospital in Baltimore. Following
CLASS OF 1919
�CLASS OF 1922
this, he received an appointment to the dispensary service of Johns Hopkins
Hospital. When he left Baltimore, he went to Boston, where he did postgraduate work at Harvard University. Then bock to Baltimore where he was
an Assistant Instructor in Genito-Urinary Surgery at J ohns Hopkins. Hi s
work in patho logy was done at the University of Berl in where he studied unde r
Professor Pick.
February 6, 1908, on a rticle appeared in "The Independent", a New
York newspaper which marked a milestone. It read "Moving picture theaters
... have opened in every town and vi II age in the country . . . In the town
of Roanoke, Virginia, a young doctor due to o health probl em, hod come to
practice. He hod nowhere to practice, so Dr. J . M . T . Finney of Baltimore
advised him to build his own hospital. Dr. Hugh H . Tro ut said, "Bu t I hove
nothing to build it with." Dr. Finney assured him that he would bock his
endeavors. So Dr. Hugh Henry T rout opened the Jefferson Surgical H ospital
in 1908 with 14 beds .
Between these two men, Dr. Trout and Dr. Finney, there grew a friend ship that was steadfast throughou t their Iives.
"In 1908", you must be asking, "what did we hove in the way of hospitals?" Hugo, as so often is the case, women s tarted the h osp ital movement.
The Kings Daughters in 1888 opened a building at 526 Nelson Street, S. W.,
" Home for the Sick". This was inadequate so th ey launched a campai gn for
a new building. The financial panic of the Nineties brought construction to a
standstill. 1900 sow the completion of this hospital, "The Roanoke H ospital."
In 1888 Dr. Charles G. Cannaday opened the "Rebekah Sanitarium"
Elm Avenue, which was the first surgical h osp ital in Southwest Virginia. It
ope rated unti I 1911.
With the opening of the J efferson Surgical H ospi t al come o staff of
unforgettable people. As head nurse, Mi ss Ho pe Ervine, R. N ., o graduate
of Johns Hopk ins School o f Nursing. Mi ss Sue David son, also a H opkins
graduate, was operating room nurse.
Duffy, a white Irish orderly, they t ell me was for m o re than on orderly.
He could handle most emergencies with the greatest of ease.
Food? Well, this was cooked in the basement. It was brought up and
served to the doctors and nurses on the first floor of the hospito I. Miss
Mollie Walker was head of the deportm ent. She visited the patient and
�food was cooked to fill each one's order.
I am told, Hugo, that the atmosphere was much as a large fam il y. The
patients felt as if they were visiting relatives because of the warmth and
wonderful southern hospita lity which was so heartwarming .
In the office, "the boss" was Miss Robertson (now Mrs. R. Airhart),
who was Dr. Hugh Trout's first secretory.
Young Dr. Hugh H. Trout had patients to come from the counties
bordering Roanoke and Southwest Virginia. A typical story to descr ibe his
kindness, wh ic h he was so ful I of, Hugo, is this-" One day o letter come
telling of the great need of an ope rati on. The pat ient had one cow. The
patient asked if he sold the cow, would that pay for his operat ion::> The
answer was-" I om not o doctor to break o man, but to make him well so
he con work ." The operation was performed.
Everything mushroomed so fast, Hugo, that no one really remembers
much of how and when, for always something was be ing added to the or igina l
building.
A man working on the add itions to the hospital once told this, when he
asked Dr . Trout. H e told that Dr. Trout stopped, looked him in the eye and
said , "Don't ask if we con- never tell me the price-I will think of the money
- I will know we should not do it- and soy so-go ahead and do what is right.
I om a surgeon. I om needed by the patient rich or poor. If I om making
o financial decision, I will not be as alert for operat ing. My job is to make
men well. Your job is t o make o hospital." This workman, Hugo, found
it easy, I om sure, to do his shore as a member of the hospita l team.

Hugo, I want to refer back to another newspaper clipping in 1908"Don't be taken in by the new doctor t hat hos come t o town and is doing
blood counts. They are just a fad and will not lost." However, young D r.
Trout went on doing b lood count s as so is the rest of t he wor ld today. D r.
Trout did the first blood counts to determine infections such as a ppendic itis.
Here will be just the place to tell about something t hat is being done
in every hospita l, possib ly in a ll the world . "An instrument for accu ra t e ly
regulating the amount of f luids g iven slowly by rectum." George B. Lawson,
M.D., Wytheville, Virg inia, Number 16, Page 1267 , Apri l 1908, Journal
of the Ame rican Med ica l Association. The arti cle is on the first visible d r ip,
the one later known as the Murphy dri p . We u se it now in regulating all fluids
given today; t ransfusions, g lucose, et cetera.
Th is man, George B-. Lawson, was born a year later t han ou r Dr. Trout.
He was reared on the banks of the famous T ug River of West Vi rg inio. T h is
man was then as we all see him today, of many interests . As was once
said is still true, "He hod a head to contrive; a tongue to persuade and a
hand to execute."
The head has been contriv ing since the " v isible drip" that we know
as the Murphy drip. There is a letter doted 1911 from D r . M urphy saying,
" It is not my idea o r my invention". " Th e tongue hos persuaded" since he
wa lked into Dr. Trout's office and stated how a new hosp ital needed a
medical man. Dr. Trout, when asked later about this young man, answered
with th is-" I looked at the set of the jaw and I knew he wou Id be a good
man." "The hand to execute " - whether it be man of illness, man of vision,
man of bus iness, G. B. Lawson, M .D., has a hand to e xecute. The medical
literature is full of his many articles . When he greets you, you'll hear "Good
morn ing, momn"; you don't soy momn: You then hove j ust met the G. B.
Lawson, M.D.
Hugo, 1908 was a dramatic yea r. It also brought D r . John W . P reston
to ~efferson. He started and ran the Out-Patient Deportment for five years.
Thi~ man a lways impressed me because he fought aggressively for good
eth ics. This man was se rv ing on the State Boord at the time of his dea th .
�CLASS OF 1927
Miss Harriet Nelson, o graduate of Union Protestant Institute, Baltimore,
Maryland, come to Jefferson as Dr. Trout's first surgical nurse. She acquired
o nickname "Surg" and hardly anyone knew her as Miss Nelson . She married
Mr. Ro bert Mortin of Solem, and left the Hospital around 1914.
Mr. William Daniels came to Jefferson, Hugo, as our first Business
Manager.
Dr. Robert Rhodes came but didn't stay too long for he went back to
his home in Augusta, Georgia.
Dr. A. P. Jones had come to the permanent staff with Dr. Trout.
1914 found Miss Frances J. Lushy here as the first Superintendent of
Nurses with Mi ss Ethel P. Bowen as her assistant. They were both graduates
of Union Memorial Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland . These two women set
standards for the students so high that the students were at all times on
their toes meeting the standards placed before them. The first class graduated six young ladies.
Obstetrics had become on ever-present problem to these doctors so
Dr. Trout discussed at length the need and possibilities of an Obstetrical
Department here at Jefferson with Dr. Rolph Brown and persuaded him to
be head of the department.
Hugo, you know and so does everyone else, the lady who hos been
right in the middle of things at our switchboard, Miss Ella Stanley.
Dr. Trou t must hove been o frequent visitor out to Hollins College
for Miss Leonora Cocke become his wife. After her death he married Miss
Alice Green, a chemistry teacher of Hollins.
1914 found the hospital with open-air porches.
Moy, 1918, Dr. Trout and Dr. Jones enlisted in the armed serv ice of
our country. Dr. Trout served in the mobile unit up at the front lines.
On his discharge papers, it reod-"Lt. Col. Hugh H. Trout, Medical Corps
and Chief Surgeon, Base Hospital No. 1, A. E. F."
During the first world war the hospital stayed open L1ntil the last patient
�CLASS OF 1928
was discharged. The student nurses were sent to t he W oma n's H ospita l,
Bal timore, Maryland.
Mr. M. B. Dan iels and fom i ly moved to the second f loo r t o Iive, unti I
Februa ry, 1919. Mrs. T rout and her three c h ild ren m oved to H ollins to live.
H ugo, the fi rs t in Pediatrics and to es tablish the fifth hall wa s Dr.
Roger Haro ld Du Bose. H e was born in Dor l ington, South Carol ino on October
31, 1891.
He studied at the Medical . Co llege of Virginia, ofte r serving as a
Lieu tenant in the Novy in W o rld War I. Dr. DuBose studied under Dr.
Charles Gilmo re Ke rley, a Pediatr itian in New York City, and then come
to Roanoke in 1922 whe re h e s tayed unti I his d ea th in 1956 .
"Let's go fish ing" was the typical g reet ing as he would walk in to a
patient's room . It was said of him tha t , " N o n ight was t oo dork, s tormy or
cold for him to go to his pat ient s."
Dr. DuBose taught student nurses here at Jefferson for f ifteen years.
I have heard this many times about h im and it was so true, "He loved peop le, animals, and family, 'but above all he loved hi s profess io n."
�I om distressed that I cannot pay ind ividual respect and give credit
where it is due to each individual doctor. I wont you to know them a ll ,
Hugo, but it seems nea r imposs ible to tell you of each and what he did.
The laboratory is a busy place today. Let us stop and learn of the man
that started it all. A man who was we ll tra ined and an excellent representative
of his fierd set the laboratory on its feet-Dr. Knowlton T homas Redfield.
Dr. Lawson knows many stories about this man, Dr. Redfie ld. He can
tell you about Dr. Redfie ld and his services in the Bose 6 Hospital in France
being assoc iated with Dr. Poul White and Dr. Aub.
In 1923, Dr. Redf ield with h is year-old daughter, drove fro m South
Dakota to Bedford, Vi rginia, to visit his sick wife. While there Dr. Lawson
invited him to see Dr. Trout and discuss the possibility of o lob opening at
Jefferson. Dr. Redf ield was appointed A ugust 1, 1923 , through Dr . Trout,
Dr. Lawson and Dr. Jackson.
Dr. Trout dec ided in 1927 that we needed a Superintendent at Jefferson
and asked Dr. Redf ield to try to handle this, too. Thi s he did and was Admini stra tor unt il 1934. He was then Director of the Laboratory until his
retirement in 1940. Hugo, o great person still lives at Pork.dole Drive in
�CLASS OF
1936
Solem, Virginia. You must visit him for he con t ell you so much.
Dr. Horry B. Stone came to Roanoke in 1913 . He was the first specialist in Eye, Ear, Nose and Throa t. Another first in Roanoke wa s Dr. Hayword
Wescott, Orthopedic Surgeon - first to put o pin in a broken hip.
Hugo, I know ofter being surrounded by medical peop le all your life,
you must have found yourself reading books written by Dr. Frank Slaughter.
It may surprise you that he was a resident here at our hospital and married
one of the student nurses.
You know the patient I remember as the most typical patient is Mrs.
CLASS OF 1937
�CLASS OF 1942
Etzler. Each doctor or nurse is heard to soy, "she was the first patient I
specioled as a student" o r "she was he re when I come as on intern. " Hugo,
she hos been a remarkable person and as I write this, she is a patient in
Jefferson.
Miss Ello Stanley is on institution to many people. There are few who
come through the hospital that do not look forward to seeing her and talking
of former days. Mrs . Bowles is another to whom we must pay our respect. Her
patience and understanding has always he lped the doctors, nurses and
patients.
My son, this could go on and you would possibly hove enough history
to hove a large volume; however, space and time prevents this.
These people are only a small percentage who hove led the way to
make this a desirable place in which to work, to come to in time of s ickness
and distress.
Love to you,
Moc

Somewhere in Fronce
My Dear Friends:
Often think of you young ladi es and wha t you a 11 m ean t to us in Roanoke and, as often, wo nder if yo u wou ld ob ject t o h e aring from us and of
what we ore doing, for I, personally, hove always f e lt as if we were port of
o ne large fomily and, fo r th is reason, om concei t e d enough to hope you will
find th is letter not unwelcomed .
As you may recoil we ore port of on o rganization coiled the m obi le
operating Unit No. 1, which consists o f 62 medical office rs, SO nu rses (and
how I do long for M iss Tinsley and many o f you'), 2 62 enlisted men-these
lost serving os orderlies, m echanics, ambulance drivers, etc . The function of
the o rgan ization is to go from one place to anothe r , just depending o n how
busy the various fronts happen to be-?nd attach ourselves t o som e h ospital
-either evacuat ion or field and some times, o base. We s t ay and h e lp unti l
the "push" is over in that particular local ity and "pick up OLJr tents and move"
to the next busy p lace. A s you m ay recall I om wha t is kno wn as Su rgical
Director and still hove Dr . Jones (now Cap t .) as m v Assistant Su rgical Di rector. Also hove Ors. Wolfe and Speed with me .
While waiting for ou r outfit to arrive from Am erica, we-the whole
o rganization-hos been divided into 20 operating teams and sen t t o va r ious
evacuation and field hospitals . Dr J ones hos one team and I hove another,
but we ore and hove been together and om glad to soy, think we will continue that way for some weeks yet.
.
It has been ou r good luck to hove worl<ed 1n the various h ospi tals fairly
near th e front , and going fro m one end to the othe r of th e en tire Wes tern
Fro nt, w ith the exception of that port he ld by the En glis h .
The re is mo re than o plenty o f wo rk to do h e re and fo r that reason, I am
g lad I am here, though , frankl y, I am very h o mesick -no t o n ly to r my wife
and kidlets, but also fo r the J effe rson and every thing and everybody associated with it. I hope thi s war will be over long before any of you g radua te ,
but, if it is no t, you all will be needed over here and my opin ion now is
�-. -
everyone who is physically able should be here, regardless of desires, etc.,
personal or otherwise. We have less idea about the termination of thi s war
than you people at home, but I don't see how it con. end anytime soon and
thi~, in spite of the fact we ore at lost beginning to beat the Boche. We all
believe this is the beginning of the end- but how long the end is off we
hove not the slightest idea.
One of the hardest things I ever hod to do in my life was to close our
hospital, but I om sure every one of you would not hove it otherwise, for I
om certain each of you desire to do your port in this war and giving up your
Roanoke home is one of the ways in which you could and did help. Am sure
by this time you hove all "fallen in love" with Miss Sampson and am equally
certain you ore obtaining on excellent trair.ing. However, when this war is
over, whether you hove graduated or not, I wont you all to return to Roanoke.
If you hove graduated I'll try to give you enough work to do to keep you
busy and if you hove not, we will toke up your training just where it ceases
in Baltimore. Feel your time in Baltimore is being well spent and trust each
one of you will be as happy there as I was during my seven years in that
city. The nurses here have a very hard time, but really seem to enjoy the
excitement and everything except the Boche's visits on moonlight nights,
when he "comes over" to drop a bomb or two. As yet we have not been
h it but some of the hospitals in which we have worked hove been. It rains
o lot here and is cold most of the time. In fact, we hove never hod anything
like this weathe r in Roanoke and it is hard to describe. Trust you will be
able to read this letter but om afraid you will hove your troubl es doing it, as
I always did write badly and having had Miss Callahan to do all my writing
for the post few years hos not added t oward making my writing any better.
Howeve r, I did wont each one of you to know we think of you often and I
sincerely hope the day is not for distant when we con all return ho me .
W ith the very warmest personal regards to each one of you and hoping
if there is ever anything I can do for you, you will remember I always hope
to be
Your sincere friend,
Hugh H. Trout

�Dearest Hugo:
Hasn't it been fun to see a little of the past. I wi II try to tel I you a
little of these years 1918-1938. It con only be a little because of space.
And what a long span of time .
In cutting this down to size, I find myself leaning more and more to
doing a story of the man. He was the father-the head. This was the pattern
of the day also-everything hod its head-family, hospital, business, church
and government.
The growth of the hospital come from the growth of the man; his
constant association with men at the top of the profession . There were many
lean years.
The form that started out to be a family summer retreat become a
farm to produce for the hospital.
There was one interesting story, I must tell you. Remember we said
Dr. Lawson hod a head to contrive: This happened Morch 30, 1930.
We will go bock for a little background. Dr. Lawson hod always been
interested in yellow fever and its cure. Hod done much research. He hod
heard about a Doctor Cook that was with Doctor Reed in Panama, hod interviewed him and he and Mrs. Lawson invited him over to be their guest.
Planned or happened it fell on the night of Morch 30, 1930. This night Dr.
Howard A Kelley, one of the great five at Hopkins, was visiting Dr. Trout to
speak at Christ Church (he was a very religious man). After his talk at
Christ Church, he visited the staff at Jefferson . In the midst of this meeting
Dr. Lawson introduced Dr. Cook. It turned out to be quite on evening. Dr.
Cook more or less had the floor and Dr. Kelley enjoyed all that was said.
Dr. Cook had done most of the work on yellow fever.
What does this hove to do with the history of the hospital and the
nurses? These are just samples of why it grew and why it was unique in
its progress.
There were many interns during this period that were and are outstanding men in the profession . Some hove become writers, researchers and
specialists.
During this "season" of hospital history-about 1923-up until this
dote we had done lob work with the doctors themselves. They were getting
too busy to keep on. (This process we call growth comes from necessity.)
Dr. La_wson knew of a young man that was so determined to be the best
bacteriologist he investigated all schools, finally decided to take the best
course by graduating in veterinary medicine.
Dr. Knowlton Thomas Redfield-someday I will tell you of Dr. Redfield's trip from Minnesota to Roanoke by himself with a year-old daughter
�(his wife was already in Bedford). He served in Fronce during World War I
with Dr. Poul White and Dr. Aub. He become superintendent of the hospital.
He served from 1927 until 1934. He directed the laboratory until his retirement in 1940.
Perhaps a word about one representative patient-the Etzler family
hove been constant patients in our hospital home. Mrs. Etzler was the
mother of many children. Mrs. Huddleston "Mo" as we affectionately coll
her (she is the one that should be writing this), tells us her first patient was
Mrs. Etzler, one of the most remarkable people she hod ever known. Those
of us that hove lived here know of them, especially of her son, John. Still
at a very old age Mrs. Etzler is a patient in the hospital. Our hospital con
be proud of our record-as a haven of friendliness and home. "Come unto
tne . . . and ye shall find rest."
The re ore a few points I wont to touch on of this period .
The hospi tal gave a dinner and program for Dr. Trout on the 25th
anniversary of the hospital. Dr. Trout did not know they were doing this.
On the afternoon of the dinner t hat night, he took Miss Christman (now
Mrs. Welsh) and went to make a coll on the new superintendent of nurses
of the Roanoke Hospital. This was one of his habits-there must always be
unity.
On returning to the hospital and putting his car in the garage, closing
the door of the garage, he turned to Mrs. Welsh and said, "Where hove I
foiled? What hove I done wrong?" The often quoted words of o big monsel f-appro isol.
1933-The 25th Anniversary-must tell you more of this. That night
his long-beloved friend Dr. Finney sa id this of him-quote:
.
"In addition to his personal charm, his professional ability h?s ranked
him high among his fellow surgeons. His contributions to the science and
art of surgery hove stomped him as o leader in his profession.
.
"The community in which he lives, his patients and many friends do
we ll to h ono r themselves in honoring him."
Hugo, there is such a vast lot left out. There is so much to soy. I hope
you hove caught a little of the thrill of th is growth of Dr. Trout and his nurses.
If I would touch on the home life it would be of the man rather than
the hospital .
Toke core of your heritage and preserve it whether you ore doctor,
nurse or patient.
Hugo, I send love to you, the post keeper of a new age.
Sincerely,
Moc
Our first World War II casualty

In 1949, the Jefferson Hospi ta l Student Nurses began affi liating at Chestnut Lodge in Rockville,
Maryland, for three m onths of Psychiatric training.
In c lasses of Basic Psychiatry, Practical Psychiatry, Sociology, Psychology, and Psychiatry applied to
genera l nurs ing, we are taught personality traits, psycho-therapy, electric shock therapy, insulin shock
therapy and genera lly what we may expect and what may be expected of us in ou r relationship with the

The Religious Fellowship Organization
was founded November 17, 1952. Officers were elected and a Constitution
drawn up.
The a im of the organization is to
create a desire in every student nurse
for the development of a deeper spiritual
life, emphasizing the need for daily devotion, affiliating with a church of their
choice, and to attend and participate in
its activities as often as possible; to confer with OLlr chaplain on any personal
or religious problem at any time.

�T his article was written in Mrs. Sublett's college Bulletin and I know
you will all want to read the article written about the woman for whom
"The Anne Sublett Memorial Fund" was set up.
DEAN ACADEMY AND JUNIOR COLLEGE BULLETIN-MAY, 1958
In ou r last issue we asked for the address of Anne Nystrom. Two of
he r classmates responded with her correct name and addres?, but before
that Marion (Ebbetts) Archibald, who had moved to Arlington, Virginia, only
a few weeks before, noted Anne's death in a newspaper. She hod passed
her 30th birthday only by two weeks when death claimed her as a victim
of cancer. She had been taken ill in October, suffering from p very rare
type of cancer which had not been found in one of her age or sex in this
country. Although surgery was performed which was considered a medical
feat in the field of medic ine, it was not successful in arresting the trouble,
and from the latter part of December he r case was hope less. Not only did
she consent to radica l post-mortem procedures for medica l study, but also
donated her eyes which were transplanted in two separate individuals in
New York within 72 hou rs of her death. Because of her unselfish sacrifice
and the courageous battle which she put up and the b ri 1liant attempt by
the doctors in the hospital to save her, her husband, James Ira Sublett,
has established the Anne Sublett Memoria l Fund fo r Jefferson H ospital in
Roanoke, Virginia, which will go towards a new building program in her name.
After leaving Deon, Anne Nystrom stud ied at Bryn Mawr, but then
went to Europe, traveling with her parents, Colonel and Mrs. Luther F. Cobb,
Jr., fo r four years. Eventually she accepted a civilian job with the Air Force
in Germany. It was here she met Mr. Sublett and their marriage took place
at Stuttgart Morch 1, 1952. Returning to the United States, they made their
home at Radford, Virginia. At the time of her death, their residence was
at 1728 Grondin Road, S. W ., Roanoke . Two sons were born to them,
James Edward, on January 6, 1956; and Charles Nystrom, o n Augus t 29,
1957, exactly five months p rior to her death on January 29, 1958. Mr.
Sublett is finishing his work for a Maste r's Degree in Hospital Admini s tration
at Jefferson Hospital. He and Mrs. Sub lett were very active in community
affairs and organizations of the Episcopa l Church. Anne Nystrom at Deon
~~s the personification of joyous living; she loved life to the fullest and
it is more than difficult to believe that this vibrant person is no more. She had
the desi re to live and to learn while living, and her last gesture was a completely sel fless one to do something for o thers that they might live . We
bow ou r heads in appreciation for thi;; nob le character; in her short span
of years she fulfilled a long time. Our deepest sympathy goes out to her
husband, her parents and a sister, but our greatest sadness is centered upon
her two sons who will never hove known their mother. We hope somehow
that eventually they will know and understand that s he was o woman o f
whom they should be very proud as all who knew Anne Nystrom Sublett o re
proud of her.

REALIZATION
1940-1958
DEAR HUGO :
.
W"!, the Year Book Stoff, have through our research found much more
interesting history than we could ever put in these pages. We hove taken
on ideal from Dr. Luke who wrote much of "The Birth of Christ''-little of
" T he Growing Up of Christ the Mon" and lef t quiet t houghts for each of
us for development and growth in the future .
1940 began to bring d iscourageme nt and discontent througho ut the
world.
All of us at Jefferson Hospital were touched personally-physically,
mentally and spiritually.
It was through the vision o f o ur own Jefferson Hospital, that the sho rtage
of nurses be met through orientating the inactive nurses throughout o ur
o wn area as well as the United States.
Mrs. Chi ldress and Mrs. Welsh were instrumental in thi s program being a
success. Through this program, Mrs. Welsh, Mrs. Childress, Mrs. Holton
and Mrs. Pyboss ore with us now.
The death of Dr. Trout was a great tragedy to the Hosp ital and to many
friends who knew and loved him, The father hod left his children, the nurses,
who he always re ferred to as "my girls". He left his ambitions, his love, his
vision-all of th is he hod for his hospital, his doctors and his nurses, personal
feelings a s father for his family.
He hod obtained professional recognition throughout his country. He
hod won the eternal respect from his pupils. As life does change, as one
member of a family goes arid a new generation tokes over, so our hospital
home hos changed in step with present t rends.
There was a big load left upon the two sons, Hugh H. Trout, Jr., general
su rgeon, and Phillip Trout, the orthopedic surgeon.
The father -son teams ore inspiring-we hove several representatives on
ou r staff. But we ore no longer o family c lose knit, se lfish and proud; we
hove grown in responsibility to where we ore a port of the wo rld . It is through
this period that we opened our doors to ou r neighboring country, Mexico.
Dr. Castro was ou r first intern. Since that time we hove hod with us men
and women from India, Germany, Turkey, Korea, Mexico and Colombia,
South America .
The adjustment of different cultures and languages hove been trying at
t imes for doctors patients, nurses and oil personnel, but we hove managed
to beco me closer 'together through exchanging customs, ideals and purposes
o f medicine.
The greatest change o f this period hos been the tremendous growth in
o ur ability to combat fatal diseases. Strictly outstanding in the State
of Virginia hos been the tremendous drop from 36
to . 6 ~(. mo rtality rote
o f the pregnant mo ther. A great deal of this is due to the intensive work
of one of our o wn modest physicians. He was the first obstetrician and
gyneco log ist to hove his full intern wo rk in SL1 rge ry 1 o bstetrics and gynecology,
Dr. A . M Groseclose He come to Roanoke after his last year o f interning
at M cGill in M ont real, Canada, to do o bste tri cs alone . Dr Brown and Dr.
Hurt were do ing obstetrics along with the ir o ther practice.
Up unt1 I now, surgery, eye, ear, nose and throat medicine hod been
the o nly maj o r specia lities All gene ral practi tione rs, mid-wives ond grannies
were delivering babies The o ld adage, " What was good enough for my
1
'(
�grandmother, is good enough for me" and "Babies have been born since the
time of creation, why tlo we need a specialist" hod to be broken down. Dr.
Williams, Professor of Obstetrics and Dean of Johns Hopkins Medico I School,
hod left a greater impression upon his pupils . T he importance of maternal
core before, during and ofter labor, through the face of adversity hod to be
met. Dr. Groseclose worked closely with M . Pierce Rucker of Richmond,
Dr. T. J . Andrews of Norfolk, Dr. .Tiff Williams of Charlottesville, Dr.
Plunkett of Lynchburg .
After many months of work and study, Maternal Welfare and Well
Baby Clinics become a port of the Health Deportment of Vi rginio .
The need for Neurosurgery as a field is relatively new but hos developed
rapidly to a high level and we ore more than fortunate in Roanoke to hove
such men as Dr. Tice and Dr. Weaver.
Here at Jefferson, the interns were transferred to a separate building
and their old quarters mode into a Neurosurgicol word .
Our X-ray deportment grew and we hove seen the develo pment from
a small machine in the hall, to private practice, to partnership, to clinics.
We now hove Orthopedic Clinic, Jefferson Surgical Clini c, Pediatric
Clin ic and others going up through our community, c hang ing the attitude of
the patient from my doctor to my clinic.
The antibiotics and sulfas have caused o tremendous change in our
bedside nursing . The surgical patient no longer remains in bed as Mr.
Mortin did, but is up at liberty.
Blood transfusions ore no longer given direct ly fro m a nurse or doctor
standing by to the ill patient as a last reso rt but is used now almost as o
preventive cure. Per day as we give transfusio ns, we ore reminded of the
important part our own d.octors hove hod in this, Dr. Trout doing the first
blood counts, to determine acute appendix-Dr. Lawson doing the first
visible drip or as we know it the Murphy Drip.
Dr. and Mrs. Horry B. Stone, Sr. hove just recent ly celebrated their
SOth Anniversary . They hod their attendants , children and grandchildren
to the party. I would like to see the celebrat ion of the SOth anniversary of
our hospital . The porks, town would be full if each baby b o rn , each patient,
doctor, nurse and all who hove touched the h ospi tal wo uld return .
Hugo, it makes us proud to be just a small port o f the who le .
Deares t love,
Mac
�HOPE
1958 TO THE FUTURE
MY DEAREST HUGO:
It is possible to go on for hours and days when you talk of the past,
the present and the future . Life hos a way of setting its own pace. This will
be my lost letter to you for a while. T he termination of all th ings with us,
that are older, but you, the youth, hold the answer to many of our questions.
.
Severa l weeks ago one afternoon as if by prayer, the ending note was
given .me. Our student in training of Hospi tal Management, told me of h is
beautiful young wife, mother of two little boys, on examination 6 weeks ofter
her la~t son was born, all seemed to 'be well . Suddenly one night she was
token ill, brought into the hospital. It was found on surgery that she hod o
very rare type of cancer. The doctors and nurses did everything they could
possi?ly do-operations, core, love-that was not enough. Her life was
terminated last January, 1958. The family felt rather than flowers they
would to ke the some amount of money and give perhaps on instrument to t he
~ospitol that would help. As the fund grew they kn~w it was bigger than
Just that. $800 was the total. The money hos been turned ove r to a Memorial
Fund, now, and we hove the first seed to our much needed new wing. The
Anne Sublett Memorial Fund.
.
The writing of these letters to you must cease for o wh ile . On examinat ion fo r o trip the other day, we hove found also the writer hos cancer and
treatments must start. T his, I feel, is in God 's pion. We know so much
about so many diseases. Some we used to see ore distinct. Others ore
becoming more p revalent.
Yes, my son, th is I leave with you. There is a green field for re search; a greater need for a hospital home where more of us that need
loving medical, su rgical, and obst etrical care con come. Ours is a visionary
research, interested insti tution to be loved, treated and cored for.
This, I think, is God's will. I, too, ofter months o f research, know what
it will be like to be able to soy, "I have cancer" and not be afraid. I know
the cure of all cance r is within our reach-maybe t~rough you.
God b less and keep you-it hos been g reat fu n talking to you in this
manner.
. . I love you dearly because I have been able to shore with you those
1nt1mote moments.
The future is yours and all youths. I will be watching and praying
for you. Great is and wi ll be the adventure in medicine in the next 50 years.
There ore still many firsts to be accomplished.
W ith all my love,
Moc

Jefferson Hospital School of Nursing
Description
An account of the resource
In 1907, Dr. Hugh Trout founded Jefferson Hospital, a small, 40-bed hospital named in honor and memory of Thomas Jefferson.
Dr. Trout soon found that the need for adequately trained nurses in the area far surpassed those available. In an effort to alleviate the shortage, he established the Jefferson Hospital School of Nursing. The school opened its doors in 1914, with an initial class of six students. All six completed the 33-month training program and graduated in 1917. A self-study following the first graduation concluded that the school exceeded the Standard Curriculum for Schools of Nursing, published by the National League for Nursing Education. The school earned approval from the American College of Surgeons and the American Medical Association in 1923, and was recognized by the American Hospital Association in 1926. Between 1914 and 1965, Jefferson Hospital School of Nursing trained 658 new nurses, most of whom stayed within the community upon graduation.
