Health Care Costs, 1919 (and More)

A few stories on this page from the Hobart Gazette of October 3, 1919 — first, doctors' fees have gone up a bit since 1907.

Then we have the marriage of 19-year-old Martha Mackey to 21-year-old Donald B. Gilger (ages per the 1920 Census. It is not surprising that Lee & Rhodes employed Martha, since her sister Helen was Mrs. Rhodes.

And last but not least, a story about one of the orphan boys adopted by William and Minnie Springman, who had done his foster parents proud.

Doctors' fees etc.
