"This picture was taken by OTL [Oliver Tracy Logan] one day after the kids had followed him in to the hospital compound. From 'Little Stories of China,' pp.68-69: "Dr. Logan loved children, and whenever he went from the first hospital...to the new one...3 blocks away, he would have a crowd of them following him and laughing and telling him, "Walk funny, Doctor, so we can laugh." The day he went down the street in his casket...the mothers and children were weeping in the doorways and crying, "We won't have anyone to make us laugh if you take our Doctor away."'" Captions for this set of lantern slides from the papers of Oliver and Jennie Logan, American Presbyterian missionaries in Hunan, were provided by their daughter Elsa.
