Description
Pictured here, in circa 1916, is a group of nurses standing in front of the White Hospital at the northeast corner of Twenty-Ninth and J Streets. Pictured, in no particular order, are Ella Peacock, Alma Herndon, Ida Farrell, Elizabeth Hall, Martha Gerald, Florence Knobel, Olive Burch, Pearl Curry, Ms. McGinnity, and Ms. McCormack. The hospital was well known for its training of nurses with its White Hospital Training School, where it maintained a class of roughly twenty nurses at any given time for training. In its short thirteen-year history, the school could claim alumna in many parts of California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada and as far away as Chicago, Illinois. As the decades went forth, it was common for class reunions to be held in Sacramento, the last being in 1934 at the Paris Inn.
