"In 1905, the McDaniels deeded their house at the end of East Gordon Street to James M. and W.T. Parrott, brothers and physicians [deed book 30, p.427; and Heritage, p.339]. The deed agreement stipulated that the Parrotts would "equip and maintain a hospital [in the house] for the treatment of medical and surgical cases" [deed book 30, p.427]. The hospital was to be called the Robert Bruce McDaniel Memorial Hospital in memory of a McDaniel son who had died in infancy. In addition to admitting private patients, the Parrotts were to set up wards to provide care for indigent white medical and surgical patients and "indigent colored patients such as are known in the medical profession as emergency accident cases" [deed book 30, p.427]. Other covenants in the deed provided for the house to be moved from the western to the eastern end of the 1.9-acre tract with the remaining area "...to be kept open for a public park..." [deed book 30, p.427]. This is said to have been the "first regular and fully staffed hospital in Kinston," and a great boon to the community [Heritage, p.61]."

Newspaper Clippings

As her children, grandchildren, freinds and distant relations can attest, Grandmother loved reading the newspaper cover-to-cover, and clipping articles, recipes, editorials. Receieving a manila envelope from her - bursting with newspaper clippings - was a regular occurrence. She would cut-out articles and photocopy them so that she could send them off in different directions.

Below are a selection of clippings from the same location as the rest of the photos on the blog. Enjoy!

Mostly-handwritten notes on family

So far, everything on this blog came from one place; the second drawer of the chest in the living room. That is also the case with these mostly-handwritten notes about Grandmother's family. There also scans of photocopies from a family bible, scans of photocopies of articles and an anniversary invitation.
