An operation at Minneapolis City Hospital is shown; staff pictured from left to right are Nellie McKellup, Margaret Tucker, Dr. Schroeder, Isabel St. Clair, Dr. Jones, Dr. Goehrs, and Mrs. Mary Clyde.
Framed oval studio portrait with curved glass of Tena Hegland Johnson (1886-1975). The label on front of the hand-colored photograph reads, "Tina Johnson, nurse during World War 1." The label on the reverse reads: "Mrs. Tena Heglund Johnson, Fosston." Johnson served in the Army Nurse Corp in 1918 and was later a nurse at the Fosston Hospital.
The St. Cloud School of Nursing was built one block south of the hospital in 1945 with the help of federal funds. It included recreational, library and classroom facilities.
The nursing students of 1921 at St. Raphael's Hospital are shown in this photo with the ten Sister-nurses of the school's staff in row two identified from left to right: Sisters (1) Herberta Klein, (2) Cunegund Kuefler, (3) Borgia Knelleken, (4) Leobina Gliszhinski, (5) Julitta Hoppe, (6) Serena Bold, (8) Elizabeth Von Drehle, (9) Melitta Hoffman and (10) Ladislaus Twardowski.
Because Sister Borgia was willing to take on any task asked of her, she responded to Dr. Page E. Stangl's (pathologist) request to help him set up a laboratory of animals for research. She called herself the zoo-keeper and worked with this project in her quiet, unassuming way for 39 years--first in crowded conditions among the offices on 6th floor of the hospital and then in the seclusion of the sub-basement.
