St Joseph's Hospital was built during the year 1915, and formally dedicated in 1917. The building cost $85,000; of this sum,
the citizens of New Hampton donated about twenty thousand dollars, the balance being furnished by the organization under whose
direction the hospital is managed. This organization or society, is known as The Missionary Sisters, Servants of the Holy Ghost,
of Techny, Illinois. The hospital building is modern in every respect, with all the appointments and appliances required for sanitary and
scientific medical treatment and surgery. --The 1919 History of Chickasaw County, Volume 1, page 336 (This structure was razed many years ago and replaced with a completely new medical facility. Without the pictures that have preserved the memory of the old hospital, anyone born after the early 1960s would not know what the original hospital looked like.) |
