Hall Maternity Hospital Waukon, Allamakee co. Iowa |
Hall Maternity Hospital, E. Main St., Waukon
| I ran across this picture I took several years back, don’t remember the year. It was called the Hall House & it was used as a maternity hospital years ago. My 3 oldest siblings were born there ca: 1930’s. I don’t know how long it was in use prior or after that time. The house sustained fire damage & was scheduled for demolition so I made a trip to town to get the picture of it before it was torn down...... Jan Warner, May 2011 |

known to all as the "Hall Maternity Hospital,"
has been purchased from the heirs by Mrs. Thomas Hall of
this city, who will continue to conduct a maternity
hospital. The building, a spacious edifice, was erected
about forty years ago by John Eddy, a pioneer Waukon
resident, and purchased by Mrs. James Hall about twenty
years ago. She continued to reside there up to the time
of her death, about seven years ago, at which time Mrs.
Thomas Hall opened up Waukon's first maternity hospital. ~*~*~ Mrs. Catherine Hall is recovering from
burns she received the past week when she was drenched
with a boiler of hot suds, related the Waukon
Democrat. It was wash day at the maternity hospital
and Mrs. Hall had assisted in taking a boiler of hot suds
from the stove to empty into a tub. The boiler slipped
out of her hand and the boiling contents struck both
knees, a foot and her left hand, inflicting deep and
painful burns from which she has suffered intensely. ~*~*~ Waukon, Ia. - Mrs. Catherine Hall, who has operated the Hall Maternity Hospital here the past 16 years, has leased the business to Mr. and Mrs. C.C. Stults of Rochester, Minn. ~Dubuque Telegraph-Herald, March 14, 1938 ~*~*~ Waukon, Ia. - the former Hall Maternity Hospital, on East Main Street, has been leased by the city hospital trustees for use as a city hospital and will be known as the Waukon Emergency Hospital. It will be used until labor and material will be available for the construction of a new hospital, funds for which will be obtained through a bond issue recently voted in a municipal election. Mrs. Catherine Hall will be business manager and Mrs. George Hall will be superintendent of nurses. The hospital will be open to receive patients Thursday, May 4. ~Dubuque Telegraph-Herald, April 28, 1944 |
