Rare Dedication - In the Steps of St. Paul - Rich and Cowan 1st HC (1936)

Title: In the Steps of St. Paul

Author: H.V. Morton

Description: 1st HC (1936) - One of a Kind - Interesting dedication from Smith's Falls Nursing Associateion to Miss Amy Church. Amy Church of Smiths Falls is mentioned in records (specifically The Canadian Nurse, Volume 39, circa 1943) regarding a shortage of nurses and difficulty in transportation that prevented meetings. She may have been one of the nurses attending the Almonte Train wreck as the V39 document states "Miss  Amy  Church  of  Smiths  Falls  reports that  due  to  shortage  of  nurses  and  difficulty in  transportation,  no  meetings  have  been held.  However,  in  compliance  with  government regulations  a  hospital  unit  was  formed and,  at  the  time  of  the  Almonte  train  wreck, five  nurses  were  dispatched  with  all  possible speed  to  the  scene  of  disaster.  The  hospital immediately  prepared  for  an  influx  of patients  and  all  felt  they  could  carry  on more  efficiently  should  another  emergency arise."
