Deanna Carter, Mavis Sommers and Lori Boersig are excited about the new display they are creating
for the Cy Hall Memorial Museum season opening this weekend. It's a collection donated by the
family of Wilbur Batson, the late Indian Valley Hospital founder and Iongtime family doctor.
Our respect and gratitude will
forever be with our fallen military
heroes and their families. That
service and sacrifice are beyond
measure and we will never
forget their dedication to our
country and our freedom.
Thank You!
Have a Safe Memorial Day!

The Dr. Wilbur Batson sto-
ry will be told this year at the
Greenville Cy Hall Memorial
Museum, where an album
with a list of more than 1,000
local babies he delivered will
be on display, as wel as pho-
tos of many of the nurses who
worked with him.
The museum will open
Saturday, May 28, 1 - 4 p.m.
For the rest of the summer
season, the hours will be
Wednesdays and Saturdays
from 1 - 4 p.m. More days
and hours will be added if
additional docents become
available.
For more information, call
the Indian Valley Chamber of
Commerce at 284-6633.
The first baby on the Doc
Batson list is James Wesley
Russel, Greenville resident
Pat Norberg's brother.
Other surnames of the first
local babies he delivered were
Stampfli, Davis, Gray, Dol-
phin, Sorsoli and Johnson.
The album was compiled 40
years ago by two of his nurs-
es, Greenville Soroptimist
Helga Young and Taylorsville
Parents Club representative
Barbara Buekner.
Almost 500 people attended
the party for him Aug. 8, 1971,
and the newspaper account of
it was saved via a special
press plate, also donated for
the museum display.
Several of the people at-
tending added notes to the al-
bum, including information
on marriages, children and
new hometowns.
Other items that will be on
display include original
equipment from the hospital,
such as antiseptic bottles,
surgical and examination im-
plements and a centrifuge.
Of special significance is
the microscope, a huge invest-
ment at a time when doctors
still did their own lab work. •
