Q: Would William Booth Memorial Hospital, 130 W Grand Blvd. [[circa 1928) have anything to do with the Salvation Army?

As of 1928-29, 2201 E. Jefferson was listed as Jefferson Clinic and Diagnostic Hospital. I don't know if they used the same building. Also, Dr. Blain rests peacefully at Elmwood. I don't know his specialization, but evidently, he liked birds http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg...54260188&df=1&

If someone would pay us to do this, we could quit our "real" jobs & everything would be cherry!

Yes, the Booth Memorial Hosp. on W. Grand Blvd. was owned by the Salvation Army. SA Booth Memorial Hospitals primarily served unwed mothers with many locations across the Nation. My family took exception to the rule though when in Nov, 1957/58 my little sister Sue was born there. We lived across the street, Mom went into labor and no time to get her to a different hospital!
