Miss Nellie Chapman and Miss Annie Swinskey, enrolled Red Cross nurses,
have taken an active part in the Texas Branch Red Cross work ever since
this Branch was organized. They are both most popular and efficient
nurses, receiving calls from the doctors all over the State to take
charge of difficult cases, but busy as both of these nurses are, they are
both so loyal to the Texas Branch that unselfishly, for it means a large
pecuniary loss, they have always been ready and willing to work actively
for the good of humanity and the upbuilding of the Red Cross whenever
needed. They again had charge of the Red Cross Emergency Hospital during
the State fair in October. This hospital was thoroughly equipped with the
latest surgical appliances, wards for men and women and reception and
rest room. The Red Cross during these fairs has been a popular feature,
and all of the leading doctors take great pride in it and willingly give
their services when required.
