<DIV>I just found this information: (I’m the one who commented that my
husband was born in a nursing home in Prineville....but maybe that’s just what
they told him and that it was really the Elkins House or maybe the Elkins House
was the nursing home.) </DIV>

face=Arial><FONT color=#333333 size=4>The first hospital in Prineville opened in
1912 in a house renamed Home Hospital. The next hospital, Maternity Hospital,
operated on the second floor of the Elkins house in the 1930s. In 1940 the
three-story Cornett House was converted to the Prineville General Hospital. The
Bowman Museum has a film of a patient being carried on a stretcher up a narrow
flight of stairs, maneuvered around a sharp corner, and up more stairs to the
patient rooms.</FONT></FONT></P>

face=Arial><FONT color=#333333 size=4>Maybe that patient was one of the citizens
who saw the need for a “modern” hospital that wasn’t in someone’s former home.
In 1948 a group of citizens raised money from the community of Prineville to
build Pioneer Memorial Hospital. It opened in 1950 and has served the community
ever since.</FONT></FONT></P>

<TD vAlign=top><FONT size=2 face=arial>I was going to jump into this
conversation with the suggestion it was highly unlikely Prineville would
have had a hospital, though since Cottage Grove and Coquille both had
hospitals I should have known better. I would still think odds are good
for home birth at that date. Or birthing clinic. I don't believe any of my
siblings were hospital born and I was born in a maternity home in '49. In
fact CG didn't get hospital births till something like '53.</FONT>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=arial><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=arial>It looks like Bend Bulletin and Central
Oregonian are about it for newspapers in the area. I found some tidbits on
Genealogy trails including lurid details on a shoot out in Prineville, but
nothing from those papers and Google doesn't seem to have either of
them.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=arial>Okay, here is a link to the Bulletin for
March 6 1919, nothing on the first page, and I need to take a break from
my puter so will let you brows Eugene, but beware, it is hard to stay on
topic when you browse these old papers, I have started to look for an obit
in old RG and ended up posting half a dozen articles on Facebook that had
nothing to do with what I was looking for and even getting totally
distracted by an obituary for someone I wasn't looking for.</FONT></DIV>
