26 Comments on Old Rodger's Hospital in Searcy AR. A view from the past.
Great photo. If I had to guess, I would say the cars are from the 1940's. I can also remember when Doctors made house calls.
That was back when doctors cared. Now they are too busy to have time for people. This observation is based on how long patients have to sit in waiting rooms.
I think it's great what your doing! I find myself coming here to see and learn about the old Searcy.
Barbara, I did that photography class also. I still remember getting that white ribbon. I think my photography has improved since then though but I don't have the ribbons to go by any longer.
Dick, so stay tuned. I have lots more.
Marchel, isn't it nice that her photos are now treasures. Yours probably are too!
I'm loving these photos, Barbara. Where in the world did you get them all?
Barbara,
That is a great photo I remember getting my finger stitched up there. Dr Rodgers stitched it up for me. I was about 6 years old. Wasnt it a green color on the outside. Then about 1981 it was turned in to a spook house for charity that we went to. Ask Mary about that spook house she has a funny story on it. Anyway great post!!
Tinker
Elizabeth, friends are supplying them. I had some great ones emailed to me today. I'm glad you like them.
Tinker, thanks for telling me about your finger stitching. That was something you'll never forget! I don't remember the color and I don't remember a spook house being there. We'll let Mary straighten us out.
Barbara,
Mitzi was born in this hospital, it was a very spooky hospital to me.
Barbara, Great photos keep them coming I do so enjoy old photographs. These photos also help your town get some good exposure.
Mary, be sure Mitzi sees the photo of her birthplace!
Don, I'm pleased to continue putting up the oldies. Thanks for looking.
I used to work at Central Arkansas General Hospital, but before that I worked at the old White County Hospital. Dr. Rodgers Sr. was still alive at that time, and I really enjoyed the stories and the sites and sounds of the city then. I wish it could have remained like it was back then. Searcy is a great place to live and raise a family. I miss it so much! I am too far north and miss all my old friends in the Searcy Area. Thanks for the wonderful pictures.
Betty, thanks for commenting on my blog. Keep watching and perhaps I can show you some more of your old landmarks! If you have anything to share let me know and I may be able to post it on my blog also.
Wow! I was born at Rodgers Hospital in 1953 and Dr. Rodgers delivered me. My grandparents lived across the street. The picture had to be taken in their yard. Russ
Russell, the hospital was still operating when I got to Searcy in 1967. Is your old house still standing? The young girl who took this picture might have been a friend and in your yard!!
I was born in this hospital in 1953. I would like to get a picture of it and a photo of Dr Rodgers.
Jerry, just right click and save this picture. You may find others on these blogs that you want and that's fine with me. People have shared the pictures in appreciation of Searcy's history so I'm glad you've found them. Dr. Rodgers was in that Kiwanis picture, if you noticed.
Whit, tell your best friend that if he hears strange sounds in the night they may be friendly ghosts from the old hospital. LOL
