Middleport Hospital Plans Assured by Realty Deal
Howard J. Ewing, known as Howard the Trader, secured the Rathburn estate property to convert the former Rathburn home into a 20 room hospital clinic with modern fireproof construction, operating room and lab under AMA supervision. Meigs County needs a hospital, with post war support from the Pomeroy Chamber of Commerce. Ewing’s plan includes remodeling the large brick residence now housing Dr. Bolce and others, and work will begin once priorities are secured. He also purchased the adjoining three story Rathburn brick block and theretofore planned extensive remodeling after war limits are eased.
