Doctor Walkup Remembered In Coal Camp Anecdotes
Charles Evans recalls Dr W H Walkup of Mt Hope who served in coal camps for fifteen years before retirement six years ago. The physician’s tireless care included five home calls in one day for Evans’s critically ill son, who survived. Evans, now 65 and ill, notes camp houses were torn down and life changed as his family adapted with his son now supporting them. He also recalls Walkup treating 113 flu patients in 1918 and the tragedy of two deaths among those patients and an indifferent poll vote and hog feeding alike.
