Hospital plan backs ground donation by city in Waterloo
In 1907 Waterloo residents weigh a Franciscan Sisters hospital proposal from St Louis. Franciscan Sisters offer to build a hospital if about ten acres are donated and $30,000 raised, with city streetcar support and utilities. The effort gains Archbishop Keane's blessing though staffing for a new hospital proves complex. Meanwhile, police handle two Farley brothers, aged 10 and 12, taken from Des Moines. Their mother, Mrs. Thomas Farley, seeks custody as she struggles after her husband left. The brothers await placement near Waterloo.
