The Waterloo Associated Charities built a mobile hospital for Guy P. Wilson, a tuberculosis patient shunned by society and denied hospital care. Aretas J. Kepford, state tuberculosis lecturer, cites the case to push for a dedicated facility as legislators debate such an institution. Kepford praises Klingaman for the initiative and urges support to overcome barriers in caring for advanced TB patients.

Hospital on Wheels Highlights Black Hawk Charity Tale
A lengthy Iowa Chronicle recounts Supt. Klingaman's effort to shelter Tuberculosis patient Wilson in Black Hawk County. The improvised hospital wagon moved across sites, faced threats of arrest, and culminated in private hospitals while illustrating the county's cost and need for a state facility. Wilson, not a local, arrived from Independence and Canada after military service. The piece notes the financial burden and argues for a dedicated hospital.
