Wheeling Faces Charity Burden Over Sick Arrivals
The city of Wheeling and Ohio County confront a growing strain from sick and wounded arriving from surrounding towns. Hospitals and the Rim Grove county facility are overwhelmed, with no charitable provisions for non-residents. Officials warn that outsiders will soon be turned away or sent back, as private hospitals refuse charity cases. Daily notices list transient visitors and local residents among those staying at the McLure and nearby lodgings as the issue escalates.
