Former Nursing Home
205 Park St.

As the towns grew and medical services became more organized, many country women preferred to be nearer the doctors, especially in the winter time. Some people established small nursing homes which were available not only for births but for looking after other patients who needed special nursing and frequent medical attention, and sometimes even surgical cases needing operations. In Killarney and district: Mrs. Dan Forster, Mrs. Somerville, Mrs. Burrows, Mrs. Elsie (Fred) Agar, Mrs. Mabel (Jack) Rigby, Mrs. Lou (Jack) Ross, Mrs. Mabel Hardern, and Mrs. Isabel Firby whose nursing home was in operation until the hospital opened.
