P.Early history of the founding and development of Holy Rosary Parish in Moxee, WA.Item Saint Elizabeth Hospital Yakima, Washington 1891-1950 (part 2).(UNKNOWN, 1951) Duggar, Anna Clare, Sister F. C. S. P."The year, 1918, will be memorable for many reasons, but particularly two outstanding ones: the termination of Word War, 1, and the terrible Spanish Influenza Epidemic. In the early days of October, the 'flu' made its appearance in the Valley. By the fifteenth of the month, it had made such rapid progress that it was soon evident that an emergency hospital would have to be established. Extra beds were put in the hall or in any place that could accommodate one. No patient was refused as long as a bed was available. Some of the victims lived only long enough to receive the Last Sacraments. These were harrowing days for everyone."Item Saint Elizabeth Hospital Yakima, Washington 1891-1950 (part 3).(UNKNOWN, 1951) Duggar, Anna Clare, Sister F. C. S. P."Fire, which is always dreaded, especially in a hospital broke out October 4, 1938, in the clothes chute at about seven-thirty in the morning. It had been smoldering for some time before it was discovered. The efficient City Fire Department soon had it under control. The damage caused by the fire and the water compelled a removal of patients to another part of the hospital. But by noon all was running normally again. The general comment was, 'Thank God, it was not during the night.'"Item Saint Elizabeth Hospital Yakima, Washington 1891-1950 (part 4).(UNKNOWN, 1951) Duggar, Anna Clare, Sister F. C. S. P."The following account of the ceremony of dedication is taken from the Yakima Daily Republic of that city; 'Ceremonies and addresses yesterday at the formal dedication of the new Saint Elizabeth Hospital were attended by a throng of people. The crush in the three halls was so great that many did not even attempt to hear the address and devoted the time to viewing the magnificent building and its facilities for caring for the sick and injured."Item Saint Elizabeth Hospital Yakima, Washington 1891-1950.(UNKNOWN, 1950) Duggar, Anna Clare, Sister F. C. S. P."That the lack of rainfall could be indirectly responsible for the opening of a hospital seems incongruous, yet this was the case in the Yakima Valley. The lack of rain in the valley compelled the farmers to resort to irrigation projects. The irrigation projects gave rise to yearly scourges of typhoid fever; these yearly epidemics in their turn gave rise to the demand for a hospital. The Sisters of Providence already installed in Yakima were requested, in 1891, to open one because of the increased danger resulting from the epidemics in the surrounding country."Item St. Joseph's Academy Yakima, Washington 1875-1950 (part 2).(UNKNOWN, 1951) Duggar, Anna Clare, Sister F. C. S. P."On March 24, 1892, a real tragedy overtook the school A sister had taken the children for a walk; on the way some of them ate wild parsnips. Before they could be gotten home, or help brought to them two died. Three more succumbed during the night. This trial was followed by another. Father Laure, S. J. who had been in charge of the Indian mission, died on December 19, 1892. The priest who was appointed by his community to replace Father Laure was not acceptable to the government officials."Item St. Joseph's Academy Yakima, Washington 1875-1950.(UNKNOWN, 1951) Duggar, Anna Clare, Sister F. C. S. P."In the spring of 1871, Father Caruana, S. J., was named by his superiors to take over the management of the Mission of Saint Joseph at Ahtanum. Four years of labor among the settlers and the Indians convinced Father that if the Faith was to be preserved for the future generations a Catholic school was imperative. The adult white population was completely indifferent to the things of religion. The only way seemed to be to train the children who in turn would carry into the home the faith and example of a Christian education."
