The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1901-07-27


VSI many of the suffering and
afflicted of the city be-
lievc should be immune from
care and trouble. There is one
woman whom all these unfor-
tunate ones would wish exempt
from ills of the flesh as well as
sorrows of the heart, for she has prob
ably done more TO alleviate pain, to
comfort the sick and the manned and
the poor than any other one person In
the community. Consequently when
the little people at the Lackawanna
hospital and the older sufferers, too,
who crowd the wards, heard that Mrs.
Willard was suffering with serious
sprain of the ankle which would ne
cessitate the use of crutches for weeks,
great was the lamentation.
Mrs. Willard is improving as rapidly
ms can be expected and it is hoped now
that her accident will not interfere with
the trip to Vancouver over the North
ern Pacific which Judge Willard and
she have been contemplating.
