Francis G. Swedenburg papers

The collection consists of 34 journals spanning 1890-1937, a doctor’s call book, a record book, and twelve family photographs, clippings, financial documents, and other miscellanea. Swedenburg's record book, kept from 1911 to 1913, notes "several surgeries were executed weekly including appendectomies, tonsillectomies, and surgeries for ovarian cysts, carcinomas, abscesses, and broken bones." In 1912 Swedenburg became associated with Southern Oregon University as his hospital began contributing to nurses training.

An example of a random entry from Tuesday, March 14th, 1933: Dr. Shaw called me early and told me of the passing of Gladys Parks during the night. Poor little soul, it seemed so strange that she could not rally and I am not at all satisfied with the diagnosis – for from the very first it was peculiar by the nervousness and the vomiting.
