[partial transcript of article by C. Brindley Babb, M. D., Resident in Medicine]
[p.10]
Edyth K. Thomas Memorial Hospital was founded in June of 1937 and is lovingly dedicated to the memory of Edyth K. Thomass, deceased daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Alf E. Thomas.
The institution consists of two buildings and is located at 556 E. Garfield Avenue. The first edifice is a three-story structure with a bed capacity of fifty.
...
The second edifice was erected in December of 1937 exclusively for the care of surgical cases. It consists of a ground floor and a clinic upstairs. ... The clinic is managed by one of our most promising of the younger surgeons, Dr. Stanton.
[p. 11]
The staff consists of thirty active members and thirty-three consultants, the medical director and vice-president of the organization, Dr. Alf E. Thomas Jr., who recently graduated from Meharry Medical College, class of 1937; this young man obtained his internship experience at Eloise Hospital and is now an enterprising aspirant for surgical honors in the realm of operative therapeusis. - Title
