My Mennonite Heritage in the 1950’s:
mostly my grandma doing awesome nurse-y things

I was inspired to google my grandparents and found an entire album documenting the Mennonite Board of Missions and Charities’ work in Culp, Arkansas between the 40’s and 60’s. My grandmother was a charge nurse at the clinic there. Due to my love of old photographs, I felt I should blog these.
