Publisher description
Excerpt from Report of the Howard Association of Norfolk, Va. To All Contributors Who Gave Their Valuable Aid in Behalf of the Sufferers From Epidemic Yellow Fever During the Summer of 1855 This is known as the Howard Orphan Asylum. Whilst the epidemic continued to produce its worst ravages amongst the population of Norfolk, it often happened that entire families, with the exception of their youngest and most helpless members, were swept away. Some of these deplorable cases occurring just after the establishment of a city hospital, it was be lieved that one large apartment in it reserved for destitute children might answer all temporary purposes of shelter, and furnish at the same time a safe-guard from starvation. Accordingly a room was provided, competent nurses secured, and many admitted. It was soon found that all the space in the hospital would be required, whilst that intended for more youthful inmates could not contain their fast multiplying number.
