Our history

Horse-drawn ambulance

"In those days the ambulance was horse drawn. If there was an accident case coming in, from out of town, they would telephone ahead and the ambulance would meet them at the Railroad Station. The ambulance would come back like a fire engine, the horses galloping, and round the corner into Farnam. When we heard the horses, we would run down to the Emergency Room."

Remembrance of Mrs. Albert G. Lobb (nee Miss Elizabeth Alice Bolton), Connecticut Training School for Nurses, Class of 1903.
