Scope and content
Born at 3:48 a.m. on May 11, 1941, baby Irene Merle Gendreau became the first baby born at St. Joseph Hospital on National Hospital Day. She received a five dollar bank account opened in her name. Unaware of all this high finance, she rested quietly between Nurse Margaret McConnell and her mother, Mrs. Joseph Gendreau of Puyallup. (T. Times 5/12/1941, pg. 1)
