Description
An account of the resource
Newspaper article from The News, written by Carol Strand about the life of Dr. A. Louise Klehm in response to the American Legion honoring her. Dr. Klehm served as a nurse during the Spanish-American War at Fort Sheridan and in Florida. She attended the University of Illinois, Chicago Medical School and interned in the slums on west side of Chicago, delivering babies and performing other duties. After World War I, she studied under a famous plastic surgeon in Europe. Upon her return to the United States, Dr. Klehm joined the staff of St. Francis Hospital in Evanston, Illinois. She was remembered for visiting patients by horse-drawn carriage until buying a Model T Ford in 1912. After breaking her arm cranking the car, Dr. Klehm still managed to make calls and deliver a baby. She received threats from the Black Hand gang; her sister, Alma recalls accompanying her on calls with revolver in hand for protection. She also joined her during her many calls during the World War I flu epidemic.
