Abstract:

Papers of Clarence Wentland, a Woodruff, Wisconsin, businessman, entirely concerning his leadership in the “Million Penny Parade” fundraising drive to build a hospital that would serve the Arbor Vitae, Woodruff, Minocqua, and Lac du Flambeau area of northern Wisconsin. This idea was suggested by Dr. Kate Pelham Newcomb. Included are clippings from newspapers and magazines relating to the hospital and to Dr. Newcomb; records of the hospital (Lakeland Memorial Hospital, Woodruff); and miscellaneous newsletters, publicity releases, photographs, and other papers. Correspondents include Adele Comandini, Ralph Edwards, Edward R. Murrow, and Arthur Rubloff. There is also a script for Dr. Kate's appearance on the This Is Your Life television program. The photographs document the dedication of the Dr. Kate memorial plaque at the hospital and other fundraising events. There is one photograph of Dr. Kate.
