The Marinette and Menominee hospital (the M. & M. Hospital) was organized in 1883 as the Menominee River Hospital and assumed its later name in 1889. Several years later, the Wisconsin and Michigan Hospital, owned by Dr. Frank Gregory, merged with this institution. Associated with the hospital during the period of these records were doctors Horace E. Mann, M.D. Bird, A.T. Nadeau, H.F. Schroeder, Frank Gregory, J.A. Sommerville, S.P. Jones, G.F. Colter, J.A. Brien, T.A. Lid, and S. Berglund. John E. Boren served as Superintendent and James J. Stephens was ticket superintendent, selling hospital tickets to lumberjacks as a form of insurance. The hospital ceased operations in 1940 and the building was torn down in 1949.
