Instead, a long bill arrived. Thanks for sharing the story.

She was around 5 years old when she had the tonsilectomy, and she said she remembers that she received a silver dollar as a gift from the hospital. She also remembers the Jell-O. Lots of Jell-O.<br/><br/>Thanks for posting this really neat blog entry!<br/><br/>BFF,<br/>Miss T I checked with my mom and she says she was born at this hospital and that she also had her tonsils taken out there.

When I saw this discussion and the photograph, I recalled driving by a building similar to it with my mom somewhere in Tallahassee, and she told me that it was the hospital before the current TMH was built. Mom was born in the older building in 1939, but I'm not sure if it's the same building that's pictured here. Now I'm curious. Gotta find out.<br/><br/>Love this local history stuff!<br/><br/>BFF,<br/>Miss T Wow …

Thanks, guys…

All I really know is that Joe Guttman told me it had been a Seventh Day Adventist Hospital and that he had been born there. TMH was built in 1947-48, I believe, and Joe was born before then, so it was a hospital before TMH, but whether it was THE hospital, I don't know. <br/>I'd not heard of Forsyth before Dave wrote about it.<br/>Then there's the FAMU hospital that was closed; when or really why I don't know.<br/>I do recall reading that Black Plaintiffs lost a lawsuit over the fact that they had to pay taxes that in part went to TMH but they couldn't be treated there then.<br/>I've found Gerald Ensley (gensley@tallahassee.com) usually quite knowledgeable; you might try him.<br/>Dave-thanks for allowing this.<br/>Cordially, Charless Hi, Miss T!

I’d not heard of Forsyth before Dave wrote about it.
Then there’s the FAMU hospital that was closed; when or really why I don’t know.
I do recall reading that Black Plaintiffs lost a lawsuit over the fact that they had to pay taxes that in part went to TMH but they couldn’t be treated there then.
I’ve found Gerald Ensley (gensley@tallahassee.com) usually quite knowledgeable; you might try him.
Dave-thanks for allowing this.
Cordially, Charless

It's on the spur line that goes to the Fuller's earth plant. You can't actually see it on Google Earth but I remember a trip to the plant during a "learn about Gadsden county" event designed for local teachers. If I'm right, it goes under another 5 point intersection -- here's my best guess:<br/><br/>http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=30.593899,-84.585623&spn=0.001152,0.001754&t=h&z=19&om=1 I think I found the tunnel in Quincy.
