This collection of photographs appears to have come from various sources, including ... photos taken at local "Fresh Air Camps", photos from the Mansfield General Hospital Clinic, a series of health plays and demonstrations at the Richland Co. fairgrounds, photos from local schools showing students learning about the importance of good hygiene and photos of visiting physicians, dentists and nurses out in the community checking on various residents.

Most of these photographs have brief captions, but very few of them have names.   If you can identify any of the people in these photographs, PLEASE contact me.  Some of the photographs have some water damage due to some recent flooding where they had been stored.
