Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - October 22, 1904 DOCTOR LEAPS TO DEATH FROM FOURTH STORY Freeing himself from the grip of a woman nurse, Dr. George PURVIANCE, Assistant Surgeon General of the United States Marine Hospital Service, plunged from a fourth floor window of the Ortheopaedic Hospital, Seventeenth and Summer streets, Philadelphia, on Thursday, and killed himself. Dr. PURVIANCE had been a patient in the hospital since August 28, suffering from nervous trouble. His condition, it was thought, had improved. He was in his room on the fourth floor on Thursday when he ran suddenly toward the window. His action attracted a woman nurse, who clutched his arms and tried to hold the physician until help arrived. Dr. PURVIANCE released himself from the woman's hold and rushed to the balcony. Screams of the nurse attracted attention from persons in the neighborhood, who were powerless, as Dr. PURVIANCE jumped to the pavement. He was breathing when taken into the hospital, but died within a few minutes. His spine was injured, his arms were fractured, and he sustained other injuries. Dr. PURVIANCE was 63 years old and served as adjutant in the 134th Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers. AGED NORRISTOWN RESIDENT FATALLY INJURED William K.

OK, before I get overwhelmed with the same question by everyone..... The entire Historical Society is moving to it's new home, the Lehigh Valley Heritage Center. It is on the same block as (right next to, I believe) old Trout Hall. I can't find an actual address, but it is on Walnut St. between Penn and Hickory Sts. according to the LCHS website. http://www.lehighcountyhistoricalsociety.org/index.html The society's move has actually begun already, I believe, but the library will not be moving until the dates I stated in the previous email. Jeff Minnich

I was just told by the librarian that the last day the library will be open is Feb 25 2005. After the move, it will not reopen until Apr 11 2005. Jeff in Whitehall
