In the 1930's my aunt, Lelia Harbert worked at a hospital in North Platt or Lincoln Nebraska called The Valley Platt Hospital. I have a picture of her with other nurses in front of the hospital. Does anyone have any knowledge of this hospital or where it was exactly. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
Just saw your post from a long time ago. We used to have a hospital here in North Platte called the Platte Valley hospital. Could this be it? Let me know and I'll see if I can find any records of your ancestor.

Hi, thanks for your post, although I cannot say or sure it sounds like it could be it, would love any info possible. Both my aunt Lelia Harbert and mother Luretta Harbert were working as nurses at that hospital a long, long time ago. Again, thank you
Darlene

I'll do some checking on both Lelia and Luretta Harbert and see if I can find any records of them being in the area. If I find some I'll let you know what I find.

Hi Darlene,
I checked census records and found the whole family on the census in 1920 in Broken Bow, Custer Co. Nebraska. It's a neighboring county to us here in North Platte, Lincoln County. I then looked in the 1930 census and only found Lelia as a nurse. The house she was living in still stands today. It's a big beautiful stone house on a corner and the Platte Valley Hospital building is also still standing. She lived only one block from the hospital. It wouldn't surprise me that Luretta would of been a nurse also at the same hospital. North Platte had several neighborhood hospitals at that time. Luretta just wasn't on the 1930 census with Lelia. Don't know where she was. Do you want pictures of the house and hospital buildings. It wouldn't be a problem for me to get them to you. I live only a couple of blocks from both of them.

Hi
Thank you so very much for checking on this for me, I appreciate it so much. Lelia was my aunt and Luretta was my mother, I heard stories from them as I was growing up about them working as nurses - for some reason my mother did not continue as long as Lelia, she was afraid for some reason at the hospital. I would love any info, pictures or whatever you might have. I do have their census info for those years and I do only find Lelia actually living away from home while working at the hospital - just could never find info on the hospital. Again, thank you so much for your time and effort on this and for offering to send photos, would love to have them. If there is anythin I can lookup for you here in CA or otherwise, please let me know and I will be glad to do it.
Darlene
