Premier Oliver Visits Hazelton -1920

In September 1920, Premier John Oliver visited Hazelton with his Minister of Lands, T. Duff Patullo, who himself later became premier. After spending the night in a private rail car, the party spent the morning touring Hazelton and making speeches. They stopped for lunch with Mrs. Wrinch at the Hospital. (Dr. Wrinch was on the coast attending the funeral of his friend Dr. Large). The visit to the Hospital farm was captured by a photographer. In the back row, left to right, are Mr. Dawson, Mr. Pattullo, Mr. Walker (from the Province), Premier Oliver (with cap and beard) and Miss Beatrice Uren (matron at the hospital and superintendent of the nursing school). In the front row are Miss McLean, an unknown nurse, Harold and Arthur Wrinch and fifteen year-old Ralphena Wrinch.
