August 1911 Montrose, Colorado "From the Topeka Capital of August first
we note an extract from a letter written by Dr. C. E. Fisher, the noted surgeon,
brother of Dr. H. F. Fisher, the Montrose eye epecialist, to Topeka friends,
speaks of his leaving on the steamer Megantic, embbarking at Montreal, Canarda:
Here we are 2,334 passengers and crew in latitude 55, 20 and
longitude 37, 42, away up opposite the lower third of British Columbia some
hundreds of miles north of Canada and nearly half way across the ocean.
We ran alongside of huge iceburgs off the coast of Labrador all Monday afternoon
and night and it was cold, necessitating our using blankets and overcoats,
a very delightful change from the experience we had in Canada.
z
'Some of these icebergs were hundreds of feet long and fifty to a hundred feet
high, some with great towers, dome and spire-like promontories, very picturesque
and beautiful, the first I have ever seen except in Alaskan waters.
'Now we are in a dense fog and the big whistle, fog horn sometime is called,
is blowing continuously, but the ship keeps pounding away at full speed,
just the same.
“We have a clean, bright steady boat and a pleasant lot of passengers,
among them a number of physician friends going to the Homeopathic Medical
congress, (three of them with their wives) and others, making it quite a
pleasant trip for me. Dr. Carolyn Putnam, of Kansas City and Chicago friends,
are with ua on their way to join a party of teachers on the other side
and return with them in the fall.
'I had a decided unusual and novel experience last night, being called
after dark by the ship physician, Dr. Spotwood, of London, to see a
Toronto boy of 11 years, and at 10 o'clock operated upon him for
appendicitis.
His name is Jack Hall, a sweet tempered and very gentlemanly lad.
The boy's mother is dead, and his father was taking him to England on a
visit.
Dr. Spotwood acted as first assistant, with Dr. Gordon, of Chicago,
Dr. Sollis Runnels of Indianapolis, and Dr. Griffith of Montreal, present.
The state of the lad was desperate and very critical.
I had the operation in the doctor's office turned into a temporary surgery,
and this is the second appendectomy in midocean so far as I know.
Dr. Wiergusted, New York surgeon, operated a case on the Majestic
some years ago, and much ado was made of it in the press.
In that case the engines were stopped. This would have been done for
me, but the ship was riding ste&dy and there was only a gentle roll on,
so I did not think it required - so mine was done at 10 at
night under full steam.
It is the talk of the ship and we all hope he may recover, and he
has a fighting chance, for at this writing, 18 hours after the operation,
the conditions grow better."
October 1913 Hayden, Routt County, Colorado "Dr. H. F. Fisher,
of Denver will be at the Oxford hotel, Hayden, Friday, October 17,
to operate upon and treat the Eyes, Nose, Throat, Ears,
Adenoids, Tonsils and to Fit Glasses Properly."
Hugh and Kittie are in Denver in 1920, 1930, and 1940, with Mable Mitby 51 living with them in 1940.
