The majority of the settlers in this wilderness were left to their own initiative. They learned from the Indi.ans regarding herbs and the methods of curing diseases which the natives had used and developed some e ideas of their own. Some of these were helpful. Some were harmful. Midwives were found in each settlement until they were finally replaced by doctors, nurses and hospitals. The earliest and most prominent of the pioneer doctors was William Ludlow McIntyre. About the time of the coming of the railroad, other physicians established themselves in Ogden. Some of these were George Gates, Jesse J. Murphy, P. Wheeler, Thomas Williams, C.W. Nellis, John Driver, F. E. Brown and A. S. Condon. The 1878 Ogden City Directory listed the following doctors who have not been named: William H. Pidcock, P. L. Anderson, F. R. Woodworth, James X. Allen, and E. G. Johnson, homeopathic physician and surgeon. During the eighties, Dr. H. H. Wadman established practice in Plain City and doctors A. Leppers, John M. Pebbles and S. L. Brick settled in Ogden. Brick was the first eye, ear and throat specialist in the county. Edward and Ezra Rich arrived in Ogden as young physicians during the early nineties. They developed an extenSive practice and were ranked among the outstanding The next hospital built in Ogden was the Ogden Medical and Surgical Hospital at Madison Avenue and 28th Street. This is the first hospital in which nurses were trained. After losing her eldest son in 1894 as a result of appendicitis, and her husband, Thomas D. Dee, in 1905 to pneumonia, which he had suffered as a result of his falling into the South Fork River and becoming chilled, Annie Taylor Dee realized the great need for a hospital in Ogden. In memory of her hus- band and their father, she and her children decided to build one. On July 10, 1910, Mrs. Dee broke ground at 24th Street and Harrison for the Thomas D. Dee Memorial Hospital. When it was completed, Annie Taylor Dee presented the hospital to the public, and Ogden Mayor William Glasmann and the Weber County Commission accepted the hospital on behalf of their constituents. Medical nurses were interns and trained here. In 1915, the Dee Hospital was given to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It operated successfully until 1969 when all patients were transferred to a new hospital, which had been built at 3900 Harrison Boulevard. This new building was named the David 0. McKay Hospital. The Thomas D. Dee Wing of the hospital was added in 1971, and at that time, the name of the hospital was changed to the McKay -Dee Hospital. The old Dee Hospital building was torn down, and the Thomas D. Dee Memorial Park was built on its former site. The Catholic Church established another hospital in Ogden in 1946. It was St. Benedict’s Hospital. It was built on a hill overlooking the city at 30th Street and Polk Avenue. This hospital was operated by rs Sisters of Saint Benedict. with :
