Browsing the cemetery, I stop and ask the custodian, "Are there any famous people here?" and he points out only this one grave...I almost didn't go up the hill to record it but glad I did.
In 1917, Edward Severin Clark began to build the Mary Imogene Basset Hospital and Pathological Laboratory merging it with an earlier hospital, Thankgiving Hospital's tradition. Thanksgiving Hospital was founded by Susan Fenimore Cooper in gratitude for the end of the Civil War.
First Physician-in-Chief for Bassett Heathcare. Known as wise, skillful, devoted and unselfish
