Rosella and her sister Mary attended the Battle Creek Sanitarium
Training School for Missionary Nurses The training took place from November 1, 1893 and November 2, 1896 The Diploma was not signed by Dr. Kellogg until 1897 because, it is said, he did not want them to leave They stayed working at the Sanitarium and for Dr. Kellogg until 1899 when Ellen G. White, founder of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, and Dr. Kellogg had a disagreement. Sister White, as she was called,
declared that there were too many Adventist at Battle Creek and they
should "spread out, populate the country and spread the
Gospel." Please excuse the quality of the picture, I will attempt to place a full diploma here soon. |
