Description The collection consists of one photograph album containing pictures of the Oteen Hospital as it was in use during the years of World War I.  The 68 page album contains 276 photographs that depict life at the hospital, in the Oteen area, and beyond,  and that has some relationship to Jessie Morris, the nurse who worked there and who photographed and/or collected the images in this  album. 

Jesse Morris was the daughter of Dr. Beverly Preston Morris  and Mary Louise Watts (m. 1855)  of Amherst County, VA. Dr. Morris was reportedly the first doctor in Amherst County during the Civil War.

An additional photograph was added to the collection by Alan Lynch on June 15 which shows two young men at Oteen in 1921.  Their identity is not known and any identification would be welcomed for this photograph or any of the other images in the collection. findingaids/photo/massie_oteen/jpg_massie/Unknown0002 - Oteen, NC - 1923.jpg
