Since we had no photos of Granny Mattie Blunt Josey's sister, Annie Blunt, I was fortunate enough to find these records (shown below) in Shreveport, LA  when Annie was a student nurse at the Charity Hospital. I called the hospital and they said that a fire destroyed everything about that time, so no photos were available. Annie did work at the Highland Hospital later and I have attempted to call them, all to no avail as of 09-27-05.
