The kitchen table served as an operating table and there was no assisting nurse. Forty years later Dr. Fletcher operated upon the same man in the Orchard hospital. J. W. Harmon often assisted the doctor in administering the anaesthetic in the earlier days. [http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ne/topic/resources/OLLibrary/who1940/co/antelope.htm]
