Doctor's
Office. Eckley's first company doctor, George
Wentz, treated mining accident victims and other villagers
too ill to be cured by home remedies. In later years,
the company doctor was replaced by a resident nurse.
Serious injuries or illnesses were treated in the Drifton
Hospital* or by doctors in Freeland, some of whom paid
regular visits to the village. Open to the public with
guide. *(Drifton Hospital was built by the Coxes in
the 1880's. The building is a private residence now.)
