A prior posting detailed the efforts of the Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) of Somerset Hills to set up an emergency hospital in Bernardsville during the Influenza Epidemic of 1918-19.
The full VNA Annual Report for 1919 is now available (click HERE) in the THSSH Online Archives. The report lists hundreds of names, including officers, trustees, donors, nurses, and sub-committees who worked during the epidemic. Sub-committees existed for Bernardsville, Basking Ridge (including Passaic Township/Long Hill Township), Raritan River (Bedminster, Peapack-Gladstone, Far Hills) and Mendham.

Thank you. My great grandmother was on the Raritan subcommittee and this was before my grandmother was born, so very nice to see.
