Ed and Nita Worthington

From Historic Saranac Lake Wiki


At the Trudeau Sanatorium in the 1930s, Juanita Hayman (Nita) was a nurse and Ed Worthington was a patient; they fell in love (became "cousins" in the sanatorium slang) and later married and settled in Saranac Lake. Their daughter, Janet Dudones, created three large scapbooks of their photographs, letters and other mementos of their lives together. This is a small sample of that material. More has been used throughout the pages of the wiki; some of those pages are listed at the bottom.
