Annie Oakley Entertaining Patients at Montrose Sanatorium, Raising Money for Eureka Farm Life School, April 7, 1920


From The Pinehurst Outlook, Wednesday, April 7, 1920

Annie Oakley

Annie Oakley has promised her help in entertaining the patients at the Sanatorium near Montrose, N.C. She will motor over on Thursday of this week for the purpose of giving a little exhibition of her shooting skills. Annie Oakley is always to be counted on in aiding worthy causes. It will be remembered that she recently gave an exhibition at the Gun Club for the benefit of the Farm Life School at Eureka, N.C., another Sand Hill institute of interest to visitors from the North, and by the sale of marked pennies, autographs, etc., raised considerably over $100 for the school.

Others who have contributed their services to entertain at the hospital are Mr. James Doyle, who recently staged for the patients a little vaudeville show of his own, and Miss Blake and Miss McKenzie, who sang a number of times and have been warmly received.

These little entertainments are under the patronage of Mrs. Leonard Tufts, who is indefatigable in good work of this kind throughout Moore and the adjoining Counties.
