Rufus McNair, Assistant Postman, Has Appendicitis, Sept. 2, 1920

From the front page of the Rockingham Post-Dispatch, Thursday afternoon, September 2, 1920.

Rufus McNair, assistant postmaster, was carried to the Presbyterian hospital at Charlotte Tuesday night and at 2 o'clock that night was operated upon by Dr. Wingate for appendicitis. An operation was very necessary as the appendix had ruptured. He is doing nicely now. His wife and W.E. McNair accompanied him there.
