Irene Covington, County Health Nurse, Resigning, June 26, 1922

Miss Covington to Leave Work This Week

Miss Irene Covington, county health nurse for the past six months, expects to leave this week for her home at Bennettsville, S.C., where she will take a much needed rest as she has been working steadily in her profession for a number of years. Miss Covington is giving up the work here though public announcement of her resignation has been withheld by the county department in the hope of announcing her successor at the same time.

So far no successor has been definitely secured for the county health nursing position, although every effort is being made to satisfactorily fill the place, it is stated. It had been hoped also here this time to have a community nurse for Lexington on the job, but this has not yet been accomplished because of difficulty in finding a candidate for the place.

Dr. Perry announced Saturday that Mrs. W.P. Bain, of this city, any experienced vacancy, beginning work today.

From the front page of the Lexington Dispatch, June 26, 1922. The last sentence doesn’t make any sense, but it was what was printed.
