NOTE OF PROVENANCE:
Flora Jo Bergstrom gave the records to the archives in 1986-1987.
BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE:
Flora Jo Bergstrom was born on January 6, 1900 in St. Louis, MO. Living in New
York City at the start of World War I in 1915, she was appointed the Captain of
the Infantry for the National Women's League of Self Defense (later called the
Women's Military Reserve). After the US joined the War in the fall of 1917, she
went to work at the Bethlehem Steel Company in Bethlehem, PA as a file clerk
and timekeeper. After the war, she returned to New York. In 1919, she
developed osteomyelitis, a crippling disease, in her left leg. Although she
suffered with her illness her entire life, she was able at times to walk with
cane/crutches, even dance and ice skate. It was while she was a patient at the
New York Hospital that she developed an interest in nursing. She was admitted
to the New York Hospital Training School for Nurses in 1924, graduating in 1927.
She worked as a Nursery Supervisor and Assistant Floor Supervisor at the LyingIn Hospital in 1927. From 1928-1932, she was an Assistant Director of Nursing
at the Lying-In Hospital. After the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center was
organized in 1932, she became the first Librarian of the Lydia E. Anderson
Library for the Cornell University-New York Hospital School of Nursing. She
retired from that position in September 1, 1949 because of her illness.
She was the Faculty Advisor for the Blue Plaidette and also worked on the Blue
Plaid, Pulse and Alumnae News publications.
During her spare time, she enjoyed sending clippings and writing to various
celebrities including Jimmy Stewart. She enjoyed the circus, rodeo, theater, and
photography as evidence of her papers.
She died on June 6, 1988.
