My article on the old Waldport (OR) hospital and Dr. Edwards was published in the June issue of Oregon Coast magazine. You can read it online at:

This article will be of particular interest to descendants of Lester and Pearl (Carlisle) Smith, late of Oregon City, Waldport and Siletz/Logsden, Oregon.
While researching for this article, I read John Tayman's book "The Colony--The Harrowing True Story of the Exiles of Molokai." (Published by Scribner in 2006). If you're interested in the history of this Hawaiian Island or the subject of leprosy, don't miss this book.
