Abstract:
Dr. Ben Royal started the first Morehead City hospital with support from the U.S. Public Health Service and local community members. Edith Broadway was hired as a nurse in 1912 to assist with operations. Her work, however, far exceeded her title. Broadway and Royal worked tirelessly to assist residents of Morehead City and surrounding areas; beginning with only seven beds, the duo worked to expand service to eighteen patients. Following the flu epidemic of 1918, Royal and Broadway continued to raise funds for a larger, more adequate facility. Their work manifested in a new building and improved medical facilities. The two worked side by side through the Second World War. Overall, Broadway dedicated 31 years to the Morehead City hospitals.

Abstract:
Between 1925 and 1931, two “chapel trains” operated by the Catholic Church in North Carolina traveled through the state proselytizing. The trains operated as literal Catholic churches on wheels, complete with pews, an altar, an organ, and a sanctuary. One of the trains stopped in Morehead City in 1926 and 1928. The priest on board, Father Egbert Albert, left a lasting impression on the town’s residents. Following his death, the Morehead City Catholic Church was built in his memory.
