Sometime in Archives’ curator and board of the early 1900s the family moved from directors would like to thank Britain to the interior of B.C., first they Jim Sanders for his work helping us were in Armstrong but shortly after they restore Dr. Scatchard’s wicker rocking moved to Chase. He was the first doctor chair. Now it has a beautiful, brand new, in Chase and served the community custom designed cushion! We are very until his death in 1947. Dr. Scatchard was grateful for Jim’s help making the chair known as someone “who never, in good look complete and ready for display weather or bad, failed to answer a call inside the museum. While the chair does for assistance.” There was a hospital built look inviting, you unfortunately cannot across from their home but when the sit in it. The chair is at the very least ARLC mill shut down in 1925 so did the several decades old and is at risk of being hospital. After that point Dr. Scatchard damaged from use. worked out of his home with both his Dr. Walter Scatchard married Ada wife Ada and daughter Mildred working Kemble Donne in 1888. They had as nurses. The museum currently has an six children, born between 1889 and exhibit on Dr. Scatchard which includes 1911; Charles, Walter, Gerald, William, medical instruments from several eras, bottles and containers for medicines which would have been prescribed, and even a baby scale! There is also Mrs. Scatchard’s piano which still works though I’ve been told it’s out of tune.
