Context

From gallery label: Following the death of Dr. John A. 'Jack' Hargleroad II in May, 2015, his heirs contacted the Museum to see if there was interest in items related to the doctor's career. The items in this case represent the bulk of the miscellany of objects we subsequently received. Dr. Hargleroad received his M.D. degree from Temple University Medical School in 1946, and several years later he opened a solo medical practice in Shippensburg, PA. He was a General Practitioner and a country doctor who treated all ages, made house calls, and assisted in surgery. During his career he delivered over 2,000 babies. In 1964, he and his family moved to State College, PA, where he was a physician and faculty member of Penn State University until his retirement in 1985.
