Black cowhide medical bag used by Grace Millet (1889-1971). Grace was a nurse in the town, and practiced from 1912 to as late as 1954. Grace's uncle, Edward Atwood (1848-1925), was a doctor, who practiced primarily in Dayton, FL. The bag was also used for general travel, used by her aunt Lillian Atwood (1856-1940) for a trip on the White Star Line ship Adriatic to Liverpool.
