Francis B. Trudeau
On the fourth day of Saranac Lake-mas, Historic Saranac Lake gave to you … a calling card! This card was sent to Maude Liscomb, Francis Berger Trudeau’s patient and friend, while FBT was serving as captain of the Medical Reserve Corps of the Army in 1918. FBT was the son of Dr. E.L. Trudeau and continued his work with tuberculosis patients in Saranac Lake. The calling card, courtesy of Janet Swentusky, is part of the Historic Saranac Lake Collection. The photo of FBT, courtesy of the Trudeau Family as part of the Historic Saranac Lake Collection, is undated.
