Veterans' Ward of the Elgin State Hospital
The Elgin Mental Health Center of Elgin, Illinois was formerly named the Elgin State Hospital. It once housed a separate, federally funded facility for the care of disabled veterans. From 1932 to 1949 my grandfather, John W. Nelson, was employed by the Illinois Division of Veterans’ Services and worked as a service officer at this facility. He made this film around 1934 showing the hospital grounds, his co-workers, the veterans that he cared for, and some of their activities and special events. Some of the people named in the film are Dr. Charles F. Read, Miss Myrl Leonard, Mrs. Julia Mumme, Miss Della Williams, Miss Lorna M. Beadles, and Miss Grace Hopper. Most of the participants seen in this film were probably veterans of the First World War.

Elgin Cathedral
Elgin Cathedral is a historic ruin in Elgin, Moray, north-east Scotland. The cathedral—dedicated to the Holy Trinity—was established in 1224 on land granted by King Alexander II outside the burgh of Elgin and close to the River Lossie. It replaced the cathedral at Spynie, 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) to the north, that was served by a small chapter of eight clerics. The new and bigger cathedral was staffed with 18 canons in 1226 and then increased to 23 by 1242. After a damaging fire in 1270, a rebuilding programme greatly enlarged the building. It was unaffected by the Wars of Scottish Independence but again suffered extensive fire damage in 1390 following an attack by Robert III's brother Alexander Stewart, Earl of Buchan, also known as the Wolf of Badenoch. In 1402 the cathedral precinct again suffered an incendiary attack by the followers of the Lord of the Isles. The number of clerics required to staff the cathedral continued to grow, as did the number of craftsmen needed to maintain the buildings and surrounds. The number of canons had increased to 25 by the time of the Scottish Reformation in 1560, when the cathedral was abandoned and its services transferred to Elgin's parish church of St Giles. After the removal of the lead that waterproofed the roof in 1567, the cathedral steadily fell into decay. Its deterioration was arrested in the 19th century, by which time the building was in a substantially ruinous condition.
