Maude and her husband, Forest; moved into Headquarters in 1939. She as PFI's first aid nurse and Forest as the foreman of the machine shop.
Logging was still being done with horses. There were 18 company houses and their rent was $37.50 a month including water and sewer.
Maude was on call 24 hours a day and "was always there when you needed her, whether in her bathrobe or fully dressed" said her long time friend Nelson Fenstermacher, who drove ambulance for many years.
Logging was hazardous work and Maude dealt with many kinds of injuries. Whether it was from a chain saw or bicycle. She said "nobody said I should treat the kids, but nobody said I shouldn't either". "I wouldn't trade it for any thing in the world.
