Monday Mural
The mural this week was completed in 2008 and honors Annie Hill, Nurse Mid-Wife for 59 years in Lake Placid, FL.
She was born in 1891 and died in 1988, at the age of 92. She worked with the State Board of Health from 1918 until 1976 in the field of Mid-Wifery. She delivered 1,500 babies during that time, and only resigned her position because of changes in the law. In addition, she was a strong Christian, a faithful member of Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church, where she served in many different leadership positions. She also served in the Masonic Family.
Annie married Deacon James Hill and they had 6 children - 2 sons and 4 daughters.

It sounds like Annie had a very busy life and still managed to live to a old age..
Linda, what a great mural. Annie did have a busy life, one I am sure she was proud of. Have a great day!
What a nice tribute to Annie, so beautiful painted.
so neat. what a great way to honor her. cool!! (:
What a wonderful woman she was...great tribute!
Wonderful way to honor a skilled, good and compassionate woman! I love those murals with the hidden things in them! How thoughtful for the mural to be on a Dr.'s office.
LOVE this mural! and the meaning behind it...
oh my gosh, I have my family looking at barns, and skys and fences...now murals?!
That's a big mural! Nicely done, too! You must have a lot of them around your area.
What a great tribute to this remarkable woman.
What a great mural and great tribute.
Delivering babies for 49 years. Bringing new life into the world - a nice way to spend a life!
what a great tribute to a wonderful woman!
What a beautiful tribute.
I did pull the image in and try to find the hidden objects Linda, no luck and I'm not really sure what a 'binki' is. I love the expression on the little boy to the left, my son always used to put his hands up like that when he was excited about something.
1500 babies! I cannot imagine. Wow, what a woman.
The mural is a fabulous tribute to this wonderful woman! Beautiful!
That's a wonderful thing they have done to give a mural as a tribute to her!
I bet this remarkable woman saw far too many changes in her life, but she probably coped rather well with them.
What a fine mural - and tribute to her (echoing all the other commenters!)
What a great mural and wonderful tribute to this woman who contributed so much to her community.
I really like murals but I'll never find the hidden objects. The mural is an excellent way to honor someone who has given so much.
I love it when communities celebrate local heroes. Annie Hill deserves this accolade and more. Imagine the many other lives she touched helping to bring those 1500 babies into this world. Thank you for contributing to Monday Mural.
thanks for the background on the mural. amazing artwork.
Hi Linda, these barns are marvelous and the murals . . . well I love murals, especially when they contain history.
Yes I did use transfers to create my do not disturb door knob signs. This is a very easy project.
Have fun! Connie :)
What a wonderful honour!
