Public Swimming Pool and Hospital
Fullerton was one of only a few cities in
Louisiana that had a public swimming
pool. The swimming pool was located
across the road from the hotel. The
pool was a modern concrete pool with
diving boards & slides. A constant
stream of fresh water flowed through
the pool to the mill pond.
The Fullerton hospital was modern for the
time. Employees paid a small fee each
month for health coverage: $2.50 per family
or $1.50 for single men. According to the
1920 census, Dr. Charles E. Spivey, Dr.
R.E. Winham, & Dr. William Glass were
the mill physicians at Fullerton.
