Notes about Agnes Alexandra Imlah

Agnes & Bill were married just shortley before she had completed her nurses training and Bill died shortly after she graduated. The marriage to Dow ended in a divorce a year or so after it had begun after an accident had terminated her pregnacy. Agnes went on with her profession and for awhile she was night superintendent at the Albany Hospital. She then studied as X-Ray Tech. in Portland, Oregon and went from there to an island off of Seattle, Washington. While there, the hospital had a sudden emergency problem causing the staff to prepare for immediate evacuation, so all the patients were moved to Juneau, Alaska. There she met Hedsvig Samuelson, while the two of them were on an expedition, climbing the glacier with the group headed by Father (known as the Glacier Priest). Because they forgot to follow orders in the breathing instructions given them for that extreme altitude, the two girls suffered from frostbit lungs and so they were sent to Phoenix, Arizona to cure their ailment. In 1931, Agnes recuperated enough to come to Portland to visit with relatives whom she hadn't seen for a number of years. While in Portland, her lung collapsed and she had to return to Phoenix, where two weeks later both she and Hedsvig Samuelson "Sammy" were killed. The "Winnie Ruth Judd Murders" were a National topic. Ruth Judd was confined in the State Asylum for the criminally insane at Phoenix, AZ. As of 1976, Ruth had been released with the help of a doctor in California, unto his care and she was working as his baby sitter. Agnes died around October 1, 1931
