Jacobs, Helen

Walking tour honors women of distinction by Bonnie Henry, Arizona Daily Star, January 24, 2010: Helen Jacobs' personal tragedy prompted her to buy a home in Tucson in 1922 and convert it into the Stork's Nest maternity ward. Asked if she had ever lost a mother, she answered, "Only one," her daughter, who had died in childbirth in Bisbee. ... Stork's Nest. A maternity home for Tucson women from the 1920s to the 1940s, it was operated by Helen Jacobs and staffed by nurses night and day.
