The long history of the Butler County Memorial Hospital Nurses' Alumnae Association officially comes to an end next month.

The group's officers will meet with an attorney and formally dissolve the 100-year-old organization.

The association will leave behind plans for a scholarship and a showcase of student nurse memorabilia, located in the main tower of Butler Memorial Hospital, between the glass doors and the Nixon-Sarver Education Center.

The cabinet and its contents are a reminder of the nursing school, which was open from 1901 to 1974 and produced 1,143 graduates of its three-year course.
