Woodsfield Hospital in 1905 – Dr. F. C. Huth was the founder and president of the Woodsfield Hospital in 1904.  It was located on the south part of town and apparently in largely a rural area.  It had its own garden and farm.  Fresh dairy and garden products were raised for the patients.  It had 13 rooms and a large bath which could provide Turkish shower, Russian, vapor, sea, salt or ‘electric’ baths.  It was managed by a matron and boasted a large nursing staff.
