Phyllis Snider of Tilton will sign her book, "More Than a Building," from 3 to 5 p.m. July 9 at the gift shop at Provena United Samaritans Medical Center, Danville. The book tells the history of the buildings, staff, departments and the Franciscan Sisters of the Sacred Heart who served at St. Elizabeth Hospital.

DANVILLE – Phyllis Snider enjoys doing research, and she loved her nursing career at St. Elizabeth Hospital.

As each of the various sections of the hospital was torn down until nothing remained but a grassy space a block long and about a block and a half wide on Danville's southeast side, Snider, 70, took its destruction as a personal loss.
