Caption: Dr. A.W. Gustafson Memorial Plaque
Additional Description: The plaque reads, "1881-1952, Dr. A.W. Gustafson. In Memoriam. To a life dedicated to the welfare of the children of this community."

The Gustine Historical Society on 'Dr. Gus':"... an office or home visit was $1 and if the doctor came more than once a day it was still only $1. A baby was delivered for $25. If you had to see a specialist or another doctor, he took you in his own car from Gustine to wherever the other doctor was located. If he took you for a stay at a hospital, he would also pick you up and bring you home."
