Full title:In an attractively furnished apartment in one wing of St. Anthony's Hospital, Rockford, Illinois, the Nakamura family has found a new home, congenial work, and friendly neighbors. The Nakamura family includes the parents, George and Chiyoko; four daughters, Dora, Irene, Grace, and Mary; and one son, Willie. The parents and all the children work in the hospital. Willie and Mary also attend East High School. The Nakamuras have three other children, George, who trained at Camp Savage, and is now a corporal overseas; Clara, training to be a nurse at St. Francis Hospital in Peoria; and Helen, whose husband, Satoshi Nagase is an instructor at Camp Savage. Helen works as a beautician in Minneapolis, Minn. After the day's work, the family likes to relax in their apartment and read, or listen to the radio. Mrs. Nakamura likes to knit. In this picture, Mrs. Nakamura, in the center, has just brought out her knitting bag, while on the left, Grace thumbs through a magazine while listening to the radio. On the right, Irene is looking over some of her latest sheet music for the piano. The Nakamuras, prior to evacuation, lived at Santa Cruz, California, and lived first at the Tule Lake Relocation Center and later at the Amache Center. They came to Rockford in October, 1943.<lb/> Photographer: Mace, Charles E.<lb/> Rockford, Illinois.
