In Memory of Dr. McCune
A meeting in memory of Dr. McCune was held by the Y. M. C. A. yesterday afternoon at their rooms. Short talks were made by Dr. Knight, Dr. Matthews, Judge Waters and C. F. McElroy. Dr. McCune was one of the prime movers in the organization of the Y. M. C. A., and was always foremost in good works. His memory is borne in high esteem by the Y. M. C. A., as indeed it is by all who knew him.
"An anonymous gift was made to the [1892 created branch of; Faithful Circle of King's Daughters] Association [1903] in the amount of $10,000, which was to specifically be used for the construction of a hospital. Later it was learned that Lizzie A McCune left those funds as a memorial to her son Dr T E McCune, who was an associate of Dr Brooks. Mrs McCune, acting as a major impetus for the Carthage Hospital Association contracted for a hospital facility to be constructed near the corner of Centennial and Forest."

The first public hospital built was a fourteen bed facility, on the homesite of Sarah R Wood, sold 17, March 1930 for $1,250, opening 1907 at Centennial and Forest. Its believed funds donated to his memory by his mother, following his 1893 death, were used along with funds from Dr Brook's trust, established for "erection, equipping and maintaining" a much needed hospital prior to his 1899 death.
