"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 Dr T E McCune's 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.

The name McCune-Brooks was an act by the city fathers in the late twenties when a fifty bed additional building was designed by Kansas City architects Hoener, Baun, and Frosse opened in the fall of 1929 with the major donation from John C Guinn's estate of $75,000 matched with community contributions, ~ constructed by the Busboom Bros (Frank & George) Construction company of Carthage, immediately west of first hospital building which opened twenty-two years earlier, 1907 and was converted to nurses quarters.
