Sarah R. Wood
First husband; H. Pollard
Second husband; James T. Wood
HOSPITAL SITE SELECTED
Temporary Building Bought at Centennial and Forest
Kings Daughters Will Fit It Up and By Next Year the Permanent Buildings Should be Commenced There.
The Carthage city hospital is to be located on the high and quiet knoll at the northwest corner of Centennial Avenue and Forest street, southwest of Carthage. The site has been bought from Mrs. Sarah R. Wood, including one and one-quarter acres, a story and a half house, a cistern and well, for $1,250. It is hoped that in time 6 or 7 of the Thacker lots adjoining can be bought and added to the original property, making 2 1/2 or 3 acre site. The ground slopes east and north, and is in a healthful, restful, well shaded neighborhood. Dr. G. R. Hill now occupies the place.
The King's Daughters are to take charge of this property, and will fit it up for use by the physicians or private patients of the city under some sort of arrangement along the plan suggested by Dr. Ketcham.
Samuel McReynolds of the hospital association today expressed the hope that within six months a scheme for a loan of funds could be presented to the people, and that next year the erection of a permanent hospital can be commenced on this site. Eventually the Brooks bequest is to meet the loan now to be asked for.
As reported in The Carthage Evening Press
March 17, 1903
NOTE:
The first public hospital built, after temporary use of her old home, was a fourteen bed facility, on the home site of Sarah R Wood, sold 17, March 1930 for $1,250, opening 1907 at northwest corner of Centennial and Forest. Building pictured at right
Its believed funds donated to Dr 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.
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 $75,000 from John C Guinn's estate with community matching funds, ~ constructed immediately west of first hospital building which opened 1907.
