LIST OF SUBSCRIPTIONS TO <
PURCHASE HOSPITAL LOT
The following list will be of interest
to all those who contributed to _
the purchasing of the lot for the hos- ?
pital. The record is from the books
af the treasurer and is given exactly
as recorded in that book in the year
Lf)05. Quite a number of subscriptions
as shown not paid in full in this
ist have been since 1905 paid and it
s in the fund now in bank. This list
ihows just what was paid for the lot
and where the money came from and
jvhere it went. It is no reflection up- 0j
>n a subscriber who paid only a part b,
>f his subscription. The subscrip- ci
,ions aggregated far more than p,
snough to pay for the lot. L. M. Rice, Sj
at that time one of the trustees, and tV
[)r. M. W. Culp secured most of the aj
subscriptions shown belowL LL M. ei
&ice acted as treasurer until the lot ti
vas paid for and the matter was then sc
dosed up and the lot transferred to ^
he trustees. It should be added that tli
Mr. E. Nicholson, at the solicitation e,
if L. M. Rice, financed the purchasing cj
if the lot. There was not a copper sc
n hand when the lot was purchased.
Mr. Nicholson loaned the entire $850
vhich was the purchase price of the
ot, and as secprity for the loan the 5
ot was put up. In April 1905, and
vhen the entire amount was raised f
ind paid, the lot was deeded to the rj
rustees of the hospital. Here is the R,
ist as shown on the books of the R
reasurer of the hospital:
