At a meeting of the stockholders of the Thompson Memorial hospital last Tuesday the following were elected directors: K.M. Barnes, A.E. White, Q.T. Williams, T.F. Costner, Dickson McLean, J.L. Stephens and F.P. Gray. At a subsequent meeting, the directors elected the following officers: K.M. Barnes, president; Mrs. Kate G. Thompson and Dr. T.C. Johnson, vice presidents; G.E. Ranke, secretary and treasurer.
The board of directors is considering a building site for the proposed new hospital. More than $50,000 already has been subscribed and additional subscriptions are coming in daily.
It is proposed to erect on some suitable site a thoroughly modern fire-proof hospital to replace the hospital founded by the late Dr. N.A. Thompson, which hospital was destroyed by fire nearly two months ago. The movement to build this memorial hospital has met with enthusiastic popular support, a large number of local people subscribing in amounts from $50 to $5,000.
The directors have a number of sites from which to select, a dozen or more having been offered.
