tivities up to and Including
December 21, 1921
We, the members of Cottage
Hospital Association, wish to
thank the good citizens, for their
support given us in the beginning
of a Negroes Hospital. Beyond a
shadow of a doubt such an in
stitution is not needed in Athens.
If this be true there is work for
alhof us to do.
This little movement began its
work September 15th. 1921 with
only five members present.
To-day we have a strong mem
bership of 25, These members,
are divided into Clubs. Club No.
I, Mis. William Few, Charman.
Club No. I, Bast Athens, Miss
Susie Ealey, Chairman. Allen
ville Club Mrs. Julia Wilkerson,
Chairman, and Newtown Club
Mrs. Walter Capers, Chairman.
These clubs have done great work
«
towards fathering this great move
ment.
We wish to thank publicly Col.
J. Thomas Heard for services ren
dered us in forming cur Charter.
Also Mayor E’wm for his kind
deed in giving us 50 per cent on
the cost of printing our Charter
in the Athens Banner.

success and that every citizen will
try to do his part in making this
movement a sucess.
In every city the size of Athens,
or even smaller, our people have
some place to care for there loved
oivs in the time of illness.
If « e can build, churches schools
and lodge halls, why is it that we
cannot build a hospital? and in
stitution that is greatly needed?
