Jefferson, Jackson County, Georgia
LOCAL WOMAN
WILL ERECT
HOSPITAL HERE
One of Jefferson’s dire needs
a hospital, will be supplied this city
by one of its most unselfish, patrio
tic and beloved citizens, Mrs. Morris
Bryan, Sr.
In the last issue of the publication
of the Jefferson Mills, The Mill
Whistle, Mrs. Bryan makes this
statementt:
“In 1916 I came to Jefferson as a
bride. In the intervening years, I
have shared my husband’s deep
interest in the Jefferson Mills and
the people connected with that en
terprize. This interest will always
continue and I wish to carry out my
husband’s plans for the future.
“It was his desire to contribute a
sum of money, through the Welfare
Association, to be set aside for the
building of a hospital on the hill
overlooking the recreation area.
Therefore, I plan to give, during the
next few years, the amount of
money which he desired to be used
for this purpose. It is my sincere
hope that the hospital, which will
be a tribute to his memory, will
soon become a reality.”
After the unexpected and sad
death of Morrs Bryan, Sr., his two
sons, Morris Bryan, Jr. and South
worth Bryan, have operated the
Jefferson Mills and other enter
prises with the same success that
characetrized the efforts of their
father. Both these young men are
graduates of Georgia Tech, and were
otherwise well equipped for the re
sponsibilities which devolved upon
them. Since they have been in
charge of Jeffersons largest enter
prise, they have had the advice and
cooperation of their mother. Now,
she purposes to carry out plans of
Mr. Bryan, Sr., in the building and
equipping of a hospital which will
be of incalcuable service to Jeffer
son and community.
We congratulate Mrs. Bryan for
this unselfish service.
