CLAY INFIRMARY THE NEED AND REALIZATION OF A HOSPITAL Before 1892 Mrs. Mary Grayson on Water Street, through the kindness of her heart, took in sick people at $1 .00 per day and cared for them. Her home stood where the Southern Bell Telephone Office building now stands. Then a group of Richmond women got together, fifty altogether, including Mrs. Pattie Amelia Clay, one of the hard workers. She worried about the unfortunate and sick f .eople of Richmond . .Aft~r the death of Mrs. Pattie Amelia Clay, her husband, Mr. Brutus J. Clay, gave an attractive brick cottage and surrounding big yard on Glyndon Avenue to the Women of Richmond in her memory to be used as a hospital. This was in 1892. THE ORIGINAL HOUSE 6 �The original house had six private rooms and a ward that would take care of six patients. A superintendent, a trained nurse, a housekeeper, and a cook were hired . The annual Easter Bazaar was put into effect for securing funds. Women of Richmond made aprons, baked pastries, raised vegetables and these were sold for funds. The dollar membership drive was put into effect at this time, and is still made the second Monday in October. Later, the County Fiscal Court gave $1,000.00 a year and the City $J5.00 per month. THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION The Articles of Incorporation of Pattie A. Clay were written October 22, 1892. The Articles of Incorporation were signed by Mrs. Anne Walters, Mrs. T. J. Smith, Miss Mary M. Smith, Mrs. Samuel Bennett and Mrs. Jason Walker. , THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS The Board of Directors were to be twelve women to be elected, one from each of the seven churches then in Richmond, and the remaining five to be selected by the seven members from the churches. The other five selected by these women were to be called the Association. The Association women were to help make the running expenses of the hospital. The Board of Directors were to meet once a week at the hospital. The Association would join the Board in a meeting once a month. This was continued until 1950 when the Board discontinued the weekly meetings to one meeting a month and then met with the Association for their meeting: The Board and Association elects for each a president, vice president, secretary and treasurer. It has been the policy of the Board of Directors to have a nominating committee from the Board each year and selects the other five women. These women are to be selected from the names of women who give their $1.00 annually to the membership drive. They can be from any church . The first requirement is to give $1.00 each fall to the membership drive. THE FIRST BOARD OF DIRECTORS The first Board of Directors were Mrs. David Chenault~ President of the Association, Mrs. R. E. Turley, First Vice-President, Mrs. Joe Schafhauser, Second Vice-President, Mrs. Margaret Partish, Secretary, Miss Josephine Schmidt, Corresponding Secretary, and Mrs. L. J. Frazee, Treasurer. Board Members from the churches were Mrs. C. W . Clay from the Christian Church, Mrs. James Bennett from the Methodist Church, Mrs. Belle McDowell from the Episcopal Church, Mrs. Curtis F. Burnam from the Regular Baptist Church, Mrs. T. B. Chenault from the First Baptist Church, Mrs. Anna Walters from the First Presbyterian Church, Miss Elizabeth Barret from the Second Presbyterian Church. 7 �THE CLAY FAMILY (Taken from the Clay Family History) Brutus Julius Clay was born in Madison County, February 20, 1847, in the same room in which his father, Gen. Cassius Clay, was born. October 19, 1810. Mr. Clay married ( 1) Pattie Amelia, daughter of Charlotte Elizabeth (Martin) Field and granddaughter of John L. Martin, of Louisville, Kentucky. Pattie A. Field was born November 2, 1848, and died at "Linwood," Madison County, December 23, 1891. Issue: Belle Lyman Clay, Nov. 4, 1872 Christopher Field Clay, Dec. 19, 1874 Orville Martin Clay, May 7, 1879 Mary Warfield Clay, Sept. 26, 1882 Charlotte Elizabeth Clay, May 31. 1889 In memory of his wife, Mr. Clay gave to the Pattie A. Clay Infirmary Association of Richmond, Kentucky, a handsome two-story building with la_rge and ample grounds in which the sick and suffering of the city may find lodgment and care. A beautiful memorial to a lovely woman. Mr. Clay married a second time to Mrs. Lalla Rookh Marsteller, nee Fish, daughter of T. Spencer and Nannie (Poore) Fish of prominent New York and Massachusetts families. Mr. Clay's education was begun under those famous old teachers of the Blue Grass region, Abraham Drake and B. B. Sayre and finished at the Literary and Civil Engineer Departments of Michigan University. While taking an active interest in politics as a Republican, he never held off ice. He was tendered the position of U.S. Minister to Argentine by President McKinley but declined . FIRST SUPERINTENDENTS The first superintendent was a Miss Blake, followed by a Mrs. Layton. Then came Mrs. Mae Bowyer. She was a graduate of Philadelphia Hospital. She helped make her expenses by doing private duty. At that time families kept their sick at home and the only patients were the most unfortunate. She later built the house on Lancaster A venue now owned by Dr. Robert Sory. �Mrs. Elizabeth Scott came after Mrs. Bowyer. She came to Pattie A. Clay in 1921 from Chilicothe, Ohio. strumental in She was in- bringing about the plans for the 1927 addition. HORINE HOUSE In the fall of 1919 the Woman's Colored Hospital was established by Pearl Rankin, Minnie Bennet, Lillian T. Cobb and Ellen Scudder. The hospital was located on First Street in what was known as the Horine House. It was deeded to the Colored Woman's Hospital in August 1920 by Mrs. Lizzy Clay. This hospital was closed in 1936. It was disposed of by sale in 1947. The proceeds of the sale, after settlement of back taxes and other indebtedness, was held in trust by the elected trustees, elected from the congregations of the regular established colored churches of Richmond to be used to maintain the colored ward of the Pattie A. Clay Infirmary. In the spring of 1957, the east wing of the hospital needed a great deal of repair work. Mr. Eldridge Carrier did the repair work for the east wing for the cost of the material and did not charge for his time. The cost was $1,862.68. On May 1, 1957, Mitchell White and Emmett Patton turned over to the Building Committee of Pattie A. Clay, a check for $2,077.67 for the repair work of the east wing. The balance of the fund was used for repairing and buyin_g furniture for the win_g. 9 �PLANS FOR EXPANSION By 1925 Richmond had outgrown the little building and plans for expansion began. Mr. J. W. Hamilton was the fund raising chairman. Seventy five thousand ($75,000.00) dollars was the goal. Sixty five thousand ($65,000.00) dollars was realized. The campaign was started in N ovember, 1926. The planning committee was composed of R. E. Turley, Paul Burnam, A. J. Suit, Dr. H . G. Sandlin, F. C. Gentry, Dr. R. L. Telford, William O"Neal and Allen Zaring.

Saufley and Mr. Keen Johnson were in charge of writing all press accounts in the Richmond Daily Register. Mr. Johnson, who was a young man at the writing of the following editorial, has since served as Governor of the State of Kentucky during the years 1939-1943. �This wntmg is classified by many as a masterpiece. It was written 10 the Richmond Daily Register on September 17, 1927. His editorial follows: "The New Hospital-The new Pattie A. Clay Infirmary, which will tomorrow be dedicated to a mission of mercy is a magnificent monument to the faith and perse verance of those noble women under whose inspiration and leadership hospital facilities that will long be adequate for this community have provided . A hospital equipped to minister to the suffering of those who are stricken is an essential institution. With increased population, added demands for hospital facilities, the original institution, after a long term of noble public service was outgrown. The need of an enlarged hospital modern in conception, complete in construction and equipment, became an obvious need. But raising sufficient money to finance a hospital program ample to meet the immediate and future needs of the community was a task of such magnitude that few considered it contained little probability of success. But most noble tasks at first are impossible. Yet that group of public-spirited wom~n whc compose the Pattie A. Clay Infirmary Association, impelled by an intimate knowledge of the imperative need for increased hospital accommodations, had the courage to undertake a program contained within which are possibilities of prolonged public good. A number of men, inspired by the zeal of the women close to whose hearts the welfare of the community had long lain, joined in formulating a financing program. This community was asked to give sufficient money to provide necessary hospital facilities for those who are stricken with illness. Scores of citizens gave with marked generosity. The spirit of community service and cooperation which characterized the financial campaign was extraordinary. Those who undertook the task saw it through and the splendid structure which is tomorrow to be dedicated to public service has been made possible through the unselfish expenditure of energy and money, commendable cooperative effort from a community that saw its duty to itself and posterity and discharged it handsomely. It has ever been possible to determine the degree of civilization to which a people have advanced by their attitude toward their sick. There is no finer impulse of the human heart than compassion, pity for those who are stricken. But only that pity is genuine which seeks constructively to alleviate the suffering which provokes pity and concern. It is a tribute to the nobler impulses which actuate the composite heart of this community that there has been erected a hospital worthy of the splendid citizenship whose servant it is to be. Into the substantial structure has gone the hopes and prayers of women whose deep concern has been to provide a haven of comfort for those who suffer. As it stands today in its magnificent completeness it represents the realization of a dream that has long been dreamed, the fulfillment of a noble ambition long cherished by those mothers whose sympathies have impelled them to mother the sick and suffering of the community through a hospital wherein every agency for restoration and comfort may be assured those whose bodies are wracked with pain. Tomorrow this hospital is to be dedicated to the sublime service of alleviating pain, of ministering to those upon whom the hand of disease has 11 �heavily lain. It will be a day of dreams fulfilled, a day of realization of hopes long cherished. And with the opening of the hospital those who have given most prodigally of their means and efforts may enjoy the calm contentment which comes with the consciousness of worthy endeavor consummated." BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF 1927 Mrs. George Simmons was treasurer of the Association and 98 per cent of all pledges were paid. She remained on the Pattie A.

Mrs. Hannah was a cousin of Mr. Donald Walker who gave $5,000 to break ground and start the building program off. Mr. Waller Bennett wrote the letters to Mr. Walker and Mrs. Hannah telling them of Madison County's need. Mr. Donald Walker was the son of Mr. Jason Walker of Madison County. He also had a sister, Miss Madge Walker. Through the kinship of their cousin, Miss Emma Watts, Lancaster Avenue, Richmond, Kentucky, the great need for financial support for our present Pattie A. Clay Hospital was told. After a visit to New York City, Mr. Donald Walker sent Miss Watts $1,000.00 for the hospital. This was in October, 1955, and was applied to the 195 5 Tag Day Fund. January 3, 1956, he sent a $2,000.00 check to be added to the fund for a new X-ray machine. At this time he turned over to the hospital a gift of securities. This stock was sold for $10,000.00 and put in the building fund for the emergency, kitchen-dining room area. On June 27, 1956, Carter, Ledyard & Milburn, a legal firm of New York City, revised Mr. Walker's will and drew up a Trust Fund For Pattie A. Clay and a small hospital in Waldo, Maine. The amount was one million, seven hundred fourteen thousand, six hundred forty seven ($1,714,647.00) dollars. The annual income per year is $52,225.00. One half of this �amount is paid annually to Pattie A. Clay and to the Waldo, Maine Hospital. The Pattie A. Clay Trust Fund was to be known as the Walker Memorial Fund in memory of his father, Mr. Jason Walker. The Maine Hospital Fund was to be The Walker Memorial Fund in memory of his mother. Mr. Walker died February 5, 1957. Miss Madge ,Walker died November 15, 1958. She also had Carter, Ledyard & Milburn add to the Walker Memorial Fund. The combined funds of Miss Madge Walker and Donald S. Walker in the Walker Memorial Funds net the Pattie A. Clay Hospital about $43,000.00 annually. OTHER HOSPITAL FUNDS 1. The T. J.

It is to be paid for in services rendered to Eastern University by the Pattie A. Clay Hospital. In 1925 the present Pattie A. Clay stood state1y, proud and strong. Time hasn't been kind to her. The people of Richmond and Madison County haven't always been too kind. She is still an institution of mercy. She is willing to take a back seat to a new hospital. She needs help. Your help and mine. In January, 1966, Watkins, Burrows & Associates, Architects and Engineers, Lexington, Kentucky, were hired to submit plans for this beautiful structure. 28 �May 1, 1966, Ewell T.
