Margaret Smith Home One of City s Most Attractive Institutions
Among the most Interesting and Mary N. Lemon, Mrs. Alice Dilks,
attractive institutions in Richmond is the Margaret Smith Home for 'Aged Women which is situated at the corner of Seventeenth streets. In 1888 the Home was founded by a fund left by Margaret Smith and was incorporated in 1901. For several years the Francis Rob inson home on South Fifth street was used for this purpose. Twenty years ago the McQuinney home was purchased. When the institution was first founded there were Ave women living in it. Later on when it was moved it had a capacity of 12. Two years ago the house north of the Home was purchased and an annex was built which now makes it possible for 18 women to live there. In addition to the sleeping rooms there are two parlors, a dining room and a sun parlor, which connects the house with the annex. Large windows make the house cheerful. The women in . the Home have a small library to occupy their time, as well as a Vlctrola. ' Most of them have fancy work, mending, piecing quilts and other forms of sewing to do. Many of them make spending money by doing this work. Martha Rice, matron, said that many of them do beautiful work In fancy work and all kinds of mending. Each member of the family has a duty which she performs each morning. One woman ' dusts one parlor,
another, another parlor, and one won
man who has been living at the home for 17 years' has" been ironing the table linen. When she first came to the home she asked for this duty. The linen is done beautifully.. Each woman -who wishes to do so may do her own ironing. They take care of their own rooms. The oldest woman at the home is 87. Each one who is admitted must
be over 60 years of age. One woman who was matron at -the
Margaret Smith Home for 19 years is now a member of the family and is 81 years old, and according to the matron is the liveliest one there. A Janitor cleans the house each week and takes care of the lawn. One cook is employed for the home. Three meals a day are served and everyone has all she desires. The food is simple, nourishing and well cooked. Visitors are welcome at any time. The members of the Board of the Home are Mrs. E. G. Hibberd, Mrs. Elizabeth Barnes, Miss Eleanor Robinson, Mrs. Demas Coe, Mrs. Benjamin Johnson, Mrs. Mary .V. Price, . Mrs
Mrs. Grace Weller Mrs.'Penina True
blook; Mrs. Helen L. Dougan, '- Mrs. Annie S. Beeson, Esther Perry ' and Airs. Emma Unthank. Mrs. Josephine Comstock and Mrs. T. B. Hill are honorary members of the Board. Dr. M. F. Johnston Is House physician. ( i . ; The Board of Trustees Is composed of Clem Gaar, president; A. L. Smith, vice-president and secretary, and Atwood L. Jenkins, treasurer.
