 THE AGE-HERALD
xK AaJtc

Mrs. Amelia Litten, one of Flor ence's old residents, who recently died in her wiN named Florence to be presented with a gift of S5,000. The will stated that this money had been given the city for a suitable memorial to her memory, so that the name of Litten and Florence might not be- come separated In the future.
 The will failed to designate spe- icfic type of memorial but stated that 1t was to be a suitable statue to the rsme of Litten, either a public school to be known as the Litten school, or a home for the nurses of the Eliza Coffee Memorial hospital to be known as the Litten Home for Nurses. The choice between the two types of me- morials was left entirely to the city and after a period of consideration it has been decided by the commits sioners to erect or acquire a suitable home for the staff of nurses and stu dent nurses engaged at the Eliza Cof- fee Memorial hospital, and that the home shall be known as the Litten Home for Nurses.
 The Coffee hospital was esta blished in 1919, when the need for such an es- tablishment was acute. Sickness was everywhere at that time and hos pital was imperative.
 o O O
 Bears Mrs. Coffee's Nnme.
 The Florence Land company at that time was erecting a modern apart ment house and through the influence of the Chamber Of Commerce and sev- eral other institutions and private cit izens they were induced to abandon their plans for an apartment house and. instead, turn the completed build ing into hospital. Mrs. Amelia Golf fee, wife of Gen. John Coffee, came to the assistance of tho hospital and made one of the most generous gifts In many years, that of S5,000 to be used in further establishing this hos pital, and through respect and ap- preciation of this public spirited ao- tion came to be known as the Eliza Coffee Memorial hospital.
 Its success and public service has become an invaluable factor in the community life. It's need was ap- parent and hardly had It's doors been opened when the entire house was filled with patients. and there was still greater demand for same.
 The nurses have been lodged in quarters near tho hospital, and have been forced to move on different oc- casions because of the hospital not owning the property and when the Litten Home for Nurses Is completed no one will be any happier than the nurses themselves. Plans have not been completed yet, but in the imme- diate future the Litten Home for Nurses will he an establishment for the citizens to point to with pride.
