New Hospital
Building is
"A AMemOriaI
Board OF Directors Vote
To Call Nurses Home
And Training School
The G. Layton Grier
Building.

To honor the memory of DR. =
Layton Grier-and to express the
genuine gratitude Of this entire
community in tangible way for
the great public service which he
gave during his lifetime to the es-
tablishments operation and future
OF The Milford Memorial HospitaI-
the Board of Directors at it's meet
ing last week was unanimous in
its decision to name the new edifice
for the Nurses Home and Train.
ing School, now about to be COM
pleted, "The C. Layton Grier
Building.
Over twenty-five years ago DR.
Grier foresaw the absolute need
which this large community would
have today for this completely
modern training school and home
for nurses. Under his leadership.
many thousands of dollars were
raised during these twenty-five
years from this area to provide
the funds that would be necessary
for this project And, there are
many in this community who can
recall his often-expressed deter
mination to accomplish this worthy
objective.
Unfortunately, DR.. Grier could
not live to see the erection and
dedication of the beautiful new
building now in the last stage of
construction. But by 1914 he had
accumulated over $25O,O0O, which
he invested wisely, awaiting the
day when the building might be
started. And without DR.. Grier's
effort, it is altogether reasonable
that we might not have either this
new school for nurses or our mod
ern hospital.
Under these circumstances, there
fore, the entire Milford community
will approve the decision of the
hospital board to give Dr. Grier's
memory this well-deserved recog-
milton.
The new Grier Building will be
, dedicated early in 1858.
