It was found by the trustees that the sum named in the 
will (namely, $450,000, of which $250,000 was postponed tobe 
paid out of the residuary estate after final settlement,) was 
inadequate for the proper maintenance of the hospital, and 
the trustees therefore decided to postpone the opening of the 
institution until the accumulation of the endowment would 
furnish a sum reasonably commensurate with the cost of oper- 
ation. 
The hospital was formally opened for the reception of pa- 
tients on October 1, 1910, and since then has been maintained 
at practically full capacity. A training school for nurses is a 
part of the hospital. 
The officers are: C. L. Snowdon, president; A. M. Scully, 
vice president and counsel; E. H. McKinley, treasurer; N. P. 
Hyndman, secretary. 
The board of trustees consistes of C. L. Snowdon, A. M. 
Scully, E. H. McKinley, N. P. Hyndman, J. Stuart Brown, 
H. H. McClintic, George P. Rhodes. A. L. Humphrey and F. 
A. Leovy. 
SEWICKLEY VALLEY HOSPITAL 
The idea of a hospital for the Sewickley Valley originated 
with the Ladies’ Aid Society about 1902, was temporarily 
dropped and revived about 1905, when Mr. and Mrs. Henry 
W. Oliver generously gave over four acres of land as a hos- 
pital site. This acted as a great stimulant and enabled the 
project to go forward. The building was dedicated July 20. 
1907.

George E. McCague, president; W. L. Clause, vice-president ;
