Brevard will soon have
greatest need—a hospital, acconl-
ing to announcement made here
Wednesday by Dr.. C. L. Newland
and Dr. C. E. Cunningham, wiio
will have charge of the in.stitu-
tion.
Interested people have been
striving for some time to get a
hospital located here, the Wo
man’s Bureau taking an active
part in the work. Present plans
call for use of the Norwood house
on Probarte street for the new
hospital, with other locations be
ing considered.
Dr. Wexler Smathers, retired
dentist, of Asheville, has purchas
ed the old Mills place north of
Brevard, and plans to erect
en room brick bungalow on the
property at an early date, accord
ing to Lewis P. Hamlin, who han
dled the deal in which the 60-acre .
tract lying on both sides of the ‘ staff of Patton Memorial^ hospital
highway between Brevard and ’ ---- - - -
' Lyday Memorial has been se
lected as a name for the hospital,
this name being chosen as a
mark of recognition for the won
derful work that has been done b.y
the Lyday family in this county in
the medical and surgical profes
sion. One ward in the new insti
tution will be known as the Lyday
Memorial ward, and will be fitted
out by Dr. W. M. Lyday, of Bre
vard, in honor of his father, Dr.
Andrew J. Lyday, and his brother.
Dr. A, E. “L” Lyday, both of
whom gave a life of service to tho
people of this section.
All doctors of the community
will be invited to use the Lyday
Memorial hospital facilities, there
by making of it a real community
proposition. Community interest
will be further accentuated by rea
son of the fact that citizens of tho
county realize that to be a suc
cessful tourist and camp center,
adequate hospital facilities must
be provided.
The two surgeons who will head
the institution are both well-
known men of their profession,
and are recognized as outstand
ing in their work. Dr. Charles L.
Newland, who is a member of the
Pisgah Forest, was sold by Lam
bert Bagwell to the Asheville bus
iness man.
Dr. Smathers, it is announced,
will use the residence as a sum
mer home, and will do extensive
beautification of tl\e place. A pri
vate water system which is sup
plied from the mountain west of
the property is already erected.
