Mercy Hospital Charity Gift Ties Past to Present
Mercy Hospital and its Sisters reflect on a century of aid sparked by a poor man cared for as a charity case. Parisian benefactor Ferris Thompson sent annual gifts totaling 615000 by 1930, sustaining the hospital and Ferris Thompson Hall. The widow Countess De Beau Repaire continued the legacy, with a final bequest of 200000.
