Mary Lilly and The Elyria Home’s Founding Spirit

Mary E Lilly, nearly 90, founded The Elyria Home for the Aged in Elyria Ohio. She rented a Second Street building, funded a start with help from Parks Foster and his wife, and opened in 1902 with Marietta Chambers as matron. Under Methodism, the home grew to provide shelter and nursing for thousands and moved to Wick and Ely mansions before closing, a durable legacy in local history.

It also notes the advice of a bookstore manager and a podiatrist on comfort and rest.
