![]() In her will, she gave her 6 Franklin Street residence, plus a shop, a barn and the land thereof to the Town of Marblehead. The value at that time was approximately $3,000. She got the idea for establishing an emergency hospital when the trolley line first ran down Franklin Street and she feared that people injured by the trolley would have no place to seek treatment. In 1921 a hospital named in her honor was opened with six beds in the old wooden structure. 29 years laters the Town voted to build a modern hospital on Widger road at a cost of $60,000. The new Mary A. Alley Hospital, also named in her honor opened in May of 1953, with 16 beds and a maternity ward. -- Harry Wilkinson Photo Collection |
