- March 17, 1891, the following bill was passed by the Legislature of Ohio: ?
(house Bill Ncmber 1064.)
AN ACT
To make appropriations for certain purposes therein named.
Whereas, The National Woman's Relief Corps, Auxiliary to the Grand Army of the Republic, having established their National Relief Corps Home for Army Nurses, mothers and widows of Union soldiers of the late war at Madison, Lake County, O., who are now, and who may hereafter be in indigent circumstances, and already having purchased suitable grounds and erected thereon buildings with a capacity for fifty inmates which is already fully occupied; and
Whereas, The charter or deed of said National Woman's Home provided that any or all States may erect upon said grounds a cottage or home for said indigent mothers and widows in each State; and
Whereas, Ohio having been honored by the location of this Home upon its soil, and reliable information exists that New York and other States are only waiting for Ohio to take the lead in this commendable and patriotic enterprise; and
Whereas, The National Woman's Relief Corps, by their charter and deed, stand pledged for the care and maintenance of the inmates of the said Ohio home; therefore,
Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio, that there be and is hereby appropriated out of any moneys in the State treasury to the credit of the general revenue fund not otherwise appropriated, the sum of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) for the purpose of erecting upon the said grounds of the National Woman's Relief Corps Home, at Madison, Lake County, O., one suitable cottage home for the use and occupancy of the indigent mothers and widows of the Ohio Union soldiers, sailors and marines of the late war, said indigent mothers and widows to be admitted under the condition provided by the rules and regulations for the government, and under the management of the Board of Directors of said Woman's Relief Corps Home.
That in order to meet the payments for the construction of said cottage home the Board of Construction hereinafter provided is hereby authorized to issue drafts from time to time as needed, signed by a majority of said board, to the Auditor of State, who shall, upon receipt of the same, issue his warrant in favor of said board of construction upon the Treasurer of State for said amounts.
Sect. 2. The construction, capacity, furnishing and equipment of said cottage or home be and the same is hereby confided to a board of construction consisting of seven members, four of whom shall be appointed by the Governor of Ohio within twenty days after the passage of this act, and the President of the Woman's Relief Corps of the Department of Ohio, together with the Secretary of the Board of Directors of said National Woman's Relief Corps Home, with one more lady whom they shall select, shall constitute the other three members of said Board.
And said Board is required to meet at said Home within ninety days after the passage of this act, to arrange and commence carrying out the provisions of this act.
Said Board shall serve without pay or compensation except actual necessary expenses.
Sect. 3. This act shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage.
(Signed) Nial R. Hysell,
Speaker of the House of Representatives.
(Signed) Perry M. Adams,
President Pro tern, of the Senate.
Passed March 17, 1891.
It will readily be seen that the appropriation was made under some misapprehension, as it is not stated in the deed that any and all States may erect upon said grounds a cottage or home for said indigent mothers and widows in each State; neither was the Relief Corps pledged by their charter and deed to care for and maintain the inmates of the Ohio home any further than they were pledged to care for and maintain the inmates of the Home from other States. Why this position was taken by the projectors of the Ohio cottage I am unable to say, but it has been rather far reaching in its results as any intelligent person can see who will take the trouble to examine carefully all of the facts in the case.
March 16, 1892, a bill passed the legislature of Ohio appropriating the sum of $5,000 for furnishing, heating, lighting and equipping the Ohio cottage. April 16, 1892, another appropriation of $5,000 was made for furnishing the Ohio cottage, but with the proviso that no further appropriation for the same should be made by the General Assembly of Ohio. However, on April 20,1893, the above mentioned bill was amended by striking out the proviso and appropriating $2,500 additional for the purpose of completing and equipping the Ohio cottage. To recapitulate: The first appropriation for the Ohio cottage made by the General Assembly of Ohio in 1891 was $25,000. The second and third of $5,000 each made in March and April of 1892. The fourth of $2,500 made in April, 1893, making a total of $37,000. Of that amount something over $35,000 has been expended on the cottage, but there remains in the hands of the chairman of the Board of Construction, I think the sum of about $2,000. This is the history of the gift of the Ohio cottage to the National Woman's Relief Corps as far as the General Assembly of Ohio is concerned. You will see that the State of Ohio built and equipped this cottage and placed it under management of the National W.R.C. for the use and comfort of the women of Ohio, graciously conceding to our National organization the privilege of using it for inmates from other States until such time as the full capacity is needed for Ohio. These conditions were further agreed upon by the deed of conveyance from the Board of Construction to the Woman's Relief Corps, November 10,1892, and read as follows (giving the names of the Board of Construction conveying the cottage with necessary description and the names of the National officers) "constituting the officers of the National Woman's Relief Corps and their successors in office to be held and managed by them so long as the National Woman's Relief Corps shall continue to exist as an organization for the foregoing purposes to wit, as a home for the use and occupancy of the indigent mothers and widows of the Ohio Union soldiers and sailors and marines of the late war, but it is hereby agreed that the management of this home may occupy any part of the Ohio cottage with inmates from other States until such time as the full capacity is needed for Ohio. When the National Woman's Relief Corps shall have ceased to exist as an organization, or shall cease to use said cottage, its equipments and appurtenances for the purpose named, then the possession, use and management of said cottage, its equipments and appurtenances, the property in and title thereto shall revert to and be vested in the State of Ohio in trust for some benevolent or charitable use, subject to such directions and regulations with respect to its said use, as the General Assembly may by law prescribe." The conditions were accepted by the National officers of the Woman's Relief Corps. By so doing, they have placed the burden of the maintenance of over one-half of the inmates from one State upon us.
In addition to the property donated by the good citizens of Madison and Geneva, Ohio, voluntary contributions were made in the Convention at Detroit, Michigan, to purchase five additional acres of land which seemed necessary for the completion of the grounds. This land is now used for the purpose of raising vegetables for the Home.
