Eighty-seven years ago today, Mercy Hospital was sold at auction to the highest bidder. J.D. Reid had pledged the facility as security several years before, and the scandal that undid the Commercial Bank also dragged the struggling Mercy under. Oliver N. Freeman had signed the deed of trust transferring title.
The hospital soon reopened under new ownership.

Reid, was involved in a lot of endeavors, I see.
Rather too many.
I changed the hyperlink, by the way, to one that leads to a post about Commercial Bank.
