THE OLD FOLKS’ HOME
Rev. John Albert Williams,
Editor The Monitor,
Omaha, Nebraska.
Dear Sir:
For some time I have been giving
consideration to the needs of the Old
Folks’ Home. This institution needs
the attention of the general public. I
made a trip to the Home to find out
the conditions. One would have a
dlfrerent feeling were he to make a
tour of inspection. Ak you know the
milding is old and badly In need of
epair. The location is bad and doubt
less was not taken Into consideration
at the time of buying. While it Is
equipped with a heating plant It is
lot so piped that It can be relied upon
'n cold weather to furnish sufficient
heat for the old people that are living
there. The living rooms on the sec
->nd floor are occupied by the inmates
and the matron has to live on the
main floor using a cot or davenport
due to the size of the home. There
have been some minor improvements
since the homU was* bought. The
board Is due much credit for the good
work that has been done but I feel
that I could be of much service were
i a member of that board.
I have noticed how poorly the balls
given for the Home have been attend
ed and am of the opinion that If an
earnest appeal was made to the gen
eral public it would have some bear
ing. There has not been enough co
operation and it might be that the
“object” has not been fully explained
to the public. I feel that the public
would attend and the proceeds could
be used to buy a supply of food for
the winter.
The Home has three Inmates and a
matron and is overcrowded. I have
not gone into the full details of how
the Home is maintained but feel that
it Is a worthy cause and needs the
■o-operation of every race loving Ne
gro in the city of Omaha. For years
it has been my pleasure to send out
supplies on Thanksgiving and Xmas
and I have planned the same this
year. I know that others feel as I
do about the Home and believe that
we can get together and make this
Home one of which we all should feel
proud. I do not know the number of
members on the board but am willing
o offer my service to the board as
a member if there is a vagancy and
the laws of the institution will not be
violated by my appointment at this
time.
I would not advocate the buying
or building of another Home at this
time, as building material is on the
upward trend but that is what is real
ly needed. If the members of the
board feel that my appointment as
a member would be beneficial I offer
•ny services.
Faithfully yours,
JOHN BROOMFIELD.
