Description
Summary:The hospital was really his brain child but he did something quite unfair and quite unexpected, he removed mother Alfred from her position as head of the congregation, uncomplaining mother Alfred took personal charge of the St. Mary's Hospital. In time to come men may raise shafts of stone and piles of bricks to the memory of William and Charles Mayo, but so long as their spirit endures in the clinic they created they will have a monument more fitting a living memorial in their own image. In their own time and over the years the St. Mary's hospital grew into what is called the Mayo clinic almost the size of a small city, but tucked away somewhere among those giant buildings the old St. Mary's hospital still-stands where surgeons go from all over the world to pay homage to the memory of the two brothers William James and Charles Horace Mayo.
