"This home is founded on my
sincere belief that those who have lived honest, industrious lives and are without means
or friends to care for them, have earned the right to be cared for. Only through the
labour and expenditure of others is it possible for business and professional men to
succeed; therefore it is the duty of the strong and successful to care for the deserved,
aged poor."
-Thomas Plant, who died in 1941
destitute and penniless
