On May 12, 1959, a group of dedicated volunteers organized to form Stewart Memorial Community Hospital Auxiliary. Mrs. S.M. O’Connor was the first president of the group of 49 members. Dues were set at $1 and remained that amount well into the 1990s. The organization of the Auxiliary came almost three years before the opening of Stewart Memorial Community Hospital and was a part of the community fund raising effort that made the hospital possible. The first Auxiliary bazaar in 1959 raised $350.
