Description	The Augusta Free Hospital for Children of St. Louis, Mo. was incorporated in 1884 to care for children with orthopedic ailments. In 1890 the name of the institution was changed to the Martha Parsons Free Hospital, in recognition of the generous contributions of Charles Parsons to the endowment fund as a memorial to his wife. By 1910, the hospital had outgrown its buildings at the southwest corner of Channing Avenue and School Street. Lacking the funds for building a new hospital, the Martha Parsons Free Hospital affiliated with the St. Louis Children's Hospital, which was already planning the construction of a new, modern hospital building.
