The Matilda Hospital was named after the wife of the late Mr. Granville Sharp?

Mr. Granville Sharp came to Hongkong in 1858, being employed in one of the Banka. He later became à broker and invested largely in land. On the death of his wife, Matilda, In 1893, he expressed a desire to provide hospital neeom- modation for the deserving poor, and approached his cousin with a view to combin- ing resourees for the purpose. . The latter, however, did not

feel inclined to join in.

On the death of Mr Gran. ville Sharp,, however, Jt was found that he had left an ca- tate of over a million dollars, the residue of which was to go towards the founding of a hospital to be called after his wife's Christian name.

In his will, Mr. Granville Sharp named the locality for Hospital, this being the Mount Kellett. The site was purchased for $70,000, and the Hospital was completed in 1906.
