The specific purposes, as stated in the bequest are: To provide matching funds to the City of Oxford for the purchase of equipment, real estate or buildings that cannot otherwise be purchased with available funds. To provide funding for educational programs designed to educate the youth of the community on such topics as "good government," leadership, substance abuse, race relations, and child abuse. To provide grants of up to $5000 per year, for a maximum of 10 years, to the McCullough-Hyde Memorial Hospital, Oxford, OH.
