Estate of Dorothy and Elmer Eade

Mr. Eade, born in King City in 1911, was a 1929 graduate of King City High School. Upon graduation, he worked for Associated Oil Co. and on his family's ranch for many years. Mrs. Eade, also a King City native, was born in 1913. Upon graduation from King City High, she went on to attend San Jose Hospital's nursing program, and later worked as a Registered Nurse (RN) for the King City and Mee Memorial Hospitals in King City.

Thanks to the generosity of the late Elmer and Dorothy Eade of King City, deserving nursing students at Hartnell College are able to pursue their dreams of becoming members of the nursing profession. Mr. and Mrs. Eade, who died in 2002 and 2000, respectively, established a $600,000 scholarship endowment that has benefited Hartnell nursing students
