The Ellen M. Leach Memorial Home was founded in 1996 as a result of a trust created in 1926 and the determination of the Taylor family.
In 1926, Mabel W. Tyrrell, a widow with no children and daughter of Ellen M. Leach, composed a will which among other things established a trust for the lifetime benefit of various nieces and nephews. The named executor and trustee was Amos L. Taylor and the trust was initially funded with approximately $50,000. The trustees were directed to found and maintain a home for the aged and infirm in Brewer, Maine; name the home the Ellen M. Leach Memorial Home; and develop the home within 25 years of the last surviving niece or nephew.
In 1989, John and David Taylor became the new trustees as well as the last surviving kin passed. John and David Taylor reformed the provisions of the trust to a tax-exempt charitable trust. After several trips to Brewer, Maine, a successful joint venture between the Taylors and Brewer Housing Authority officials resulted in the extraordinary Ellen M. Leach Memorial Home.
Ellen M. Leach resided for several years in Brewer, Maine. Ellen M. Leach and Mabel W. Tyrrell are buried in the family plot at the Oak Hill Cemetery on South Main Street in Brewer, Maine.
