"The Blevins family has sometimes been openly Jewish. Bertha Blevins, a
declared Jewess, married Moses H. Cone, who was born in Jonesboro,
Tennessee, in 1857. She endowed the Greensboro (N.C.) Health Care System
upon her death in 1947."

Moses H. Cone from History of Western North Carolina by Jeffrey Weaver

He died childless and intestate; but his widow, Mrs. Bertha Lindau Cone, and
his brothers, and sisters, Ceasar Cone and wife, Jeannette Cone, L. N. Cone,
Julius W. Cone, Bernard M. Cone and wife of Guilford county; Frederick W.
Cone, Moses D. Long and his wife, Carrie Cone Long, of Buncombe; Sydney M.
Cone and wife, and C. and E. Cone of Baltimore, Md., in May, 1911, in
recognition of "the deep love and lasting affection" for the people of
Watauga of Moses H. Cone, conveyed to the Cone Memorial Hospital, a
corporation of Guilford county, the whole of the Flat Top Manor and three
smaller tracts which had been acquired by Mrs. Cone since her husband's
death-the entire propety, aggregating 3,517 acres-to be called the "Moses H.
Cone Memorial Park,"
