While Hinckley's goal -- and primary interest -- was to help boys who were orphans or those whose parent or parents could not adequately care for them, it soon became apparent that some girls also needed a place like Good Will.

Smith Cottage, a residence for girls, opened in 1897.

Soon, some 30 girls lived at Good Will Home.
