In the capacity of nurse, she attended the late editor of the Enterprise, E. L. Tiffany and also Wm. Leach during their last illness and no doubt contracted the dread disease in the performance of her chosen work. She was an estimable lady and an excellent nurse who endeared herself tot those with whom she was associated by her tender ministration and faithful devotion to those of whom she served. The entire circle of her acquaintances sincerely regret the loss of a noble woman and devoted friend.
