Paris Nurses for Overseas

PARIS, March 23. – Three Paris young ladies have been appointed nurses for the overseas forces – Miss Dorothy Jefferson, Miss Kate Graham and Miss Marian Heath. They are all trained nurses and for some time past have been very anxious to leave for overseas to do their bit for their country. It is chiefly through the instrumentality of J.H. Fisher, M.P., that their wishes were granted. They will leave for the old country very soon.

Death Claims Distinguished Paris Nurse – Nursing Sister Graham 15 Years in Military Service – Served Four Years Overseas During Great War

PARIS, February 8. (From our own Correspondent) – A distinguished nursing career and 15 years of service in military hospitals, including four years overseas during the Great War, was closed on Saturday with the death of Nursing Sister Catharine Moffatt Graham, a former resident of this town, at Christie Street Hospital, Toronto.

The popularity of the late Miss Graham with her colleagues and with the men at the hospital was attested by the attendance of more than 100 patients and members of the staff of the hospital at a service held in Ross Craig’s parlors, Toronto, last night, prior to the removal of the body to Paris, where a semi-military funeral was held this afternoon with interment taking place in Paris Cemetery. In attendance at the Toronto service were Colonel Charles McMane, superintendent of the hospital; and Dr. T.A. Carson and Dr. O.G. Little of the medical staff. Reverend Sidney Lambert, hospital chaplain, and Rev. P.M. MacDonald, of Bathurst United Church, of which Miss Graham was a member, officiated.

Miss Graham was the daughter of the late Francis and Mrs. Graham, of Paris, and graduated from the Roosevelt hospital, New York. She is survived by five sisters, Mrs. Walter James, Mrs. William Carliss, Galt; Elizabeth St. Louis; Margaret, Toronto, and Christina at home in Paris.
