probably a permanent invalid; she suffered
severely from typhoid fever, and her life was in peril in the summer of
1864.

MRS. MARGARET BOYER, a native of Philadelphia, the wife of a
sea-captain, but in very humble circumstances, and advanced in years,
was also one of the faithful untiring workers of the Union Saloon, but
like Mrs. Lowry, lost her health by her care of the Gettysburg wounded,
and those from the great battles of Grant's Campaign.

MRS. PRISCILLA GROVER and MRS. GREEN, both women about sixty years of
age, were constant in their attendance and remarkably faithful in their
services at the Saloon. Our record of these remarkable women of advanced
age would be incomplete did we omit MRS. MARY GROVER, MRS. HANNAH SMITH,
MRS. SARAH FEMINGTON and MISS SARAH HOLLAND, all noble, persevering and
efficient nurses, and strongly attached to their work. Nor were the
younger women lacking in skill, patience or activity. Mrs. Ellen B.
Barrows, wife of the Chairman of the Saloon, though blessed with more
ample means of usefulness than some of the others, was second to none in
her untiring energy and persistency in the discharge of her duties both
in the hospitals and the Saloon. Mrs. Eliza J. Smith, whose excessive
labors have nearly cost her her life, Mrs. Mary A. Cassedy, Mrs. Kate B.
Anderson, Mrs. Mary E. Field, Mrs. Emily Mason, Mrs. Anna A. Elkinton
and Mrs. Hannah F. Bailey were all notable women for their steady and
efficient work in the hospitals and Saloon. Of Mrs. Mary W. Lee and her
daughter, Miss Amanda Lee, we have spoken elsewhere.

Miss Catharine Bailey, Mrs. Eliza Helmbold, Mrs. Mary Courteney, Mrs.
Elizabeth Horton and Misses Grover, Krider and Field were all useful and
active, though their duties were less severe than those we have
previously named.

The Cooper Shop Saloon was smaller and its work consequently less
severe, yet, as we have seen, the labors of Miss Ross in its hospital
proved too severe for even her vigorous constitution, and she added
another to the long list of blessed martyrs in the cause of liberty.
Others there were in that Saloon and hospital, who, by faithful labor,
patient and self-denying toil, and great sacrifices, won for themselves
an honorable place in that record which the great day of assize shall
reveal. We may not know their names, but God knows them, and will reward
them for their deeds of mercy and love
