intelligence of her death, met and passed resolutions expressive of
their high esteem and reverence for her who had been their faithful and
untiring friend, and deep sympathy with her friends in their loss.

FINAL CHAPTER.

THE FAITHFUL BUT LESS CONSPICUOUS LABORERS.

So abundant and universal was the patriotism and self-sacrifice of the
loyal women of the nation that the long list of heroic names whose deeds
of mercy we have recorded in the preceding pages gives only a very
inadequate idea of woman's work in the war. These were but the generals
or at most the commanders of regiments, and staff-officers, while the
great army of patient workers followed in their train. In every
department of philanthropic labor there were hundreds and in some,
thousands, less conspicuous indeed than these, but not less deserving.
We regret that the necessities of the case compel us to pass by so many
of these without notice, and to give to others of whom we know but
little beyond their names, only a mere mention.

Among those who were distinguished for services in field, camp or army
hospitals, not already named, were the following, most of whom rendered
efficient service at Antietam or at the Naval Academy Hospital at
Annapolis. Some of them were also at City Point; Miss Mary Cary, of
Albany, N. Y., and her sister, most faithful and efficient nurses of the
sick and wounded, as worthy doubtless, of a more prominent position in
this work as many others found in the preceding pages, Miss Agnes
Gillis, of Lowell, Mass., Mrs. Guest, of Buffalo, N. Y., Miss Maria
Josslyn, of Roxbury, Mass., Miss Ruth L. Ellis, of Bridgewater, Mass.,
Miss Kate P. Thompson, of Roxbury, Mass., whose labors at Annapolis,
have probably made her permanently an invalid, Miss Eudora Clark, of
Boston, Mass., Miss Sarah Allen, of Wilbraham, Mass., Miss Emily Gove,
of Peru, N. Y., Miss Caroline Cox, of Mott Haven, N. Y., first at
David's Island and afterward at Beverly Hospital, N. J., with Mrs.
Gibbons, Miss Charlotte Ford, of Morristown, N. J., Miss Ella Wolcott,
of Elmira, N. Y., who was at the hospitals near Fortress Monroe, for
some time, and subsequently at Point Lookout.

Another corps of faithful hospital workers were those in the Benton
Barracks and other hospitals, in and near St. Louis. Of some of these,
subsequently engaged in other fields of labor we have already spoken; a
few others meri
