Miss Barton's Career.
A native of Massachusetts, where
she was born seventy-four years ago,
Miss Barton's life work began with
the Civil War, when she gave up all
thought of any other occupation and
consecrated her life to the services
Of her fellow men. Her first expert
ence in the field was at the battle Of
Bull Run. Undaunted by the sight Of
blood, the cries and groans Of the
wounded, or the shrieks Of the dying,
this angel of Mercy" continued In
her good works during the whole Of
that long and bitter struggle. Aside
from her services in behalf Of the sick
and wounded soldiers, she was keenly
alive to the necessity Of a better sys-
TEN of Identification for those Of the
dead who, for lack Of time, were hur-
riedly buried. To this end she devoted
all Of the time which could possibly be
spared from her other duties.
Miss Barton's labors in this connec-
ton were so valuable as to claim recog-
milton from Secretary Stanton, who
called upon her to go to Andersonville
and assist in the Identification of the
dead that suitable stones might be
erected to mark their graves. Through
her fundamentally many thousands Of
buried soldiers were dls1nterred, iden-
titled and tenderly placed In marked
graves.
In the Franco-Prussian War,
For a time after the close Of the war
Miss Barton lectured upon her work
and experiences among the boys in
blue. Overwork brought on a severe
illness in 1869, from which she suffer-
ed a long time, afterward going to
Switzerland for a much-needed rest
But grim war seemed ever at hand to
claim her attention. With the break
ing out of the Franco Prussian trouble
she was asked to join the Information
al Red Cross Society in its labors on
the battlefield. There she DISTINGUISHED
herself again by her remarkable ex-
ecuhye ability, as well as by faithful
work among the sick and wounded
At the surrender of Metz she gave
practical assistance, and was of inesti-
mable service at the close Of the siege
Of Paris. AS a result of her labors
Miss Barton was decorated with tho
Iron Cross by the Emperor and Em-
press of Germany.
After her return to America Misc
Barton worked for years before finally
securing the adoption of the Red Cross
treaty by the United States in 1881.
Miss Barton distributed relief in tho
Russian famine of 1892, headed an ex.
petition in the Armenian trouble Of
1885, and at the request of President
Mckinley carried relief to STARVING
Cuba in 1898. She did personal field
work in the Spanish-American war
and conducted relief work at Galveston
after the great tidal wave.
