SKETCH OF CAREER
OF NOTED WOMAN
Achieves Reputation That
Places Her Name Among
the Greatest Women of
Modern Times.

WI ASHINGTON, April 12.-Mis:
NM Clara Barton, founder OF the
" American Red Cross and
probably the most widely
known American woman Of her day
died at her home, Red Cross, in Glen
Echo. Nd. this morning at 9. o clock.
She was 90 years old.
Miss Barton suffered an attack of
pneumonia in February, 1911, had re-
lapse and the disease became chronic.
She went last summer to her old home
in Oxford, Mass, and returned to Glen
Echo in feeble health last autumn.
Muscular weakness Of the heart de-
veloped and for weeks the condition of
the nurse had been such as to cause
grave concern. Her mind was un-
dimmed almost to the last and her
ready wit and quick repartee made her
sick room place of cheer.
With her when the end came, were
her nephew. Stephen Barton of Boston,
and DR.. J. B. Eubbell.
The great regret of Miss Barton IS
last month was that her enfeebled
condition made it necessary for her
to suspend work on her autobiography
She had brought this work down only
to the beginning of her public career
as a civil war nurse.
woman whose whole training fos
tered precision, she left behind prac-
tically the entire correspondence Of her
public career as well as other data
bearing upon her international hospital
work and the work which she herself
began will be completed by other
hands.
She had outlined to her nephew.
Stephen Barton, the salient points OF
her public life.
The last years of the great Red Cross
nurse had been spent in retirement.
She maintained her winter home at
Glen Echo. but passed part of each
summer at her birthplace in Massachu-
setts, She retired from the presidency
Of the American Red Cross in 1904 and
since then had had no affiliation with
the organization of which she had been
the head since its establishment large
" through her efforts more than thirty
years ago.
Members of her household were reti

withdrawal from the work, contepting
