A true disciple of Florence
Nightingale, with a wealth of
knowledge of modern day med
icine, was Mrs. Russell Kirby,
whose death occurred last
week on Thursday. For much
of the four years Mrs. Kirby
was invalided, spending her
time at home with good care
and in hospitals, hoping to inn
prove her health, but all to
no avail and the end was a
release from suffering. Those
who were fortunate enough to
have known her and called
her friend, appreciated her fine
character and enjoyed her
friendship. Many will recall
her kind administration to
them as she did all there was
to do for their better health,
and their comfort.
