| These four members of the America Congregation, an Indian sisterhood, nursed during the Spanish - American War at Camp Onward, Savannah, Georgia. They are shown with their Chaplain, the Reverend Francis Craft. The four sisters are, left to right, Sister Josephine Two Bears, Sister Ella Clarke, Sister Bridget Pleets, and sister Anthony Bordeaux. Sister Bordeaux died in Cuba and was given a military funeral. Sister Bridget Pleets treasured to the end of her life the apron on which dying soldiers had written their names and addresses so that she could write to their relatives. | |||||||||||||||||||
