The Passing Bell
Sister Lena Crowther who we regret to record, passed away on Sunday, the 22nd ult., after a long and very painful illness, received her training at the Edmonton Infirmary and left to proceed to India under the Colonial Nursing Association. When illness overtook her the Board of Guardians of the Edmonton Infirmary showed her the greatest kindness and she was nursed by her old colleagues. A memorial service was held in the Military Chapel, attended by the Board of Guardians, the medical and nursing staff and a large body of wounded soldiers. She was interred at Tottenham Cemetery.
