"Infection Contracted While Caring for Patient, Causes Her Death"
A loser in her last fight with death, Mrs. Carrie A. Cole, 57, registered nurse, died at Memorial Hospital at 3:20 Friday afternoon, a martyr to her profession. The funeral is to be held at her home, 416 North Water Street, at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon. Rev J. Twyson Jones will officiate and burial will be in Oak Hill Cemetary. Mrs. Cole, a graduate nurse of the first classs of student nurses to be trained at Memorial hospital, receiving her diploma in 1924, was one of the most highly regarded of her profession in the commkunity. Taking her training with a group of young ladies many years her junior, she nevertheless took the whole course, and graduated with honors. Since her graduation, both in her work as a member of the nursing staff at Memorial hospital and since she took up private nursing, her services have been most in demand, for she was known to be not only capable and efficient, but possessed a personality that endeared her to her patients.
"A mastoid case was under Mrs. Cole's care in December, and she was fighting for the health of her patient as valiantly as she later fought for her own recovery. Infection of a finger started from her patient, entering through a break in the skin that was hardly noticeable at first. The poison spread, however, to the hand, and then to the arm.
"A month after she was first taken ill, on December 27, she submitted to an operation in an effort to check the spread of the poison, the arm being amputated between elbow and shoulder. The amputation was followed by a falling of her temperature, and it appeared that there was some chance for improvement, but so utterly exhausted was she that she gradually failed until her death Friday.
"Every effort was made to save Mrs. Cole. The entire medical staff of the hospital did everything that could be done. Blood transfusion was resorted to, and two nurses were with her constantly. The disease was fought every inch of the way, but in her exhausted condition the patient could not rally sufficiently to outwit death, as she had outwitted it many many times while a nurse watching through the night by the bedside of her patients.
"Mrs. Cole was born in Genesee county, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Whitmore, on February 28, 1869. She went to Nebraska with her parents at the age of 12, and remained there for several years. She was married, in 1898, to William Cole, in Durand, and has lived in the county since that time. Surviving are the mother, Mrs. A. J. Whitmore, three brothers ...
