MISS IMAH LEOFORD

Daughter of Mrs. Mary Ledford
FIANCE KILLED IN ACTION
News of Death was Cause of Ut
ter Physical Collapse
Miss lin.ili Feilford, nurse in the
U, S. A., died in Hase Hospital
No. 111!, in France, about Octo
ber !). Miss Ledford was one of
the first of Oregon women to vol
unteer to go to France, anil was
stationed at Vancouver several
weeks last Spring, and then sent
to Camp Lewis. In Augusl she
started for New York. Upon ar
riving at that city she received a
litter unmiiiiif iug the death of
her (in nee, Corporal Andrew
Copeuiau, IS. Co., Fourth U. S.
l-.ngineers, killed in action, July
IN, at the battle of the Mann-.
Miss Ledford collapsed w hell she
received the intelligence, but in-
sistetl on lakllig l in- steamer
V . I
Miss Imah Ledford, U. S. A.
across to France to go into active
service. Upon her arrival at the
American Nurses headquarters.
she was compelled to go to Base
Hospital No. lit! after it few
lays, and death ensued. Then-
is no ipiestion but the shock of
the news of the death of her fi
ance caused her to go into a
physical decline, as she had never
been ill a day since reaching
womanhood.
Miss Ledford graduated from
St. Mary s Academy in music,
and then took training as a nurse
at St. Vincent's for a vcar, and
finished at the Multnomah Hon
pilal. While at St. Vincent's she
mi l Corporal Copemau, and they
became engaged. When the war
broke Copemnn enlisted with the
I'.ngineei s and was sent to I-ranee
ai-ly. When the volunteers were
, If 1 f I
askeil lor nurses, .Miss i.cillorn
responded, and when she crossed
he expected to meet him.
Corporal Copetnan was a civil
engineer anil architect, anil at
one time maintained olliees al
Milligan, Neb.
The dead nurse was a general
favorite, and was the daughter of
Corporal Andrew Copemnn
the late Geo. T. Ledford, a Civil
War Veteran. She is survived by
her mother, Mrs Mary Ledford
and the following brothers and
sister: Geo. H. Ledford, an engi
nef-r with the Carnation Co., of
this city; II. I). Ledford, attach
ed to the Portland Riding Acad
emy ; Mrs. Win. II. liagley, of
Watts, above 1-orest Grove, and
Grover Ledford, with the U. S.
Hospital service in France. The
latter Miss Ledford also hoped
to meet in France.
Deceased was a member of
Gen. Ransom Relief Corps, of
Ilillshoro, and that organization
will hold memorial exercises in
her honor.
Hillsboro's first news was that
ir:? . ii
11
L 1
Mrs. Ledford had received a tel
egram announcing death from
shelling ut the front, but tliis wits
error. The inteljigenee came in
the following letter:
"I know you will be notified
officially of the deal It of your
daughter, but thot you might like
to hear from some one writing
just as a friend to express the
sympathy of us here nt 11(5. As
soon as vour daughter arrived
here she was sent to the ward
w here we have our nick nurses,
for she was feeling ill, ultlio she
thoughl she would be all right in
the morning. She had a nurse
both day and night, so you see
she had every attention, and ev
erything possible was done for
her. She did not appear very
sick to my inexperienced eyes
the first two days she was here,
when I went up and talked to
her, and when she did become
seriously ill she lapsed into un
consciousness, tier tiiricral was
held in the Nurses Hut, the big
room - has gray walls, white cur
tains at the windows and over
hangings of rose, grav and blue
cretonne. The casket w as at one
end, draped with the American
Hag, on which rested three
wreaths of F.nglish ivv, tied with
red, white and blue ribbon. At
the head stood the beautiful silk
flag of our unit, its folds draping
mil seeming to caress the casket.
At one side a table was laden
with bouquets of asters, autumn
eaves and a field of (lowers that
the girls had gathered as their
tribute. A table at the other
side, draped in white, formed the
lt.tr, back of which stood Dr.
Dodd, the otlieiating clergyman.
The morning was cloudy, but as
the clergyman started 'I am the
Resurrection and the Life the
sun streamed thro the windows
mil glorified the colors in the
Hag and the flowers. The nurses
sang 'God Will Take Care f
You" and 'Still, Still With Thee.'
And the lines 'Still will it he, at
last on that bright morning.
When the day breaketh and life's
shadows flee' have never before
meant so much to me. As we
went from the Hut to the grave
our Dietician, whom we call
Mother, said: 'Wasn't it beauti
ful? It almost makes yon want
to have your funeral here in
France to see one so beautiful.'
A company of soldiers eseort
d the ambulance with the cask
et, the officers at either side and
the nurses in an ambulance and
w alking at the rear. So we. pro
ceeded thro the little village and
over the bridge to our soldiers'
emetcry on the hill overlooking
the famous river. As the flag-and-flower
covered coffin was
lowered into the grave all stood
al attention while the bugler
sounded 'Taps'
Your daughter's effects went
to the army, but Miss James gave
her ring and eadusis to Miss
Phelps, chief nurse of a base near
here, who was .superintendent of
the hospital where Miss Ledford
trained, and she will give them
to you on her return to America.
Words are but futile things with
which to express deep sympathy,
but please know how much we do
sympathize with you all. The
best consolation must be to feel
that she died for her country
our country just as truly as our
boys on the battle-field. Yours
Very Sincerely, Flora S. Curtis.
