A "Training School for Nurses" was established at St. Joachim's Hospital in May, 1905. In 1926, St. Joachim's School of Nursing became Mercy Hospital's School of Nursing. The list of graduates is from a booklet "Mercy Hospital School of Nursing, Watertown, New York 1905-1970". The booklet was graciously given to me my Sister Ellen Marie Robarge, R.S.M., who is the archivest for the Sisters of Mercy in Harsdale, NY. The list consists of maiden and married names: 1907 Sister Mary Elizabeth Clifford, R.S.M. Sister Mary Loyola Ruddy, R.S.M.

Nurses in the pictures are as follows: 1908 Mollie Carey Alice Donihee Anastasia McCann Margaret McPhail Myrtle A. Shaver Elizabeth Hogan (she is in the picture but absent from the list of graduates) 1909 Marion Bates Mary L. Benson Sarah Fitzgerald Lillian Quinn I will be more than happy to send copies of these pictures if anyone should desire them. Kathy Flynn Simons |
