Medical missionary in China, born at Skibbereen, Co. Cork, Ireland in 1885. She early heard a call to missionary service, but in deference to her father's wishes deferred going to China with the WMMS until she was 30. She studied medicine at University College, Cork, earning several distinctions, and graduated in 1913. After an internship in Glasgow she went in 1915 to the Jubilee Women's Hospital in Hankow (now Wuhan). Between 1923 and 1926 she adopted three Chinese children whose mothers had died. She remained at her post through the political upheavals of three decades, and for short period was held by the Japanese in a 'camp' at Chungsiang. Being on furlough between 1941 and 1943 she escaped being interned by the Japanese. On her return she was stationed at Chungking (now Chongqing), where she earned the respect of the respect of the Communist authorities. She left China in 1957, and for some years lived in Canada. She returned to Ireland in 1957, and died at Cork in 1975. Throughout her life she gathered nothing superfluous, and her possessions fitted in one much-travelled trunk. Her influence on the Chinese church was considerable.
