Mother Angela, of the Holy Cross Sisters, was one of the most devoted4 nurses in any of the orders that served during the civil war. She was a woman of high birth and considerable refinement5. She came from a well-known Pennsylvania Irish family—the Gillespies. It was from this family that James Gillespie Blaine was so named. She was a cousin of the illustrious man, and was also related to the Ewings and the Shermans. Her parents migrated from Pennsylvania to Illinois while she was quite young, and her education was received at the Academy of the Visitation, in Washington, D. C. Mother Angela always had a high regard for Blaine. She was intimately acquainted with the details of his early life and his home at Brownsville, Pa. To those in whom she placed great confidence she frequently 268 gave touching6 incidents of the young man’s early career, and on more than one occasion she repelled7 slanders8 which were no doubt implicitly9 believed by the public at large. She became connected with the Holy Cross Sisters many years before the war. When the first gun was fired at Sumter Mother Angela was in charge of a flourishing school at South Bend. When the need for nurses became pressing this was given up, the scholars returned to their homes, and the Sister teachers volunteered their services to those in charge of the hospitals. Mother Angela was sent out by the Very Rev. Father Sourin, Superior General of the Congregation of the Holy Cross, whose head house was at Notre Dame10, Indiana.
The following is an extract from the Circular Letter issued October 21, 1861, by Father Sorin, who was the founder11 of the Sisters of the Holy Cross in the United States:
“My Dear Daughters in Jesus Christ:
“Among the distressing12 features of the times I am glad to convey you some consoling news, for, however much we deplore13 the distracted state of our country, we find a gratification in being able to assuage14 some of its sorrows....
A most honorable call has been made on your community by the First Magistrate15 in our State, asking for twelve Sisters to go and attend the sick, the wounded and dying soldiers.... The call has been unhesitatingly responded to, and this afternoon six Sisters of Holy Cross started for Paducah. Six more start within a week.... They are all chosen from a large number of volunteers; and if we judge of their sentiments by the joy with which they have received their selection, we have reason to believe that they duly appreciate the honor and favor bestowed16 upon them. 269
“It is well known that in the Crimean War the Sisters of Charity literally17 covered themselves with glory before men, and, doubtless, with merits before God. When the record of our present struggles will be handed down to posterity18 will it not be a source of joy for the Church to be able to show, in every rank of society, many a glorious name generously sacrificed for the rescue of the country?
“But why should we be left out of the list? If the Standard of the Cross, under which we have enlisted19, knows no enemies among men; if our objects, on the contrary, is to rally them all under the precious emblem20 of our salvation21, our little army stands arrayed against the enemy of mankind, the spirit of darkness, and all the evils and the wounds which he has inflicted22 on humanity. Hence, wherever there is a pain to soothe23, a pang24 to relieve, a bleeding heart or limb to treat or dress, there is a field for us to enter, under pain of deserting our noble banner.... What a joy it would bring to the apostolic heart of our venerated25 founder (Father Moreaux) to hear of this heroic act of charity undertaken by this little vanguard of his company in the New World! It is in his name I have blessed them, and they may rest assured that while they follow the fortunes of the battlefields of the nation, he, like Moses, will be praying for them on the mountain top. We, too, shall persevere26 with him in prayer in their behalf. In all our Houses there shall be offered for them a General Communion every Saturday, that they may fully27 discharge the important trust they have received.”
Mother Angela met many of the great generals of the war, and they all united in declaring her a woman of marvelous executive ability. Besides this she had many other accomplishments28 of a high order. Although she was the Mother in charge, she gave her personal attention to many of the patients. On several historic occasions she waited upon Confederate and union soldiers at the same time. 270 “Johnny Reb,” as he was facetiously29 called, and the “Yank” would lie in cots side by side, with the peaceful face of Mother Angela between them. Often men lying helpless on their backs would get into heated disputes over the relative merits of the war, and but for their physical disability would have done each other violence. The Sisters alone possessed30 the power to quell31 these quarrels, and they did it with all the tact32 and diplomacy33 becoming their gentle natures.
The story of the first meeting between General Grant and Mother Angela comes from an eye-witness of that historic episode, and can be vouched34 for as strictly35 correct. Grant was just then beginning to develop the traits of a leader, which were to mark him later as the greatest captain of his time. His headquarters were in an old brick building that had formerly36 served as a bank in Cairo. Mother Angela came to this place to report for duty to General Grant. She was accompanied by the late Dr. Brinton, an honored physician of Philadelphia, and Rev. Louis A. Lambert, D. D., LL. D.22
LEE, JACKSON AND BEAUREGARD.
Dr. Lambert, who was to act in the capacity of chaplain, escorted Mother Angela into Grant’s presence. The great Captain was seated at a desk behind the iron bars, which had evidently been formerly used by the cashier of the bank. He was writing with the air of a man who was absorbed in his task and unconscious of his surroundings. 271 An ordinary cheap pipe was in his mouth, and every now and then he mechanically blew forth37 a cloud of smoke. The characteristics of the man so well-known in later years were just as pronounced then. The people all around him were plainly agitated38 with the thought of the great war that was about to rage in all its fury. He sat at his work calm, silent, and with an imperturbability39 of countenance40 that was sphinx-like. Dr. Brinton, who had been one of the first to suggest the Sisters, introduced Mother Angela to Grant. The General came out from behind the iron grating with his head bare, and, taking Mother Angela’s hand, gave it a hearty41 shake. The pipe he had been smoking was temporarily laid aside. There was a moment’s silence, and then Grant, looking at his visitor with a pleasant smile, said:
“I am glad to have you with us, very glad.”
There was a pause for a second, and then he added:
“If there is anything at all I can do for you I will be glad to do it. I thoroughly42 appreciate the value of your services, and I will give orders to see that you do not want for anything.”
After a few more minutes of general conversation, in which Dr. Brinton and Father Lambert joined, Mother Angela and the Sisters started for their mission at Mound City. In later years General Grant frequently expressed profound admiration43 for Mother Angela, not only as a nurse, but as a woman of unusual ability.
Grant about this period in his career was one of the most interesting characters of the war. It is curious to note the various estimates of his character. The following extract from a letter written from the “front” during the 272 closing months of the war furnishes a striking pen picture of the man:
“In his manners, dress and style of living Grant displays more republican simplicity44 than any other general officer in the army. In manner he is very unassuming and approachable, and his conversation is noticeable from its unpretending, plain and straightforward45 style. There is nothing didactic nor pedantic47 in his tone or language. His rhetoric48 is more remarkable49 for the compact structure than the elegance50 and finish of his sentences. He talks practically, and writes as he talks, and his language, written and oral, is distinguished51 by strong common sense.
“He seldom indulges in figurative language; but when he does his comparisons betray his habits of close observation. He dresses in a careless, but by no means slovenly52 manner. Though his uniform conforms to army regulations in cut and trimmings, it is often like that of Sherman—worn threadbare. He never wears any article which attracts attention by its oddity, except, indeed, the three stars which indicate his rank. His wardrobe when campaigning is generally very scant53, while his headquarters train is often the smallest in the army. For several months past he has been living in a log hut of unpretending dimensions on the James River, sleeping on a common camp-cot, and eating at a table common to all his staff, plainly furnished with good roast beef, pork and beans, ‘hard-tack’ and coffee.
“It is related of the General that when the march to the rear of Vicksburg began he announced to his army the necessity of ‘moving light,’ i. e., without extra baggage. He set an example by sending to the rear all his baggage except a green briar-root pipe, a tooth-brush and a horn pocket-comb. The story of his appearance in the Senate chamber54 in February last is still fresh in the minds of the public. He had no sooner left the hall after paying 273 his respects to the Senators than one of the Democratic members rose and asked the consideration of the Senate upon what he termed the evident and gross mistake which had been made in appointing Grant a Lieutenant55 General, and declared it to be his opinion that ‘there was not a second lieutenant of the Home Guard of his State who did not “cut a bigger swell” than this man who had just left their presence.’”
Mother Angela’s party after leaving General Grant had quite an experience in reaching their destination. The wagon56 which had been detailed57 as their conveyance58 broke down when they were half way thither59, and there was some difficulty in patching it up sufficiently60 to finish the journey. But it was done, and the Sisters eventually reached Mound City, and began their work of mercy in the hospital located there. Sister Ferdinand was a fellow laborer61 with Mother Angela at this time. Father Lambert, the chaplain, attended the Post Hospital at Mound City and said Mass at 4 o’clock in the morning for the benefit of Mother Angela and her Sisters.
There was one incident that was kept quiet and which did not become generally known until after the war. Small-pox was raging at the time, and one of the brave Sisters was stricken down. She was hastily stowed away in a garret of the hospital building and a special guard placed over her. She recovered, and after that devoted herself to nursing others with even more zeal62 than she had shown before she was stricken down. Ordinarily small-pox cases were sent to the pest house, but in this instance the tenderness of the Sisters would not permit them to part with their afflicted63 colleague. It was against the rules, to be sure, but who can blame the Sisters for this merciful 274 breach64 of discipline? It is only proper to state that the case was so isolated65 that not one of the twelve hundred patients was affected66 even in the remotest degree. One who was in the hospital at this time says that he is not certain but that the Surgeon General knew of the hidden case.
There were between 1200 and 1400 patients in the hospital, and all received the kindest care and attention. Mother Angela served through all the war, winning extraordinary distinction for tact, diplomacy and faithfulness.
The official communication written by Commander Davis after a battle on White River, June 17, 1862, indicates that Mother Angela was not unknown to the authorities.
U. S. Flag Steamer Benton, Memphis, June 20, 1862.
Hon. Gideon Wells, Secretary of the Navy.
Sir:—The number of men on board the hospital boat Red Rover is forty-one. The account given me yesterday was incorrect. I shall still wait for further knowledge before presenting a final report of the casualties attending the capture of the St. Charles forts. The Department will be gratified to learn that the patients are, most of them, doing well. * * * Sister Angela, the Superior of the Sisters of the Holy Cross (some of whom are performing their offices of mercy at the Mound City Hospital), has kindly67 offered the services of the Sisters for the hospital boat of this squadron when needed. I have written to Commander Rennock to make arrangements for their coming.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully your obedient servant,
CHARLES H. DAVIS,
Flag Officer Commanding Western Flotilla.

The Catholic Mirror, under date of November 8, 1862, records the following:
“A fourth colony of these devoted Sisterhoods has set forth on its mission of mercy, to serve in the hospitals of Washington, as they already serve so faithfully at Memphis, Cairo and Mound City. The Hospital of St. Aloysius, erected68 in a week by Catholic charity, fired by the zeal of the dead Jesuit Fathers, call them to its succor69; and they, fully responding to the holy fervor70 which built these hospitals from the very overflowings of love to God and of reverence71 for the tabernacle in which dwells the Holy of Holies, will fill up the measure of these by ministering to the wants of the sick and sorrowing and forlorn, the objects of His love who died on Calvary, and renders daily His sacrifice for their success, and the holy temple thus saved by piety72 from desecration73.
“Who has not heard of the Jesuit Fathers? Their fame has spread throughout the earth; and yet so silently they work, so sublimely74 concealed75 their burning zeal, that but for an occasion like the present, when the influence they possess over the human soul manifested itself by a simultaneous impulse that cannot be repressed, they for the most part live a hidden, unobtrusive life—a life which makes the surer the good they invariably effect—for near 400 years the devoted sons of St. Ignatius toiled76 like their founder in striving to hide from the world the individuals who achieved a good that will not be hidden; and it seems a sort of sacrilege to withdraw the veil that hides this good even partially77 from the world. When we think of what the Jesuits have done through long ages, our heart burns, our spirit fires, and in our heart of hearts perceive that men who do good in every age, without being tainted78 with the spirit of any age, demand from us reverence and not praise.
“When, then, we heard of the last demonstration79 of zeal, of Catholic zeal, stirred up by the Jesuit Fathers, we 276 felt no extraordinary surprise, we manifested no extraordinary exultation80; a tranquil81 happiness stole over us; we thanked God that St. Ignatius still lived in his sons, and that, great as was the work of building St. Aloysius Hospitals in six days, a far greater work, though a more hidden one, is being daily, hourly, performed by these devoted soldiers of the Church.
“But, meantime, the hospital of St. Aloysius is a fact; in Washington, hospitals to form a refuge for the sick, measuring six hundred feet by twenty-six, are in actual existence, erected spontaneously by Catholic charity, and purposing to be watched over also by Catholic charity, for the Sisters of the Holy Cross are already on the way to take charge of such inmates82 as this unhappy war shall bring within its precincts.
“May they prosper83 in their mission at Washington, as at Memphis, Mound City and at Cairo; may they bring balm to the wounded heart as they bandage the wounded limb; and may the blessings84 they bring to others react upon themselves to enable them to lead more and more fully the life of recollection every true religious covets85, even while pursuing the apparently86 distracting occupations of attending the sick and wounded! In bringing to the bedside the comforts of a soul in constant and habitual87 communication with God, by the faithfulness in which are performed the religious exercises prescribed by the rule, a Sister of Holy Cross can scarcely fail to dispense88 treasures far more valuable than the gold and silver of the world.
“How many are the souls aided in their passage to eternity89! How many reclaimed90 from a life of sin! How many taught to bless the temporary suffering which brought them acquainted with the peace that passeth all understanding! The annals of these deeds are hidden now; but on the Day of Judgment91 they will stand forth and praise the religious, who, by her spirit of prayer, was enabled to perform these ‘miracles of the soul.’” 277
The following communication, signed “P,” and addressed to the editor of the New York Tablet, on April 12, 1862, is interesting, not only in particularizing the order in question, but in affording another glimpse of Mother Angela:
“In your issue of the 22d I find a notice of the military hospital at Mound City. There is a mistake in that article which I am sure you will willingly rectify92. The Sisters who are in charge there are not the ‘Sisters of Charity;’ they are the ‘Sisters of the Holy Cross,’ from their Convent of St. Mary’s, St. Joseph’s County, Indiana. Under the direction of their Superioress, Mother St. Angela, these pious93 Sisters have had for some time the charge of the hospitals at Cairo, Mound City and Paducah. Upon their arrival, about the beginning of October, all the other female nurses were dispensed94 with, and the Sisters assumed the entire control of the wards95, each Sister having the care of one ward46.
“When it became known throughout the West that Mother Angela and her Sisters had assumed this arduous96 position, hundreds of her friends hastened to forward to her care large supplies of clothing and linen97 suitable for hospital purposes. She even made a journey to Chicago for the purpose of obtaining supplies, and right nobly did the citizens respond to her call. There are now over thirty Sisters there, who are almost exhausted98 by their incessant99 labors; they know no rest night or day. Fourteen hundred wounded men are hourly receiving at their hands such care as can only be bestowed by pious souls who look for their reward not on earth but in heaven.
“It must be a great consolation100 to the relatives and friends of our gallant101 soldiers to know that they are attended on their beds of pain and suffering by such nurses. Wherever a Sister moves she has the prayers and blessings of the poor soldier, and the thanks and gratitude102 of 278 the officers. Beside whatever bed death has laid his hand, there is seen a Sister seeking to alleviate103 the suffering of the patient and to prepare the parting soul for the judgment so soon to be pronounced upon it.”
The following reference to the Holy Cross Sisters from the pen of Father Corby is apropos104:
“Sixty Sisters of the Holy Cross went out under Mother Angela. These Sisters volunteered their services to nurse the sick and the wounded soldiers, hundreds of whom, moved to sentiments of purest piety by the words and example of these angel nurses, begged to be baptized in articulo mortis—at the point of death. The labors and self-sacrifice of the Sisters during the war need no praise here. The praise is on the lips of every surviving soldier who experienced their kind and careful ministration. Many a soldier now looks down from on high with complacency on the worthy105 Sisters who were instrumental in saving the soul when life could not be saved. Nor was it alone from the Order of the Sisters of the Holy Cross that Sister nurses engaged in the care of the sick and wounded soldiers. Many other orders made costly106 sacrifices to save life and to save souls, notably107 the noble Order of the Sisters of Charity. To members of this order I am personally indebted. When prostrate108 with camp fever, insensible for nearly three days, my life was entrusted109 to their care. Like guardian110 angels these Daughters of St. Vincent watched every symptom of the fever, and by their skill and care I was soon able to return to my post of duty.”23
One of the interesting features of the charitable work of the war came to the notice of Mother Angela in the early part of 1864. It was a donation of $1000 from Pope Pius the IX for the relief of the sick and wounded soldiers. Through Cardinal111 Barnabo the Pope expressed to Bishop112 279 Timon, of Buffalo113, his tender sympathy for the sufferings of the many wounded, and requested the Bishop to give, in the Pope’s name, $500 to aid in alleviating114 the suffering of the wounded soldiers in the Northern army, and the same amount for the same object for the Southern soldiers. Bishop Timon gave $500 to Mrs. Horatio Seymour, president of the Sanitary115 Commission, to aid our wounded soldiers, and $500 to Miss D. L. Dix, to be applied116 in procuring117 for wounded Southern prisoners in the hospitals any additional comforts which might be deemed useful.
The following incident concerning Mother Angela’s war experiences is from the pen of Eliza Allen Starr:
During the early days of the war and the hospital service we all know how inadequate118 were the supplies for the sick and wounded; how meagre the equipments for the hospital nurses. A poor, little circular stovepipe served the indefatigable119 Mother Angela on which to prepare with her own skillful hands the early cup of gruel120 for her patients, rising as four, or, if need were, at three in the morning to answer the first call of the sufferers; and the character of the stores provided was such as few could realize one year later. At this time the Commissary Board sent a visitor to the camp and hospital where Mother Angela and her Sisters were stationed. During all these months nothing could exceed the courtesy of the officers, who always shared any choice provisions which came to them with the Sisters, as they supposed, while the Sisters as scrupulously121 passed on to their patients everything which could tempt122 the sick appetite, sharing, in fact, only the rations123 served regularly to the hospital wards. When the Commissary visitor arrived he was duly escorted to the 280 hospital, which excited his warmest approbation124 for its order, neatness, comfort of every sort; but as he was bowing himself out in the most complimentary125 manner from the presence of Mother Angela and her band of Sisters, she said to him: “But, Mr. ——, you must allow us to show you some hospitality. Pardon our lack of silver and porcelain126, but take a cup of hospital tea!” “Thank you, thank you, Mother Angela, but I have taken dinner already with the officers, and need nothing.” “Allow me to insist!” and before another excuse could be urged a Sister appeared with a snow-white napkin and the tincup and spoon of the hospital and—the anything than fragrant127 beverage128 of hospital tea. “Sugar, Sister,” said the sweetly-ringing voice of the gentlewoman, Mother Angela, and before our Commissary visitor could wave off this fresh specimen129 of hospital luxury, Mother Angela had dumped into the tin cup what resembled the scrapings of the molasses barrel more than sugar. Our Commissary visitor was a gentleman from the toe of his boot to the crown of his head, and he drank the cup of tea, well stirred, to its dregs, without a grimace130, bowing as he handed the empty tincup to the Sister, while Mother Angela rubbed her little hands with unmistakable glee, and the full merriment of laughing eyes, as she said: “I knew, Mr. ——, you would wish to taste of our hospital tea!” And the Commissary visitor vowed131 in his heart as he turned from the hospital door that the next train, on his arrival home, should take, as he said in his letter to Mother Angela, such stores to her own and to every hospital under his charge as a Christian132 man could accept without shame from the hand of any hospital nurse in the land.
There was another Sister Angela who was prominent 281 during the civil war, but who was not so conspicuous133 as her illustrious namesake. She is thus referred to in a recent work:24
“Sister Angela became a member of the Community (Visitation Sisters) about 1819. She was one of those characters who convey to the mind the image of a soul of spotless innocence134. She celebrated135 her golden jubilee136 and lived for several years afterwards, retained to the last her full mental faculties137 and childlike simplicity. She was made Superioress of the foundation in Philadelphia. On the breaking up of the house there she was recalled to Georgetown. Then for twelve years at different times she served as Superioress of Georgetown Convent and governed with a gentle firmness and a lovely spirit of forebearance; enduring the many trials incidental to authority with the utmost patience.
“During the civil war her energy and wisdom shone forth especially. She was at that time most generous in trying to aid poor chaplains, and she showed a true zeal for souls in the advice she gave to soldiers who applied to her for help. Her charity was remembered, as the nuns138 of Georgetown had reason to realize not long ago, during the encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, when one of the veterans called to see “Sister Angela,” not knowing she had been dead several years. The veteran gave as his reason for desiring to see her that the angelic Superioress had converted him. Whenever worn out with marching and laden139 with dust, regiments140 halted in front of the Convent during the war, a liberal lunch was served to the weary soldiers, and objects of piety sent out to those who wanted them by Sister Angela.”
