Scanned copy of a 1900 book about Sister Mary Gonzaga Grace, Superioress of the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. The older Catholic nun was in charge of the sister-nurses who staffed Satterlee Hospital during the Civil War. In the three-quarter length portrait, she is seated with her right arm resting on a book and is wearing a white cornette as part of her religious habit. Two sets of rosary beads and crucifix crosses are visible in the photograph.
