Lodi Woman's Heroic Death
(Santa Clara Journal, Nov 6)
Santa Clara has been robbed of many of her noble citizens in this dreaded epidemic of Spanish influenza, but no death have we chronicles with more sincere regret than that of Mrs.Adeline Phillips, which occurred yesterday morning at the O'Connor sanatarium.
Since the outbreak of the epidemic Mrs. Phillips has been one of the faithful volunteer workers of Santa Clara. She gave her services from the first day there was a call for help, and never ceased in her efforts to relieve those in need until last Friday morning, when she was forced to leave the bedside of a patient, sheer exhaustion compelling her to give up the work.
Mrs. Phillips was immediately taken to her bed and later in the day removed to the O'Connor sanatarium, where she passed away peacefully.
Mrs. Phillips was one of God's noblest creatures, for she died a martyr to charity. In her work she was modest and quiet, and sought those cases where the surroundings were humblest. She went about her work unostentatiosly, and only those in the closet touch with the epidemic knew of the wonderful work this brave woman was accomplishing. We cite just one occasion where she remained in one of the humblest homes in town for several days with the entire family of twelve confined to their beds, thinking not of herself and the sacrifices she was making, but centering every effort upon relieving the suffering of the patients under her care.
To Mrs. Phillips the town of Santa Clara owes a debt of gratitude, for she sacrificed her life to the work in an effort to check the spread of the disease. Her noble deeds will stand as a monument to her memory, for there has never been a more self-sacrificing resident in our community. Truly, she was a martyr to charity.
