From the "Hastings MN Gazette," March 16, 1912:
"...later coming to Hastings with her parents. May 17, 1893, she entered the Novitiate of the Sisters of St. Francis, at Joliet, IL, and for nineteen years taught without missing a day: two years at Washburn, Wis., four years at Chicago, one year at Galion, O., eight years at Mansfield, O., and almost four years at Bayfield, Wis. In the latter school she taught the seventh and eighth grades with marked success, and was greatly beloved by her pupils.
From the "Bayfield County Press," March 8, 1912:
"All Bayfield people, and especially the members of the local Catholic parish, are mourning the death of the Venerable Sister M. Beatrice Raway, of the local Convent, Sisters of St. Francis, which occurred Sunday evening last in St. Joseph's hospital in Ashland.
"The body of the deceased was brought to Bayfield from Ashland Monday morning and was accompanied from the depot to the Convent by a long cortege of sorrowing Sisters and pupils of the Parochial school, in which institution the deceased was a leading spirit, beloved and admired by all..."
"Interment was made (following the solemn Requiem High Mass) in Calvary cemetery, and the great esteem and respect in which the beloved Sister Beatrice was held by Bayfield people, was evidenced by the large number who accompanied her to her final resting place...
"Sister Beatrice had charge of the seventh and eighth grades in the Parochial school of this city, and her work has always been of such good quality as to bring praise from all sides. Her amiable disposition, kind and loving sympathy, devoutness to her Maker, all endeared her to everyone with whom she met... Sister Beatrice was a good Christian woman, may her soul rest in peace with the care of her Heavenly Father."
"Sleep sweetly, tender heart, in peace.
Sleep, holy spirit, blessed soul,
While the stars burn, the moons increase,
And the great ages onward roll.
