Twenty nine years driving the West Penwith district nursing round, which meant every farm and every cottage from Pendeen to Sennen, in the dark, in the winter, in a Morris. She delivered, nursed or laid out a large proportion of the parish. She died at fifty eight, eight years after her husband and her son both lost the mine, and the family has always half believed those two facts are connected.
