MRS. THEILE 1
PASSES AWRY j
EARLY TODAY
“Florence Nightingale of ihe
North" Is Dead—Gives
Birth to Boy Baby.
Mrs. Mary Theile, wife of Karl |
Thelie, Surveyor General ami Seore-j
tary of Alaska, passed on at 4:110;
o'clock this morning at St. Ann's
Hospital, from post partum hemorr
hage, following the birth of a nine
pound baby boy at 4 o’clock. Mrs.
Theile suffered little pain. Shortly
after the birth of her son she real
ized the joy of motherhood as she
clasped the tiny mite of humanity
to her breast, her face aglow with
happiness. before beginning her los
Ing fight to live. 8he was in the
hospital only one and one half hours
before her son was born, having been
taken there at 2:30 o’clock from the
Theile home on the Highway.
The baby is in the best of health
and Is in the care of Miss Cornel
ius, trained nurse, at the hospital.
Mrs. Theile was one of the best
known and most loved of women In
the North. A trained nurse by pro-j
fession, she spent a number of yeaisi
in Alaska in the service of the U. j
S. Bureau of Education and by her,
fearlessness in going where all others j
held back, to give aid to the sick1
and needy. Her name has long been
known in this country and in the
Slates as the “Florence Nightingale
of the North.”
Born In Montana
Mrs. Theile was born at Deer
Lodge, Montana, in 1889.
She lived most ol her life in the
West and about eight years ago went
into training for a nurse at Provi
dence Hospital, Seattle. For a num
ber of years she made her home in
Seattle with her father, John Conley,
who had moved to that city, and her
step-mother, her own mother having
died at her birth
Mrs. Theile was married in Juneau,
March 19, 1922 at the Governor’s
House to Karl Theile. She spent a
short time at the local government
hospital here the previous Fall and
gave her service in the Kuskokwim
and Bristol Bay districts through the
winter
Driving dog teams over the snows,
making her way in an open boat
down the dangerous rivers of the
Kuskokwig) ^ country, Mrs. Theile,
when she was In the government ser
vice as a nurse, a few years ago,
fought all obstacles to bring health
and happiness to the Indians. During
the influenza epidemic in the north
west country she was an untiring
worker and underwent untold hard
ships to save the lives of the men,
women and litttle children who
placed all faith in her care of them.
Grisf Is General
There are those elsewhere than in
Juneau who will grieve her loss to
this world. In Seattle where she
is known for her work, and in the
North, are many friends. In the In
terior and along the various parts
of the Southwestern coast of Alas
ka, her passing will be a shock of
grief, leaving saddened hearts.
Perhaps no more human shock
was felt in Juneau today than the
nnnount of the death ot Mrs.
Theile.
Public compassion goes out to the
husband. Mrs. Theile during her resi
dence in Juneau, as a nurse In the
government hospital, then as one of
Juneau's matrons, became beloved by
all those fortunate to come in con
tact with her personally.
As the nurse In the sick room,
her care always tender, her person
ality appealing, she gave confidence
and won that which only sympathet
ic administrations could attain.
As the matron of her home, she
was a hostess rare, a home body
effusing hospitality. Her friendship
Was sought, it was given and re
mained. Her ways were those In
stantly gaining that human compion
■hip, which made her Immediately
a friend, one proud to have friends
and one who was accepted as a real
friend.
Funeral Tomorrow
Mrs. Theile la survived by her
father and her step mother, In Seat
tle and an uncle in Montana.
The funeral services will be to
morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock at the
Governor’s House. Dr. 8. Hall Young,
Presbyterian General Missionary In
Alaska, who has followed the trails
of the North in work of service, as
did Mrs. Theile, and who was her
friend, will read the burial service.
Flags on public buildings in Ju
neau went to halt staff this morning
when Mrs. Thelle’s death became
known.
