Clarissa "Clara" Harlowe Barton (December 25, 1821 – April 12, 1912) was a pioneering nurse who founded the American Red Cross. She was a hospital nurse in the American Civil War, a teacher, and patent clerk. Nursing education was not very formalized at that time and Clara did not attend nursing school, so she provided self-taught nursing care.[1] Barton is noteworthy for doing humanitarian work at a time when relatively few women worked outside the home. She had a relationship with John J. Elwell and received three proposals throughout her lifetime, but never married.[2]

Although Clara Barton is buried in Oxford, Massachusetts. located in Sherborn, MA and adjacent to the Massachusetts Woman Prison is a cemetery named after Her. This at one point that was the Sherborn Prison but is now Massachusetts Correctional institute in Framingham, MA and still a woman's prison. Clara Barton had done a lot of work with the Woman inmates during Her lifetime. The section of Sherborn where the prison is located was acquired by Framingham but the cemetery remained in Sherborn. I drove by that prison often as a member of the Sherborn Police Department while on patrol.

Clarissa Harlowe "Clara" Barton (1821- 1912) was a famous American nurse and humanitarian who organized the American Red Cross.
Thanks for letting us know that Christmas Day is the anniversary of the birth of pioneering nurse Clarissa "Clara" Harlowe Barton who founded the American Red Cross.
She learned much from the effort of Florence Nightingale who ministered to the soldiers of the Crimean War. Since Florence Nightingale pioneered as woman nurse, Clara was able to leverage that in our Civil War.
Clara Barton advocated many aspects of care for the wounded and ill in the Civil War.
Rest in peace Clara Barton.
