Clara Gould - Nursing school


Clara Gould, at the age of 19, lived in Sacramento and attended nursing school. A 1996 brochure indicates Clara Gould was a graduate of the class of 1913 from Mater Misericordiae. This was Sacramento’s first private hospital, which was opened by the Sisters of Mercy at 23rd and R Steets. This 30-bed hospital formed the foundation upon which Mercy’s thriving six-hospital regional system is now based (1950). It opened its doors in 1897.

This is not a very clear photo, but in my opinion, Clara very much resembles her granddaughter, Nancy.
