Heroic devotion amid illness and public concerns in 19th century PA
A touching account centers on Miss Kate Pfleeter who contracted smallpox while caring for her affianced Owen J. Carney in Camden Iron Works. Pfleeter’s selfless nursing led to exposure and her decision to enter a hospital, while Carney’s illness prompted deep community sympathy and prayers. The piece also covers local politics, school funding debates, and public notices about taxes payable by corporations, reflecting broader concerns of governance and civic duty in the era.
