HER LIFE WCRK AND ACHIEVEMENTS rt SKt < lli l of the- Career of an Art- Istle- Woman villli a MHNIIII | Hint Mir Well Pri-roriurel. Only the briefest announcement has been made In the papers of the death of Sister Mary Dnnilcn , who died In the Mother House at Dubuiuo | a few ilajs ago. There are thou- sandi'of men nnd women In this vicinity who have more than n parsing Interest In the cn- notinccment , for during almost a generation she has had the care and training of wmo of the brightest youth of Council Bluffs and Omaha. Per nearly n epiartcr cf a century she lived and Ubortd In tills community , a large portion tion of the time ns sitter superloresD of St PrnncU' acaJcmy. A few jcurs ago her health became nffcctel. The management of the educatlcnal Institution here Involved too much wcrk for her , but she was devote ! to It and icluctiint to give It up Those who were working with her tuw tint her time on earth was bhort and Piey lovingly pleaded with her to go to the Mother House for .needed rcot , where she could &tlll oxerclto her talcnta by teac'ilng art to the novitiates and obtain the nee lei ] rest , in wlilch alone lay hope of her recovery. Tl.o dUcaso prosrcsi-od In spite of all that could bo done nnd the sis ter iasi < od away , working until almost the last day and conscious up to the last mo ment. Sls'cr ' .Mary cime to Council Hlults in the cjrly part of the 70s nnd took up her work ns a lay sli'lor ' In St Prancls academy. She was splendidly fitted by culture and nature for educational work. She wis a talented aitlbt nnd for moie than twenty yoirs she wau the art Instruetieus nt the academy After fevcral jcnrs ns a lay worker t-hc Joined the community nnd was soon advanced to the pot'ltlcn of Euperlorcas. The responsi bility came at a most critical time In the history of the Institution. The academy had been moved from the humble starting point on Vine street Into the present buildings. The giounels had been beautified. evcr > thing about the building was new and bright nnd the slaters were as proud of their beautiful prop- crt ) as they were devoted to their work The overflow cf the Missouri rver In the great flood of 18S1 surrounded them with seveial feet of ovvlft. muddy water , dcstrojed their grounds and filled the lower portions of the buildings A > ear or two later the great brick structure was raised Hx feet and the pre cnt beautiful grcunds created and the danger cf another Hood forever removed. Slbter Mary waa not satisfied with the academy as it existed. She longed to have a greater institution further away from the city A tract of land was purchasx-d In the hills north of town Ileforo her health failed she had tie project of building well under way , the plans for a great structure drawn , the contiacts rcadj to let and the building slto selected und grade 1 It lu a most beau tiful location Eclected by a vvomin of finest artistic pcrccpticnt' , and If It Is ever built It will bo one of the most commanding aim conspicuous ohjectu In the city. St. Prancls academy Is one of the monuments ments Sister Mary left behind. There are others that are not as conspicuous , but they will endure ns long as the human hearts Keep warm. In which are consecrated the memories of the elster's tunny life and torch ing. The walls of the ncademy today are aderned with her work , and bcneatb two of the pictures are hanging the blue and gold ribbons announcing the award of merit by the art commissioners nt the World'a fair. Three of her pictures , a St. Ceccllan nnd n chlld'D head In oil and n lamlocapo In water color , drew much attention nt the Columbian exposition nnd won medals. They occupy now conspicuous pla"co In the art studio at St. Krancls. There are liundreda of i eoplo In Council muffs and Omalu who cherish the memory of the sweet-faced sister with a love that is nkln to reverence.
