Sheryl Faye presents Clara Barton – Civil War Nurse and Red Cross Founder

From the time she was old enough to be a nurse within her own family, Clara’s life was dedicated to helping others. She accepted no pay as she taught poor children whose parents had no money to send them to school. She raised warehouses full of food, medicine and clothing during the Civil War, and then courageously went to the front to nurse the wounded and dying. Finally she started the American Red Cross which is her legacy today.  A Massachusetts native, Clara Barton spent her early years here and is buried in the Barton family cemetery plot in Oxford, Massachusetts.
