The Garden Island, Lihue, Kauai, Tues., 5-18-1915
JONES, MARGARET D.
MISS JONES DIED ON THE LUSITANIA.  It has been definitely established that Miss 
Margaret D. Jones, formerly connected with the Lihue hospital, went down in the 
wreck of the Lusitania. The Advertiser of Honolulu gives the following history of 
Miss Jones in the Islands:  Miss Margaret D. Jones, one of the best-known trained 
nurses in the Islands, is the only passenger from Honolulu now believed to have 
been drowned in the destruction of the Lusitania. A cablegram received yesterday 
by James Wakefield confirmed his previous message that Mrs. Mary Wakefield, his 
sister-in-law, had been rescued but placed Miss Jones among the missing whose 
bodies have not been recovered. Miss Jones came to Honolulu in the latter part of 
1895 with Dr. John Brodie, who opened a private sanitarium on the site where the 
Moana Hotel now stands. When he died the following year, she removed to Queen's 
Hospital where she was one of the staff of nurses until May 1, 1901. At that time 
she resigned in order that she might return to England for a special course in her 
profession. After she had completed the course, she came back to Honolulu and for 
a time took special cases. Later she left private duties to become head nurse of 
the Lihue hospital, Kauai. Returning to Honolulu again, she took charge of the 
Kaiulam home for girls in King Street. At that time, Mrs. Wakefield, a widow in 
broken health, sought a traveling companion to take her back to her home in 
Birmingham, England, Miss Jones was with the family of Mrs. Clarence Cooke. Being 
English herself, the offer appealed to her and she accepted it. Miss Jones had 
relatives living in Darlington, England, and a married sister in Quebec.
