                    AGED SISTER DIES AT ST. VINCENT'S

      Sister Stanislaus In Her 94th Year -- Cared For Civil War Wounded

Sister Stanislaus Coyle, a member of the Sisters of Charity at St. Vincent's 
Hospital, died at that institution at 1:10 o'clock yesterday afternoon. She was 
in the 94th year of her age. Sister Stanislaus before entering the convent was 
Miss Catherine Coyle and was one of the oldest and best known members of the 
Sisters of Charity, having been a member of that order for the past fifty-six 
years.
During the past twelve years Sister Stanislaus was stationed at St. Vincent's 
Hospital where she made many friends. She always had a cheerful word for those 
in the institution as well as visitors to the hospital. Although quite feeble 
from old age she took an active part in the work at the hospital up to two years 
ago, when she retired.
Sister Stanislaus was born in Ireland and came to the United States when quite 
young. During the Civil War she took an active part in caring for the sick and 
wounded at St. Louis, Mo. She had been stationed in Milwaukee for a great many 
years preceding her transfer to St. Vincent's Hospital in Norfolk. Six years ago 
she celebrated her golden jubilee.
The funeral will be held in St. Vincent's chapel at 9:30 o'clock Monday morning. 
Burial will be in St. Mary's Cemetery.
