; DEATH CLAIMS
GOOD FRIEND
OF ALASKA
The following note received by sev
eral local Catholics announces the
death ot the Rev. Mother Amadeus
Dunne at the Ursuline convent, Se
attle:
"In deep sorrow do we announce
to you the death of our reverend pro
vincial Mother Mary Amadeus of the
Heart of Jesus, foundress of the mis
sions of Montana and Alaska.
' “Fortified by the sacraments of the
church, comforted by a cable from
Cardinal Gasparri in Rome, conveying
to her the blessing of our holy father.
Pope Benedict XV. rejoiced by the
blessing of Cardinal Giustini, our pro
tector, by kind visits from the Rt. Rev.
E. J. O’Dea, bishop of Seattle, and
the Rt. Rev. R. J. Crimont, bishop of
Alaska, as also by loving greetings
from the mother general in Rome,
surrounded by devoted nuns who
prayed incessanfly for and with her,
Mother left this sad world on the
10th day of November, in the year of
Our Lord 1919. Please pray for the
repost of her soul.”
Mother Amadeus was 73 years of
age, and died as a result of an illness
^ contracted a year ago in Alaska. While
in the North she founded a school in
Valdez and several schools for Eski
mos on Seward peninsula. She was
well known in Cordova, having made
several visits here.
First Provincial of Ursulines
When Leo XIII called the Ursulines
to Rome to elect for themselves a
superior general, Mother Amadeus
went forth, as usual, fearless and obe
* dient, surrendered her title of superior
of the missions, and became first pro
vincial of the Ursulines. Her sway
extended from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific over the northern part of the
United States, but the first use she
made of her authority was to send her
nuns up into Northern Alaska.
When her term as provincial in
New York had expired she was, to her
great, delight, appointed provincial of
the difficult field of labor in Alaska,
and north she came, opening three
houses in that frozen latitude, as well
^ as one house in Seattle as a recruit
ing house for the Ursuline missions.
Her only income was that ever un
failing trust in Divine Providence,
and Divine Providence did not fail
Mission at St. Michael Burned
In December. 1018, while working
at the home at St. Michael, she con
tracted the illness which finally re
sulted in her death.
The influenza epidemic wras raging
and she was in the midst of adminis
tering to the sick when the house
caught fire and burned to the ground,
turning Mother Amadeus and her
charges out into weather 40 degrees
below zero. Their rescue was effect
ed by Captain Cummings, U. S. A.,
and a detachment of United States
soldiers stationed at Fort St. Michael.
But the exposure had been too much
for the venerable mother, and her
health, already undermined by innu
merable privations and by work which
often overtaxed her strength, gave
way. She was ordered to Seattle,
where skillful medical treatment and
the loving care of her sisters pro
longed her life but could not save it.
