Ministers to Late President in the Last Days of His Life
Miss Evelyn Hunt, Trained Nurse of Visalia, Attends McKinley
During the Anxious
Days at the Milburn Residence and Is Now at Bedside of the Stricken Widow
EVELYN HUNT of Visalia watched beside the bedside of the late
President and is now ministering to the sorrowing wife. She has by her faithfulness
and energy won the regard of her present patient and the approval of the physicians.
When Mrs. McKinley became ill on the martyred
President’s Western tour, Miss Hunt was one of the trained nurses engaged to
look after her every comfort. Her untiring attention to Mrs. McKinley and her
pleasing personality won her a place in the affections of the distinguished
couple. When the Presidential party departed for the East, Miss Hunt was a member
of it. It was her intention to return home immediately after bringing the patient
to her destination, but she was prevailed upon to continue in the service of
the McKinleys.
Miss Hunt accompanied Mrs. McKinley on her trip
to the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo and when the President was stricken
by an assassin’s bullet she was in the sick-chamber up to the hour of his untimely
death.
Miss Hunt is extremely popular, and the residents
of Visalia are proud of her work.
