( In the autumn of 1864, Dora joined the Sisterhood of
the Good Samaritans at Coatham, Middlesbrough and
devoted her life to nursing. She was sent to work at Walsall’s hospital in
Bridge Street and arrived in Walsall on 8 January 1865. The rest of her life
was spent in Walsall and it was there that in local eyes she became to be
compared with Florence Nightingale for outstanding service to people of walsall. .)
