The Daily Dispatch: may 3, 1862., [Electronic resource], Death of a noble woman. (search)
Had Sister Regis been a man, endowed with the same amount of energy and business aptitude, she would have achieved an uncommon fame in any station of life. Being a woman and a sister of Charity, she was contented with being a model of devotedness and this bounded energy to other women, and the pattern of everything that is pure, virtuous and lovely for her companions. In the year 1826, when she was twenty-two years old, Sister Regis joined the Sisters of Charity. She came to New Orleans in 1856, and a few men the after her arrival was known among us as an extraordinary woman, who knew no obstacle whatever in the execution of any plan suggested to her by a spirit of charity — always on the look-out. Successively she established the camp Street Asylum, the St. Elizabeth Asylum, the St. Vincent Infant Asylum, (on Magenine street,) and an Orphan Asylum in Carrolton. Were we to recount all the good works done by that saluted woman, we might fill easily a column of our paper.
