Lathrop, rose Hawthorne 1851-

Author and philanthropist; born in Lenox, Mass., May 20, 1851; daughter of Nathaniel Hawthorne. She received a common school education, and, after her marriage to George Parsons Lathrop, became greatly interested in the condition of the poor of New York, and particularly sought to help destitute and diseased women who were unable to gain an entrance into any hospital. For several years she has been engaged in providing means of relief for incurable cancer patients. With much persistency, and through contributions from the public who became interested in her scheme, she established a hospital for this class of patients exclusively, and has been aided in carrying it on successfully. Her publications include Along the shore (poems); Memories of Hawthorne; and A story of courage (with her husband).
