Mrs. McCormick, former Enid resident died Friday in Manhattan, Kansas. She had been ill for some time, but her condition became acute only a few weeks ago. A native of Holton, Kansas, Mrs. McCormick came to Enid in 1913 and trained as a nurse at University hospital, now the Villa Madonna. She served in World War I as a Red Cross nurse. Mrs. McCormick and Anna Mae Lindell are two of the few women from this part of Oklahoma who were nurses during World War I.

She was a nurse in the offices of Drs. Rhodes and Walker for several years and left here 17 years ago to live in Manhattan where she was nurse in the office of Dr. Willard Schwartz, a brother-in-law. She was a member of the Christian church in Manhattan.

Survivors include three brothers. Frank Lemon, Manhattan, Kansas; William Lemon, Clinton; and John Lemon, Monrovia, California; three sisters, Mrs. W. E. Powell, Enid; Mrs. Willard Schwartz, Manhattan; and Mrs. Joe Gibson, Clinton.
