Subjects in this Topic:

a French nun, called Sister Martha, born at Besanson in 1749, deserves a place here for her devotion during the French Revolution and the wars that followed to the relief of the sick and wounded, and of prisoners of all nations. She died in 1824. The Martha Order (q.v.) is named after her.
