Maggie Smith, Sister Mary Lidwine (d. 1909)
Maggie Smith was a young nun of the Sisters of St. Ann who took the name Sister Mary Lidwine. She came to Dawson from Holy Cross where she had been for three years. She was hospitalised at Dawson and died there in 1909 of tuberculosis. She was the first to be buried in the sister's cemetery near the hospital. Sister John Damascene (Agnes Ouimette) served in Dawson from 1898 to her death in 1923. She was buried next to Sister Lidwine. Sister Gideon (Elisa Boucher) died as a result of the fire at St. Mary's Hospital in January 1950 and she was also buried at the cemetery. The four nuns buried in the lower cemetery, were exhumed and moved to the city plot in 1963 when the Sisters of St. Ann left Dawson.1)
