Elizabeth Marie Mcgowan

Elizabeth Marie Mcgowan died from an illegal operation.

On 19 January 1917 she had said that her sister was ill and had taken a leave of absence during which she went to stay with her sister. During her stay she became ill and started to vomit but refused to see a doctor until her condition became more serious on 24 January 1917 and a doctor was called.

The pathologist stated that death was due to peritonitis set up by an internal injury produced by an illegal operation.
