Okell, Charlotte
We greatly regret to record the death at Brighton, on December 12th, of Mrs Okell, at one time a well known and much respected member of the nursing world.
Mrs Okell was trained at St Bartholomew's Hospital, London, and was subsequently Assistant Matron at St Saviour's Infirmary, Dulwich. From 1891 to 1897 she was matron of the Bridgewater Infirmary, and in that year was appointed Superintendent of Nursing at the West Ham Infirmary.
She took an active interest in Nursing Organisations and stood firmly for self-government of nurses in their own Associations. Of late her sympathy and interest have been with a Religious Sisterhood in Brighton
