MISS CLARA QUERY IS ACCIDENTALLY KILLED
----------
Former Teacher in Charlotte Schools Dies in Baltimore Elevator.
Saddening her host of devoted friends in this city came news yesterday of the distressing death of Miss Clara Query which occurred yesterday morning in Baltimore. Miss Query who for a number of years has been a trained nurse was in the Maryland Hospital. She entered an elevator from which the boy was absent and undertook to run the car up to the second floor. She pulled the wrong rope with the result that the elevator shot up and Miss Query was crushed, her neck being broken.
Miss Query was well known and deeply beloved in Charlotte where she was born and reared, being a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Calvin A. Query. She taught for a number of years in the city schools. Of bright mentality and excellent training she was a highly efficient teacher and the deep personal interest which she felt in every pupil made her personality a power for good.
Miss Query was in Charlotte in July as the guest of Miss Lily Long. She went from there to Fairview where for six weeks she visited Miss Long's brother, Mr. Thomas Long. She is survived by one stepbrother, Mr. A. J. Carey, a prominent official of the Southern Railway at Washington. Her father died 18 months ago and her stepmother is living in Atlanta.
Twelve years ago Miss Query went to Baltimore and began the study of nursing at the Maryland Hospital where she was graduated. She then became superintendent of the Tayloe [sic] brothers hospital in Washington, this state. At the time of her death she was registrar of the Central Directory of Registered Nurses, with offices in the Medical Library in Baltimore. She held this position a number of years.

DEAD NURSE WAS A LEADER

Miss Querry, Killed at Goucher Dormitory, Was Very Popular.
Miss Clara E. Query, temporary superintendent of Glitner Hall, Goucher College, who was killed Tuesday night trying to operate an elevator in the Hall, was one of the most popular and widely known trained nurses in the State.
She was president of the University of Maryland Nurses Alumni Association and had servd three years as registrat of the Nurses' Central Directory, with offices in the Medical and Chirurgial Faculty Building. She was regarded as an efficient and painstaking registrar and by physicians with whom she came in contact she was held in high esteem.
For a term she was secretary of the Maryland Association of Graduate Nurses and was a member of the Red Cross Society, having charge of the work of dispatching nurses from the State last winter to Dayton, Ohio, during the floor devastation. She had been elected a delegate from Maryland to the Infant Mortality Congress which meets in Washington November 14. This subject had always been close to her heart.
Miss Query was a native of Charlotte, N. C. She visited Philadelphia in the early fall and came to Goucher College about a month ago to fill the place of the regular superintendent of Glitner Hall, who was ill with typhoid fever. She expected to remain until January. Her brother, Charles Query, of New Rochelle, N. Y., arrived last night and will make arrangements for the funeral. Burial will probably be in Charlotte.
