Biography
Cecilia Bauer was born in the Colony of Queensland (1859-1900)
Cecilia Elizabeth Bauer was born in 1883 in Queensland, Australia. [1]
Her parents were Felix Bauer, a German born emigrant, and Mary Tighe, originally from Ireland.
Cecilia was a nurse and was working at the Maryborough Hospital during Australia's only outbreak of pneumonic plague in 1905.
Nurses Cecilia Bauer and Rose Adelaide Wiles (1876-1905) courageously volunteered to nurse victims of the plague. Whilst looking after their patients both nurses fell ill and died from the deadly disease.
Cecilia passed away in 1905.
In 1966 a memorial was erected to commemorate the two nurses in Maryborough, Queensland, Australia. [2]
