Clara Barton
a US nurse who worked in army camps during the American Civil War and the Franco-Prussian War. She started the American Red Cross in 1881 (1821-1912). orig. Clarissa Harlowe born Dec. 25, 1821, Oxford, Mass., U.S. died April 12, 1912, Glen Echo, Md. U.S. nurse, founder of the American Red Cross. She attended the Liberal Institute at Clinton, N.Y. (1850-51). In 1852 she established a free school in Bordentown, N.J., that soon became so large that the townsmen would no longer allow a woman to run it. After resigning her post, she was employed by the U.S. Patent Office in Washington, D.C. (1854-57, 1860). During the American Civil War she organized the distribution of medicine and supplies for soldiers wounded in the first Battle of Bull Run. She gained permission to pass through battle lines to distribute supplies, search for the missing, and nurse the wounded, becoming known as the "angel of the battlefield." In 1865, at the request of Pres. Abraham Lincoln, she set up a bureau of records to aid in the search for missing men. While in Europe for a rest, she helped with relief work for victims of the Franco-Prussian War (1870-71) and became associated with the International Red Cross. In 1881 she founded the American Red Cross. She lobbied Congress to sign the Geneva Convention (see Geneva Conventions), which provided for the treatment of the sick and wounded in battle and the proper handling of prisoners of war. She wrote the U.S. amendment to the constitution of the Red Cross, which provides for the distribution of relief not only in war but also during natural disasters. She served as president of the American Red Cross until 1904

Hired by Paramount Pictures in 1925, she played larger roles in silent films such as Mantrap (1926) and Kid Boots (1926).

Clara Schumann
orig. Clara Josephine Wieck born Sept. 13, 1819, Leipzig, Saxony died May 20, 1896, Frankfurt am Main, Ger. German pianist. Trained by her father, the noted piano teacher Friedrich Wieck (1785-1873), she debuted as a prodigy with Leipzig's Gewandhaus Orchestra in 1830, and then she toured for two years. By 1835 she had fallen in love with Robert Schumann, the Wiecks' boarder since 1830. When Clara turned 21 years old, they eloped against her father's wishes. Her artistic stature had already been established by her tours, but the birth of eight children limited her career, and she stopped writing music in 1853 after showing considerable promise as a composer. Robert's mental deterioration led to her resuming touring full-time; she retired from performing and teaching in the 1890s because of ill health. From 1853 she had a close lifelong relationship with Johannes Brahms

In 1921 she was elected to the presidium of the Third International (see Comintern). Her influence waned after Lenin's death in 1924
