Fire victim, a heroine
Associated Press · April 7, 1949
Mrs. Hilary Clements, 21, was planning to quit her job as a nurse, and Monday night was her last hour of duty at St. Anthony hospital. That's when fire destroyed the hospital and she was injured fatally after saving several patients. She jumped with one without injury, but on another jump she broke her hip and she had burns on three-fourths of her body. She died Tuesday night.
