History
Anna (“Nan”) Tufts Ross was born August 9, 1905 in Pictou, Nova Scotia, Canada. She lived with her parents Herman B. Ross, a jeweler, and Bessie F. (Graham) Ross, younger sister Jean, grandmother and elderly great aunt and great uncle. At the age of 17 she was diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB), a disease affecting breathing, and sent to the Nova Scotia Sanatorium (“The San”) in Kentville, NS in the fall of 1922 for treatment. She lived there, with periodic trips home to Pictou, until the summer of 1926. She trained as a nurse, graduating from Eagleville Hospital and Sanatorium in Eagleville, Pennsylvania, United States in October 1928. For the next 20 years she worked at the Prince Edward Island TB sanatorium in Charlottetown, PE, and at Sutherland Memorial Hospital in Pictou, NS until health issues in her lungs appeared again. She died April 5, 1950 on the train to Kentville.
