Highlights of Cara Maass' life:
Clara Maass graduated from Newark German Hospital in 1895 and became a head nurse t early in 1898.
At the time of the Spanish-American War, as a "contract" nurse, she worked in Jacksonville, Florida; Savannah, Georgia; and Santiago, Cuba, caring for soldiers stricken with typhoid and malaria.
She later volunteered to serve in the Philippines, w she nursed for seven months until she became ill from dengue and was sent home.
In Havana, Cuba, as part of a research project, she volunteered to be bitten by a mosquito thought to be carrying yellow fever.
After recuperating from a mild case of the disease, she volunteered to be bitten again; she died ten days later, at age 25.
On June 19, 1952, the Newark German Hospital w she had trained and worked was renamed the Clara Maass Memorial Hospital (now Clara Maass Medical Center).
In 1976, the U.S. Postal Service issued a stamp commemorating the centenary of Clara Maass's birth.
