Place: Mater Misericordiae Hospital, Waratah
Source: Newcastle Morning Herald
Details: Extract from article on the occasion of the Silver Jubilee - The hospital originated in 1920 in the purchase of a two-storied house in Edith-street, Waratah, known as Enmore Hall for £2200. The property including 5 1/4 acres of land. Some friends of the Sisters of Mercy had seen a For Sale notice outside the building. It impressed them as a suitable site for the starting of a hospital. The suggestion was put to the Mother Superior of the Sisters of Mercy of the Maitland Diocese (Rev. Mother Mary Magdalen), who gave it her enthusiastic approval. The then Bishop of Maitland (Rt. Rev. Dr. Dwyer) sanctioned the project, the building was bought, converted into a hospital, and placed in charge of the Sisters of Mercy, one of the main objects of the Order being the nursing of the sick. Adjacent to the property was a six roomed cottage, named Karuah. This was bought for £1200. It became the first home of the Sisters of Mercy at Waratah. An operating theatre was the only addition to Enmore Hall, although it was renovated and installed with all modern hospital equipment. The first patients were admitted on December 8, 1921, 410 beds being available. 23 in two general wards, and 17 in eight private wards. Matron Short was installed with six nun trainees to assist her. The trainees were under Matron M. Gallagher, a graduate of St. Vincent Hospital, Sydney. They were given lectures in anatomy and physiology by Dr. Gardiner in a five year course. All qualified. The six Sisters of Mercy then took charge of the hospital. On March 25. 1922, the hospital was blessed and opened by Archbishop Kelly, of Sydney. The hospital expanded with the purchase in 1926 of Glenone, a house next to the convent in Lorna-street, and adjoining property Roslyn Hall in 1927, and, in 1929 a property in Edith-street, which was subsequently demolished and is now the site of the main entrance drive to the new hospital. In 1927 Mr. W. Longworth had a Children s block built at his expense at the back of the hospital. Named the Longworth Block, it consisted of several rooms for sick children. – Note – Enmore Hall had once been the home of Colonel Charles Frederick Stokes

Details: Colonel Charles Frederick Stokes, the officer commanding the Fourth Infantry Regiment, died suddenly and under tragic circumstances on Sun- day morning. He had been at Newcastle, which is the headquarters of his regiment, and returned thence by train on Saturday night. He remained in Sydney till Sunday morning, when he caught the first boat to Manly, where he has been residing with his family for some time past. Shortly after 10 o clock he went out for a bicycle ride with his daughter, and the two proceeded as far as Narrabeen. On their return the colonel walk- ed, it is said, partly up a rather stiff incline, then mounted his machine, and essayed to ride the remainder of the way up the hill. Miss Stokes was in front, and, wondering why her father did not overtake her, she turned round and saw him lying on the road with two men bending over him. Turning back, she was informed that he had fallen from his bicycle, and had not risen after falling. To all appearance he was then dead. The body was taken to Narrabeen, where Dr. Watkins, of Manly, was sent for, who on arrival pronounced the colonel dead. Colonel Stokes has been connected with the military forces of the colony for about twenty-six years. He was purely a colonial officer, his first appointment dating from December, 1870, when he was gazetted lieutenant. He was promoted to the position of captain in 1882, was made a major in 1884; in August, 1885, he was appointed officer commanding the Fourth Infantry Regiment, and in February, 1892, he was promoted to the rank of colonel. In addition to his command, he was a member of the Local Defence Committee. In September last his son, Dr. Frank Stokes, died, and the death of the young man was a great blow to the father, who has never been, to use a common expression, the same man since. He leaves a widow, a son, and several daughters. Only recently the colonel was appointed honorary A.D.C. to Lord Hampden, the Governor.
