One of the first American women in Europe during the First World War, singer Caroline Gardner Bartlett was a relief worker who eventually found herself accused of spying for the Germans. Bartlett and her husband moved from Boston to Warner, NH, to establish a singing school in 1904.
To learn more about Sister Beatrice, watch “Supplies and Spies: The Adventures of Caroline Gardner Bartlett,” a program delivered by Library Director Sarah Galligan during the NH Historical Society’s 2017 Spring Lecture Series, New Hampshire and the Great War.
