Miss A. W. Godfrey, the Matron of the Wellington District Hospital, is a native of Bath, Somersetshire. Educated in various parts of England and in Germany, the subject of this notice came out to Melbourne per s.s. “Cuzeo,” and crossing the Tasman Sea, arrived in New Zealand in June, 1878. After some years spent with friends in Wanganui, Miss Godfrey took up work in the Hospital as a probationer and speedily rose step by step to the position of head nurse. She was appointed matron on the 1st of March, 1890. Miss Godfrey delights in her work, and spares no effort to benefit the sufferers who come within the institution over which she so ably presides.
