Agnes Cummins, a younger sister of Sisters M. Patricia and Blandina and Fathers Patrick and Damien of Conception, was born at Burlington Junction, Missouri on Jan. 27, 1897. Her father was born in Ireland, her mother in Massachusetts. She entered our community at Clyde on Nov. 29, 1913 and was invested Aug. 5, 1914. Her first vows were offered to God on Aug. 28, 1915, when she received the name of Sister Anna Hanora.
Sister was a small person, with a lovable disposition, and as one Sister expressed it, her face was "one mass of Irish freckles." She graduated from St. Joseph’s Academy with Sisters M. Carmelita, Gemma and others, this being one of the largest groups in one year.
Sister Anna Hanora was fervent and zealous at prayer and work, although in delicate health even during her novitiate. She developed tuberculosis and died after a year's illness at the age of twenty. She had the privilege of making perpetual vows on her deathbed. The date was March 12, 1917. She died on March 18, 1917. Some saw in her a similarity to the Little Flower, Therese of the Child Jesus, the Carmelite nun who was becoming popular at that time.
