Over Seas Nurse

From Myrtle Hill Cemetery in Syracuse, NY:



 Edna A. Winshurst
1894-1933
Army nurse over seas
1918-1919

I initially thought that the service date had something to do with WW1, perhaps, before it occurred to me that the war would have been officially over (but still plenty of clean-up to be sure). The Flu Pandemic of 1918 (aka the Spanish Flu) would've been at work however.
