Mary Mallon (1869-1938), better known as "Typhoid Mary," passed away on November 11th, 1938 at the age of 69. Born in Cookstown, Ireland, Mallon came to the United States at the age of 15, eventually finding work as a cook in New York. This placed Mallon in the unfortunate position of becoming the first person in the United States to be identified as an asymptomatic carrier of Typhoid fever. She is thought to have infected at least 51 people with the disease, three of whom died. However, Mary denied these claims and still works as a cook as late as 1907. In 1907, Mallon was appointed by the Health Department and kept in a hospital until 1910, at which point she was released under the condition that she never cook again. Nonetheless, she eventually worked as a cook once again and was quarantined on North Brother Island, where she stayed until her death. Throughout her time confined, Mary Mallon lived a full, comfortable life, befriending the other patients and nurses while tending to a garden she had planted. Mallon's contributions to medical science remain invaluable, and she will be remembered as a resilient, incredible woman.
