In the same minute two sisters, aged 64 and 65, lying ill in separate wards at St. Luke's Hospital, Bradford, died after a life of touching devotion to each other. They were, the Misses Fanny and Faith Holmes, who for the last 30 years had lived together in Bradford. Since 1925 Faith had been an invalid, and Fanny—herself racked with rheumatism—attended her day and night. Failing health stopped this life of self-sacrifice, and finally the sisters had to be taken to hospital.
