Hilda Crosby Standish wrote this document on September 6, 1991, to reflect upon how difficult circumstances with her sister created the opportunity for her to meet her husband, Myles Standish. In 1932, Crosby was working on a specialization in obstetrics at the Margaret Williamson Hospital in Shanghai, China. The teaching hospital included a nursing school and medical college, and it held about a hundred beds for obstetric patients. Most of the students in the medical college were Chinese women, who had been educated in the missionary school system. Crosby taught and worked at the hospital. She also attended Peking Language School (Beijing) to learn Mandarin Chinese as part of her medical training. Her travels included street markets, where vendors encouraged her to use Mandarin; the Imperial Palace; a monastery in the Western hills reached by rickshaw; the Great Wall of China; and the old gates of the city. Late in the fall, Crosby received word that her younger sister had experienced an accident that prevented her from attending Wellesley College in her second year. The accident prompted regular correspondence between home and Crosby, and several of these letters have been preserved and included in this digital archive. In January 1934, Crosby received a cable: Her father wrote urgently, requesting Crosby to return home for a few months. Her sister had gotten worse, and her mother was not handling it well. Upon return, Crosby learned that her sister had suffered depression as she returned to school and had thrown herself under a train. She had suffered a broken arm but survived. Reportedly manic, however, her sister remained hospitalized in restraints, and her parents struggled to cope under the circumstances. During this time at home, Crosby met Myles Standish at a medical meeting. Standish “resolved early on not to date nurses, and as for female medics, well!” Crosby intended to return to Shanghai, but international political tensions with Japan and Shanghai meant that she could not return at the time. Instead, she opted to remain in Hartford, Connecticut. With her sister and parents recovering, Crosby recalled that she had to choose a career in medicine or a family. She chose the family, marrying Standish in 1936 and raising five children. They were married fifty-two years. Hilda Crosby Standish concluded: “great trauma in 1934 but what a superb resolution.” KEYWORDS: Eleanor Crosby; Hartford, Connecticut; Shanghai, China; Hilda Crosby Standish; Myles Standish.
