About Sarah Mower Requa
Sarah Mower Requa (1829–1922) was an American philanthropist and California pioneer involved with charity work. Her efforts began in the early history of Nevada with the founding of the small church at Gold Hill, and later at Oakland, California in the Old Ladies Home and in the Fabiola Hospital. During the Spanish–American War, when thousands of soldiers were arriving in San Francisco, she played an important part in feeding and clothing them, and through her efforts the Convalescent Home for sick soldiers returned from the Philippines was established.
