  Nellie Cashman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ellen Cashman ( 1845 – January 4, 1925), better known as Nellie Cashman, was a native of County Cork, Ireland, who became famous across the United States west as a caretaker and gold prospector.
Cashman travelled to Victoria, to deliver 500 dollars received in donations, to the nuns of the Sisters of St. Anne, when she heard that a snowstorm had attacked the Cassiar mountains area, stranding and injuring 26 miners, who were also suffering of a disease named Scurvy.
Nellie still hoped to find gold someday, and she travelled to Baja California, Mexico, soon after her sister's death, on rumors that gold and silver could also be found there.
