She was the first person in the United States identified as an asymptomatic carrier of the pathogen associated with typhoid fever. She emigrated to the United States from Ireland in 1884, and from 1900 to 1907 she worked as a cook in the New York City area. She was presumed to have infected some 51 people, three of whom died, over the course of her career as a cook.
