Biography Of Madame M. C. Cazier, Margaret M. Behr

Savannah Biographies

This paper is a biography of Madame M. C. Cazier. Madame Cazier, also known as Maryann C. Cazier, had an important role as citizen of Savannah during the period of the Civil War. Although there is little information on her before this period, it is apparent that she played an important part in society as a “physician” and humanitarian to the soldiers of the Civil War. Madame Cazier, from my research and my opinion, was very well respected and was an intelligent woman to be in the position of Lady Manager at the Bartow Hospital.
