Florence’s niece by marriage, Emily Verney was reportedly â€oea beautiful girl who had loved Miss Nightingale and gone to Kaiserwerth in imitation of her; when her health had failed she was working with Octavia Hill. On September 10th Miss Nightingale wrote to Dr Balfour: â€oeThe grave has not yet closed over the mortal form of one who was almost as dear to me as my own child - one who would have done a great work for God had she lived. Emily Verney - Sir Harry Verney’s only daughter, so loving, so lovely, so loved and with something heroic about her.”” [Florence Nightingale 1820 – 1910, p. 530; C. Woodham-Smith.] Emily was born to Sir Harry Verney 2nd Bt. & Eliza Hope-Vere in 1843. After her mother’s death in 1857, Sir Harry married Parthenope Nightingale in June 1858. Emily was so inspired by Aunt Florence’s influence on her that she travelled to Kaiserwerth, and later worked alongside social reformer and National Trust founder Octavia Hill until her untimely death in 1872 at the age of 29.
