During World War I, she was one of a skeleton staff at the Hospice de St. Vincent de Paul in Montmirail, France, who cared for wounded from the June 1918 Chateau-Thierry campaign; as hospital founder Harriet Bard Squiers wrote, "The hospital was a slaughterhouse ... Hoytie W[i]borg did such splendid work.

She never had her clothes off for nights....I can't begin to tell you how wonderful she has been.
