Biographical History
Ida M. Cannon (1877-1960), pioneer in medical social work, was born in Milwaukee, Wis., the daughter of Wilma Denio and Colbert Hanchett Cannon. A graduate of the St. Paul (Minn.) City and County Hospital Training School for Nursing (1898), Cannon also studied sociology and psychology before coming to Boston, where for nearly four decades she directed the growth of social work at Massachusetts General Hospital.
Cornelia (James) Cannon (1876-1969), a best-selling author and civic leader was active with the Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts, the Cambridge Civic Association, and the League of Women Voters. She married Ida Cannon's brother, Walter Bradford Cannon (1871-1945), who taught physiology at Harvard Medical School and was George Higginson Professor of Physiology and chair of the department. An innovator in both research and medical education, he adapted the case method for teaching medicine in the early 1900s. They had five children: Bradford Cannon, Wilma (Cannon) Fairbank, Linda (Cannon) Burgess, Marian (Cannon) Schlesinger, and Helen (Cannon) Bond.
