Hohnsbeen was born in 1876 in Davenport, Iowa to Ludwig Hohnsbeen and Wilhelmine Wunder. After working as a domestic and dressmaker, she became a hospital nurse in the early 1900s. Once America entered World War I in 1917, Hohnsbeen volunteered her services. She was a nurse at the evacuation hospital at Baccaret, Alsace, serving under fire six miles from the front. After the war, she completed a public health nursing course offered through the Yale Divinity School and the Visiting Nurses Association in 1919-20.
School Nurse
Hohnsbeen started her duties as public health nurse of Winona County on September 1, 1920 in the Red Cross booth at the county fair, weighing and measuring children and giving advice to mothers as to the health of their child. According to a local newspaper, Hohnsbeen, as public health nurse, "is the helpful advisor of the child in the school room and the friendly visitor in the home. She teaches health," and "tries to bring about sanitary living conditions..."
The large part of her duties was visiting the rural schools of the county to provide nursing and knowledge. From promoting dental care by getting pupils to come up with rhymes for "tooth brush" to speaking at a high school girls vocational conference about a career in public health nursing, Hohnsbeen dispensed her helpful advice to about 119 schools.
