There is no historical evidence to suggest that Clara Barton, the founder of the American Red Cross, routinely wore a mask. However, during her time as a nurse in the Civil War, she did take various precautions to protect herself and her patients from disease, which may have included covering her face in certain situations. Masks as we know them today were not commonly used in the 19th century, so any instances would likely have been informal and situational rather than standard practice.
