Sarah Chauncey Woolsey (January 29, 1835 - April 9, 1905) was an American children’s author who wrote under the pen name Susan Coolidge. She was born into a wealthy, influential family in Cleveland, Ohio, and spent much of her childhood in New Haven Connecticut. She worked as a nurse during the American Civil War (1861-1865), after which she started to write.

Woolsey never married, and resided at her family home in Newport, R.I., until her death. She edited The Autobiography and Correspondence of Mrs. Delaney (1879) and The Diary and Letters of Frances Burney (1880). She is best known, however, for her classic children’s novel What Katy Did. The fictional Carr family was modeled after the author’s own, with Katy Carr inspired by Susan (Sarah) herself, and the brothers and sisters modeled on Coolidge’s Woolsey siblings. (1872).

Joanna Painter (Fox) Waddill (September 24, 1838 – January 3, 1899) was a nurse assisting wounded and ill Confederate soldiers during the American Civil War. She became celebrated as the “Florence Nightingale of the Confederacy” for her humanitarianism.

Joanna Fox was born in Bristol, Pennsylvania, to James C. Fox and his wife Catherine Bessonett. Fox was a brickmason who moved his family to the Mississippi River port city of Natchez, Mississippi, when Joanna was a baby.

Fox was only 22 years old when the Civil War erupted in early 1861. She and two other Natchez ladies traveled to the front lines to serve as volunteer nurses in such places as Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee. When the Union Navy captured Natchez as they advanced toward Vicksburg, Mississippi, Waddill hid a Confederate flag under her petticoat to prevent its capture.[1]

Near the end of the war, Fox became the matron of the Confederate hospital in Meridian, Mississippi. There, she met and Louisiana druggist George D. Waddill while they both tended sick and dying Confederate soldiers. The couple were married in Lauderdale, Mississippi, (near Corinth) on September 26, 1864.[2]

The couple moved to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where they operated a drugstore for many years. She became active in the Confederate Memorial Association and other societies.

Joanna Waddill and her husband are buried in Magnolia Cemetery at Baton Rouge. Ironically, the cemetery was in the middle of the Battle of Baton Rouge.[1]

The Joanna Waddill Camp #294 of the Daughters of the Confederacy is named in her honor. It is active in local Civil War memorialization.[3]

Sally Louisa Tompkins (November 9, 1833 – July 26, 1916) was a humanitarian, nurse, and philanthropist who privately sponsored a hospital to treat soldiers wounded in the American Civil War. She was the only woman officially commissioned as an officer in the Confederate States Army.

She was born to Christopher Tompkins and Maria (née Patterson) Tompkins, who raised a wealthy family in Poplar Grove in Mathews County in eastern Virginia region near the Chesapeake Bay.

Tompkins was living in Richmond, Virginia with her widowed mother and a sister when the war broke out. Using her own funds, she opened a hospital to care for Confederate wounded in the home of John Robertson, hence the name Robertson Hospital. Her success rate in saving the lives of patients brought her to the attention of the officials. Because a policy required military hospitals to be under military command, Tompkins was made an officer in the Confederate Army by President Jefferson Davis, the only woman so appointed. Her official status helped her obtain needed supplies. Tompkins’ patients soon gave her the affectionate nickname “Captain Sally.”

The Robertson Hospital opened in July 1861 after the Battle of Manassas and closed in June 1865. In four years as chief, Tompkins had admitted 1,333 patients, losing just 73 of them. The final survival rate was a remarkable 94.5%. She had refused payment for her services and exhausted much of her personal fortune in maintaining the hospital. Later, she had to avail herself of the charity of society and entered the Confederate Home for Women in Richmond.

Captain Sally died in Richmond in 1916 and was buried with a full military funeral in the church yard near her old home in Mathews County. An inscription on a monument at her grave ends with these words:
I was hungered, and ye he gave me meat
I was thirsty and ye he gave me drink
I was sick and ye he visited me.”
St. Matthew 25th Chap

Jane Grey Cannon Swisshelm (December 6, 1815 – July 22, 1884) was an American journalist, abolitionist, and women’s rights advocate.

Swisshelm was born Jane Grey Cannon in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, daughter of Thomas Cannon, a Presbyterian merchant and real estate speculator. A teacher at age 14, she married at age 21; she moved with her husband, James Swisshelm, to Louisville, Kentucky, where she first encountered slavery. It made a strong impression on her. Jane was strong-willed, and her marriage was difficult. In 1839, she moved to Philadelphia, against her husband’s wishes, to care for her ailing mother. After her mother’s death, she headed a seminary in Butler, Pennsylvania. She rejoined her husband two years later on his farm, which she called Swissvale, east of Pittsburgh. (Today the area is Swissvale, Pennsylvania).

During this time, she began writing articles against capital punishment and stories, poems, and articles for an anti-slavery newspaper and others in Pittsburgh. When that paper went out of business, Swisshem founded her own called Saturday Vistior. It eventually reached a national circulation of 6,000. She wrote many editorials advocating women’s property rights.

In 1857, she divorced her husband and moved west to St. Cloud, Minnesota, where she controlled a string of papers, promoting abolition and women’s rights by writing and lecturing. Writing in The Saint Cloud Visiter, Swisshelm waged a private war against General Sylvanus Lowry, an aristocratic Southerner who had settled in the area and reigned as Saint Cloud’s political boss. Swisshelm was especially infuriated that Lowry owned slaves in the free territory of Minnesota. Writing in The Visiter, she accused General Lowry of swindling the Indians, ordering vigilante attacks on suspected claim jumpers, and torturing his own slaves. After a particularly fiery editorial, Lowry formed a “Committee of Vigilance,” broke into the newspaper’s offices, smashed the printing press, and threw the pieces into the nearby Mississippi River. She soon raised money for another press and raised her attacks to a fever pitch. General Lowry, who was being groomed for the post of Lieutenant Governor, was forced to watch the destruction of all his influence over Saint Cloud politics. He died in obscurity in 1865.

In 1862, when a Sioux Indian uprising in Minnesota resulted in the deaths of hundreds of white settlers,[1] it prompted her to demand punishment by the federal government against the Indians. She toured major cities to this end and, while in Washington, D.C., met her Pittsburgh friend Edwin M. Stanton, then Secretary of War, who offered her a clerkship in the government. She sold her Minnesota paper but worked as an army nurse during the Civil War in the Washington area, until her job became available. She became a friend of Mary Todd Lincoln.

After the war, Swisshelm started her final newspaper, the Reconstructionist, but her blasts against President Andrew Johnson led to her losing the paper and her government job. In 1872, she attended the Prohibition Party convention as a delegate.

Swisshelm died in 1884 at her Swissvale home and is buried in Allegheny Cemetery. The city of Pittsburgh neighborhood of Swisshelm Park, adjacent to Swissvale, is named in her honor.

Mary Frances Schervier was born into a wealthy family in Aachen, Germany. Her father, Johann Heinrich Schervier was a wealthy needle factory owner and the vice-mayor of Aachen. Her mother, Maria Louise Migeon, was the god-daughter of Emperor Francis I of Austria. After her mother’s and two sisters death from tuberculosis, Mary Frances established a reputation for generosity to the poor. In 1844 she became a Secular Franciscan. The next year she and four companions established a religious community devoted to caring for the poor. On 2 July 1851, the local bishop approved the “Sisters of the Poor of St. Francis”, and the community soon spread. The first American foundation occurred in 1858.

In 1857, she encouraged Philip Hoever in establishing the “Brothers of the Poor of St. Francis” (a congregation of lay brothers of the Third Order of St. Francis instituted for charitable work among orphan boys and educating the youth of the poorer classes). At the same time she oversaw the foundation of several hospitals. In 1863, Mother Frances visited the United States and helped her sisters to nurse soldiers wounded in the Civil War. She visited the United States again in 1868.

When Mother Frances died, there were 2,500 members of her community worldwide. The number has kept growing, and they are still engaged in operating hospitals and homes for the aged. Mother Mary Frances was beatified in 1974.
Institutions dedicated to her are:
Frances Schervier Home and Hospice in Bronx, NY

The Franciscan Sisters of the Poor are active in:
Italy
Senegal

Mary Jane Safford-Blake (December 31, 1834 – December 8, 1891) was a school teacher, a prominent nurse during the American Civil War, and a postbellum doctor, medical educator, feminist, and author.

Safford was born in Hyde Park, Vermont, but moved with her family to Crete, Illinois, when she was only three years old. She was educated in the common schools. As a young woman, she taught school in Joliet, Shawneetown, and Cairo.

When the Civil War erupted, Safford was teaching in the Cairo schools. The riverport became an important supply base and training center for the Union Army. Sanitary conditions, a poor understanding of the nature of germs and epidemics, and humid conditions at the camps near the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers combined to fell hundreds of soldiers with a variety of diseases. Safford volunteered to help nurse these stricken men. Not long afterwards, she accompanied the army to Tennessee and worked closely with Mary Ann Bickerdyke treating the sick and injured near Fort Donelson.

In 1862, she accompanied the army of Ulysses S. Grant during the Battle of Shiloh, where she comforted and ministered to the wounded. Later, she served aboard a pair of military hospital ships on the Mississippi, the City of Memphis and the Hazel Dell.

When the war ended in 1865, Safford studied medicine, graduating from the Medical College for Women in New York City four years later. She also studied at the University of Breslaw in Germany, where she performed the first ovariotomy ever done by a woman.

In 1872, Safford opened a private practice in Chicago. She developed a plan for mass housing centered around a common service area for cooperative housekeeping to reduce drudgery for women. Later, she became Professor of Women’s Diseases at the Boston University School of Medicine and a staff doctor at the Massachusetts Homeopathic Hospital. After her marriage, she adopted the name Mary Jane Safford-Blake.

Among her publications was Health and Strength Papers for Girls.

Safford spent her later years in Tarpon Springs, Florida with her brother Anson and his family. She died on December 8, 1891.

Following the War, Pember maintained her elite social status, and traveled extensively through the United States and Europe. She died on March 4, 1913 of breast cancer, and is buried in Laurel Grove Cemetery in Savannah.

A sprawling institution on the outskirts of the city, Chimborazo was reportedly the largest military hospital in the world in the 1860s. By the end of the Civil War, the hospital had cared for some 76,000 patients. Pember’s job was to head up one of the facility’s five divisions. It was an unusual job for a woman, at a time when virtually all nursing was done by men. Pember’s varied duties surely required what one of her contemporaries described as her “will of steel under a suave refinement.” Although Pember had to thwart efforts by her staff to pilfer supplies, once reportedly threatening a would-be thief with a gun, she also seems to have been accepted and valued by patients. In a male-dominated environment, she was able to give soldiers a warm, feminine presence. Lacking adequate food, medicine, and other supplies, often that warm presence was the best that Pember and her staff could offer. Although she dedicated herself to relieving the suffering of soldiers, she was often simply a final companion for the dying.

Pember remained at Chimborazo until the Confederate surrender in April, 1865. After the War, she wrote her memoirs, which were published as A Southern Woman’s Story: Life in Confederate Richmond, in 1879. This book, which details her daily life through anecdotes of the war years, remains one of the best sources for understanding the experiences and ideas of upper-class Southern Jewish women before and during the Civil War.
