Person:Fanny Phillips (3)

She shared many of her mother's experiences during the Civil War, including the imprisonment at Mrs. Rose Greenhow's. Returning to Washington after the war, she was noted as a "popular belle and inheritor of her mother's of beauty and grace." Later she lived with her children in Columbus, Ohio and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

While living in Washington she founded the Washington Home for the Incurables. Now known as The Washington Home, "it was founded in D.C. in 1888 by Mrs. Charles Hill and others to provide professional medical and nursing care to people with chronic disease or disability, regardless of sex, creed, race or national origin and needed humane and dignified care. This at a time when disease was a problem the year round, but many people with neither family nor money had a place to go. The Washington Home for the Incurables (now The Washington Home) is Washington’s oldest long-term and palliative care institution. The first two patients were admitted in March 1889 and admissions totaled nine the first year." (http://www.thewashingtonhome.org/org_hist.html)
