Josephine Louise Newcomb (née Le Monnier; October 31, 1816 – April 7, 1901) was the philanthropist whose donations led to the founding of Newcomb College at Tulane University.[1]
Life
Josephine Louise Le Monnier was born in Baltimore on October 31, 1816 to Mary Sophia Waters and Alexander Le Monnier.[2] She received her education in Baltimore and in her father's native France.[3] After her mother died, Le Monnier went to live in New Orleans, where her older sister Eleanor Anne and brother-in-law William Henderson had settled.[4] There, Le Monnier met Warren Newcomb, and the couple married in Christ Church Cathedral on December 15, 1845.[5]
The couple moved to Louisville, Kentucky, and had a son, Warren, Jr., who died shortly after his birth in 1853.[6] The couple later moved to New York, where Josephine gave birth to their second child, Harriott Sophie Newcomb, on July 29, 1855.[7]
