In reply to K. L. Phan.

Thank you so much for your information. In the last week, I have had one person contact me with some additional information about Arthur as well as Rebecca. I am in the process of documenting Arthur’s story, and over the next month I’m going to re-examine all that I have on Rebecca. I believe Tony Neal checked City Directories, but I will try to trace his path and verify the information he provided.

I did not know that the New England Female Medical College was homeopathic but that means I need to re-answer one of the people who posted earlier.

I truly appreciate your interest and added material. I will email you when we have puzzled through this profile again and have verified all that we have thus far.

It’s wonderful that Rebecca and Arthur Crumpler generate so much interest. I tip my hat to the people they were, and I will try to them full justice.

I believe Rebecca Lee Crumpler died in Hyde Park and is buried in the Fairview Cemetery near there. I think her last name at birth was “Davis”; her first husband was “Lee” (who reportedly died while she was still in medical school)and her second husband was “Crumpler”. I would love to see a copy of the reference given by Mr. Neal as to the location of her practice being at 20 Garden Street in the Beacon Hill area of Boston and wonder about the more oft-reported location of Joy Street (also in Beacon Hill). Could both have been correct at different points in time, I wonder?

The New England Female Medical College supported the homeopathic approach to medicine. After the merger with Boston University, some form of homeopathy was practiced in addition to more “conventional” medical treatments and the homeopathic approach was not fully abandoned, apparently, until after World War I (from what I have read).
