Louisa Dolly Whittlesey (1825-1909) was born in Farmington, CT, the daughter of Harvey Whittlesey (1788-1861) and Ruth Dolly Whittlesey (1793-1841). Louisa attended Mount Holyoke Female Seminary 1841-1843, but did not graduate. Her mother gave birth to a son Lucius on March 11, 1841, and died eight days later. On August 31, 1842, her father married Dolly Maria Sperry (1812-?). Possibly, Louisa was needed at home to help with the care of Lucius and her three other young siblings. Louisa taught school in Farmington 1843-1844 and in Berlin, CT, 1845-46. In late December 1846, Louisa traveled to Baton Rouge where she joined her brother-in law's cousin Cornelia Youngs and Dr. Gruneberg on the teaching staff of the Baton Rouge Female Institute. During her time in Baton Rouge, Louisa managed to participate in the social life of the city and met a wide variety of people including sugar planters, manufacturers, builders, and merchants. She became a close friend of Eliza Phillips whose father John Phillips married Lucy Matilda Woodruff in 1847. Louisa taught at the Baton Rouge Female Institute until 1849, when she left the school to return to CT. She lived with her family in Farmington until 1860, when she moved to Chicago to live with her sisters Emily and Frances. By 1870 she had moved back to Farmington to live with her sister Ann. Louisa returned to Chicago by 1900 and lived again with Frances until she passed away in 1909. She is buried in Memento Mori Cemetery in Farmington.
