Alice Cogswell was born August 31, 1805 and died December 30, 1830 at the age of 25. She was not born deaf but became deaf at age 2 from spotted fever. She was originally from Europe, probably London.
Her father, Dr. Mason Cogswel, was an acquaintance of Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet. The two together had many talks about starting a formal school for the deaf. That school is now known as the American School for the Deaf.
Nevertheless, Alice Cogswell, not her father, was the main inspiration for the starting of the American School for the deaf in Hartford, Ct.
There are two statues of her, one at Galludent University and another at the American school for the deaf. She sits in the statue with Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet holding the sign for the letter A.
