Isabel Montgomery Davenport
1855 – 1939, places of birth and death unknown, MD, DO.
In 1903 Isabel Montgomery Davenport wrote a volume containing a schematic description of the osteopath, addressed to students enrolled in a correspondence course.1
Dr I. M. Davenport was an osteopath also awarded with a degree in ortodox medicine, as shown by the title M.D. positioned after her name on the frontispiece of her book, she presumably worked as a physician in the field of psychiatric pathologies.
In 1896, a text on the history of Chicago’s medicine mentions a teacher of nervous and mental diseases named I. M. Davenport amongst the teachers of the Harvey Medical College, a night school of medicine and surgery recognised by the state of Illinois and accessible to women.2
A Dr Isabel M. Davenport appears in a photograph that represents the medical staff of an institute for mental illnesses, the Illinois Eastern Hospital for the Insane,3 presumably from the early nineteenth century.
