Ruth Helena Sinnott (née Kellogg; February 14, 1823 – May 29, 1897) was a Union nurse during the American Civil War.[2]
Civil War Service[]
Sinnotte was commissioned in St. Louis, Missouri to serve on the steamer Imperial, traveling between Pittsburgh Landing and St. Louis.[3][4][5] When this ship was out of service, Sinnotte then went to the steamer Ella until this steamer too was out of service. She then was transferred to Monterey, Tennessee, to service in the hospital at Corith.[3] Her service here, however, was cut short by illness, causing her to return home to Illinois. Soon, she was traveling again, this time with the 113th Illinois Infantry, to Memphis where she served on the Vicksburg fleet, once again on the Imperial.[4][6]
