STRANGEST WOMAN
ON EARTH TODAY
Molly
Fancher, of New York, Who
Has Spent Forty Years
in Her Bed.
WEW TOBK. April 80. An appeal was
made the other day for financial aid for
ilCjllyi Fane her. Her frleuda. dog lr io
ecure enough money to pay oft the
mortgage, on her house and to increaae
her present income. .
Periodically. Brooklyn people have re?
called t theni the,trange existence of
thirm valid woman, who, nearly 40 years
agt was thrown from her horse and re
ceived an Injury from which she had
scarcely -recovered when, she fell from a
- Fulton street-car. (In June, 1865), and
was dragged a considerable distance.
From this second;. acci4ent (sho never
recoveredr H .... v- .,
She warf a school girl at the" time and
was attending Faoker Insltute in Jorale
woa sireet; : -9:h physlctehs . paid' that
her spine' Jiad leen injured.-' She, was
subject to. frequent convulsions of the
severest character. From that ,time
Molly Fancher has laid in her bed in
the same room, at 160 Gates avenue, at
the; corner,; of Downing street, arid has
no other- companion 'than, bee attendant,
a colored "woman.
When shfc was first injured her father
and brothers and ulsters were living.
From the time ovthe -street car acci
dent her home ,was with her aunt. Miss
Crosby, Who took entire care of her up
to her own .death, fourteen years ago.
Long ago ail "of Miss Fttncher's near kin
dred passed way, except the family of
one sister. Living In the house with her
now is a nephew.
The loss that most afflicts Miss Fan
cher at the present time is the death of
her friend, George Sargent, who tooR
care of her business interests and spent
much, of his time in her home. The two
were 'the closest of friends, and when a
year ago Mr. Sargent died. Miss Fan
cher's . self-control gave way and she
grieved that she could not .also die. Then
her nephew took up his residence la her
house.
' Survived Her Doctor.
Mips Faricher. had as her physicians
Dra Flet gpelr and Dr. Robert Ormis
ton. 'LoJigT-jago Dr. Spelr died, but Dr.
Ornrfston continues his visits regularly.
All these years thfese physicians cared
for her without charge.
Her,, ailment Is Gne that cannot be
cured. Sba is less deformed now than
when first Inured, for she can use her
hands and arms ireely. The. lower part
of fcerf-body; la useless, und he eight
was- nlmost destroyed but Dow she se
aij)y: v: - k t , t . r, .
Formerly. she; was utterly helpless, but
she has learned to help herself lq many
ways, jiand occupies herself with caring
for her two parrots, five other birds arid
s greyhbund," all' : of 1. which '- llv in the
room-With her.- Another occupant of 'her
oa la av but It dos not livs in the
room with the Invalid, like the birds and
the dog.
, During, the. latter part of the '0s and
the '70s, Miss Fancher was famous as a
clairvoyant, and strangers sought her
acquaintance because of her supposed
supemortnal gifts. She would go into
trances, and her prophesies were many
and varied.
' The disease which affected her spine
seemed not, to. affect, her braid, or to
depress her spirits, for the first ten or
fifteen years, but --the changes that time
brings, and particularly to one shut up
AS she has been, have affected her spirits
of late 'yes,. ; Very many people who
knew'er arid Interested vtheoiaelve in
her behalf are" gone, and" hew f.riendM are
not so cidse to her as those" who knew
her -early life. ,, . .
j, .Long, years ago a New York lawyer,
who later became Tweed's counsel and
died full twenty years ago, visited Molly
Faneher at the request of a friend and
Interested himself in her case. He found
that so long a time had elapsed since
her Injury that the Brooklyn City Rail
road Company could not be made to pay
damages, it did grant her a pension,
however. -
' Draws $400 Yearly.
, ' Miss Fancher told q, reporter who vls-
,rted.her the other, day that she was in
Receipt pf an Income of 1400 a year from
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
now and had been for some years. This
sum, she said, and $3S . month from the"
rental of the store over which she lives,
comprises her whole Income. She owns
the house, in which she lives, the gift of
tlie aunt who nursed her- until her own
death, but it is heavily , mortgaged, and
Miss Fancher fears that It may be lost
to her. , She has no one now to look aher
her interests since the death of Mr.
Sargent, and sometimes she has a tenant
in her store and sometimes she has not.
;' BhQ occupies the second floor of the
building, which is a three-story brick
house and stands on the southeast corner
of Gates avenue and Downing street
The upper floor she does not try to
rent, as she cannot endure the noise and
motion that tenants would make.
: Miss Fancher does fancy work, partic
ularly embroidery, and occupies herself
with some kind of work every day. She
takes care of her birds, ha vinr their
cages brought to her bedside. . ,
From the beginning of , the malady
Miss Fancher has never eaten solid
foods, and her diet" consists .mainly, of
stapes, grape Juice, oranges and different
illqulds. She .has no teeth. Is almost
sightless., has Jh sense of taste, and has
not stood on Hier feet since ghe was a
yotnig girL . O - . "
. For many years she was extremely
emaciated, but ; .now sh has 'grown
somewhat stout, and her body, at least
her arms, and her face are fleshy. Her
complexion is fair, and her hair, which
curls about her brow, is growing gray.
Today ahe looks but little changed,
except that she Is no longer the emaci
ated being she was years ago. and Is
much heavier In weight. Many, people
visit her, among others, members nt the
Klng'B Daughters, and her room rarely
lacks flowers.
But her need of ft companion Is felt
when the day ends and she Is left alone.
Then she feels the dreary monotony of
her life and the solitude hi irksome to
her.
Says She ITtrer Sleeps.
She has always insisted that she never
sleeps, but she never hss any sense of
weariness of the kind that follows ex
ertion, and that her brain is never at
rest. When her sunt lived with her she
was with her fit night, and she was au
thority for the statement that Molly
was never asleep when she was near
her.
Lately Miss Fancher has grown more
despondent and nervous, and weeps over
the loss of her friend Mr. Sargent. whQ$e
death left her without any adviser. She
complained to the reporter thut people
Intruded upon her privacy, and got into
her house, and even Into her room, with
out her consent, and she said that many
false statements had been made In the
newspapers about her.
No one tan look upon herein her pitiable-helplessness
without realizing - to
some extent her sad existence, but lt 'is
impossible' to ignore the fact that her
llf like almost all lives has Its com
pensations. She Is troubled now about
her future financial condition, but be
yond this she has none of the trials that
go with a life of activity and responsi
bility, v
She does' not know anything of .the
outside world; pays but little attention
to It, and her world Is contained In the
four walls of her room. Her doctor says
she may live for many years; hef gen
eral health Is excellent, and. barring the
effects of worry, she. Is likely to enjoy
good health. Her mind is that of a
young person, and her vivacity and ani
mation are at times remarkable.' ,;
The Society for Psychical ' Research
has considered her case, as have other
societies, and ell the medical organisa
tions know about her.
At the office of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company it was admitted that
the company paid Miss Fancher the an
nual sum of 1400 in quarterly install
ments., The obligation, one of the offi
cers said, was assumed by the old com
pany, and had been inherited by the
Rapid Transit Company. ;
