Fanny White

Fanny White, a.k.a. Jane Augusta Blankman (March 22, 1823 – October 12, 1860) was one of the most successful courtesans of ante-bellum New York City. Known for her beauty, wit, and business acumen, White accumulated a significant fortune over the course of her career, married a middle-class lawyer in her thirties, and died suddenly a year later. Rumors that White had been poisoned caused a public outcry, which forced an inquest into her death.
==Early life==
Jane Augusta Funk was born on March 22, 1823 in Cherry Valley, Otsego County, New York, the eldest daughter of farmers Jacob and Jane B. Funk.〔Life and Death, p. 5.〕〔(“Sudden Death of a Notorious Woman” ), ''The New York Times'', October 18, 1860〕 Her mother died when she was just 8 years old, while her father died in 1847.〔(Cherry Valley Cemetery )〕 Funk received a basic education and was considered a bookish girl.〔
At age seventeen or eighteen, Funk "became the victim of a seducer."〔Life and Death, p. 6〕〔Sanger, p. 454.〕 A "seducer" was an older man who seduced naïve young women, often with a promise of marriage, only to abandon them. "Seduced and abandoned" women were considered ruined and were shunned by middle class Victorian society.〔Sanger, p. 495〕 Seduction reportedly was the third most common "cause" of prostitution in New York in the early 1800s, after economic motives and "inclination,"〔Sanger, p. 488.〕 and was viewed as a social problem by moral reformers.〔〔Hill, pp. 140-141.〕
In the fall of 1842, Funk went to New York City, to her older brother John H. Funk, a house carpenter who had moved there six years earlier.〔〔(“The Blankman Will Case Testimony of John H. Funk.” ), ''The New York Times'', March 5, 1861〕〔Bungay, p. 25.〕 Funk's husband would later accuse John of refusing to help his ruined sister.〔(“The Blankman Will Case.” ), ''The New York Times'', February 19, 1861〕 Funk found menial work at a hotel to try to support herself.〔 In 1843, Funk joined a "house of prostitution at 120 Church street," where she assumed her professional name of Fanny White.〔
