About Amelia B. Coppuck Welby
- Amelia B.
- Coppuck Welby (pen name, Amelia; nickname, "Minstrel-girl"; February 3, 1819 - May 3, 1852) was a 19th-century American fugitive poet.
- In 1837, under the pen-name "Amelia," she contributed a number of poems to the Louisville "Journal," acquiring a reputation as a notable poet.
- She published in 1844 a small volume of poems, which quickly passed through several editions.
- It was republished in 1850, in New York City, in enlarged form, with illustrations by Robert Walter Weir.
- Though many of her poems were on the subject of death, including "The Bereaved", "The Dying Girl", "The Dying Mother", "The First Death of the Household", "The Mournful Heart", and "Sudden Death", she was one of the most popular poets in the South before the Civil War.
