Abby Day Slocomb (October 5, 1836 – December 6, 1917) was an American inventor, philanthropist and historic preservationist. Born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, she descended from a Connecticut Revolutionary soldier and was a Quaker. After marrying Cuthbert H. Slocomb in 1860, she served as a nurse during the American Civil War. Her husband was a Confederate officer and the cannon used by his unit was named "Lady Slocomb" in her honor. He died in 1873, leaving his share of the lucrative hardware firm, Slocomb, Baldwin & Company, to his wife and sister, Ida A. Richardson. In addition to her earnings from the business, Slocomb filed several patents. She donated windows to the historic Christ Church Cathedral in New Orleans and helped the Ladies Aid Society raise money to save the church.
