Annie Jones, American Bearded Lady

Annie Jones Elliot (July 14, 1865 - October 22, 1902) was an American bearded woman. Whether the cause of her condition was hirsutism or an unrelated genetic condition that affects children of both sexes and continues into adult years is unknown. When Jones joined Barnum's exhibition as a child of only nine months, her parents received a $150/week salary. By the age of five, she had a mustache and sideburns and became well known as the 'Bearded Girl.' As an adult, she became the country's top 'bearded lady' and acted as a spokesperson for Barnum's 'Freaks', a word she tried to abolish from the business. She died In 1902, at the age of 37, of tuberculosis. The Wonder Book of Freaks and Animals in the Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show on Earth, 1898.
