Emily Anne Beaufort Smythe, Viscountess of Strangford: philanthropist, youngest daughter of Sir Francis Beaufort (1774-1857) and wife of Percy Ellen Frederick William Smythe, the 8th Viscount Strangford and 3rd Baron of Penshurst (1826-1869). Upon her husband's death, she went through four years of training in a hospital, and devoted herself to nursing, founding the National Society for Providing Trained Nurses for the Poor. In 1876, following the suppression of the April Uprising in Bulgaria, she organized the Bulgarian Peasant Relief and traveled to Bulgaria to oversee the relief works. She also established temporary hospitals and helped political prisoners. During the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878 she organized hospitals in Adrianople and Sophia. She died in 1887, on her way to Port Said where she was to open a hospital for British seamen.
