Murder by Vaccine Is Age Old: Raggedy Ann

The Origins of Raggedy Ann

 

Raggedy Ann was introduced to the world in 1918 by Johnny Gruelle, a well-known political cartoonist and illustrator of children's books. The character debuted in Raggedy Ann Stories (Chicago:Volland, 1918), a children's book containing 12 stories about the rag doll. Her little brother, Raggedy Andy, was introduced by Gruelle in 1920, in Raggedy Andy Stories (Chicago:Volland, 1920). The original Raggedy Ann doll belonged to Gruelle's mother. It was found in an attic chest by his daughter, Marcella. This doll had no face, and it was Gruelle who put the famous black eyes, triangle nose, and separated mouth on that original doll. Marcella Gruelle was suffering from the effects of being inoculated twice with the powerful smallpox vaccine. To keep up her spirits, Johnny Gruelle created stories about Raggedy Ann to keep his daughter entertained. In 1915, Marcella succumbed to the infection and died. Three years later, Gruelle wrote Raggedy Ann Stories in her memory. To aid in the selling of books, the Gruelle Family created a doll that was sold along with it. Although the Raggedy Ann books were successful, the dolls became more popular. Books, dolls and other items about Raggedy Ann, Andy and the other characters created by Gruelle proliferate to this day. There are Raggedy Ann collectors all over the country.
