Susan Cox (née Bomberger; c. 1827 – 1901) served as a Union nurse during the American Civil War.

She was the second wife of Isaac "Ike" Cox, a Canadian-American blacksmith, whom she married in 1847 in West Jefferson, Ohio.

Because Cox remained with the same regiment, and spent much of her time with them at Fort Donelson, her experiences weren't as varied as the stories of some Civil War nurses.

They also passed out supplies, wrote letters for soldiers and read to them, cooked and served meals, and did laundry.

[3] This work exposed Cox to enemy fire and camp life difficulties as she cared for the ailing soldiers.
