About Elizabeth Pue
Elizabeth Pue was a publisher and printer, known for Dick's Coffee House.
Elizabeth Pue (fl. 1722 - 1726) was an Irish newspaper publisher, bookseller, and proprietor of Dick's Coffee House.
Biography Following the death of her husband, Richard Pue in 1722, Elizabeth Pue took over the publishing business and running of their coffee house, Skinner's Row, Dublin. She continued to publish her husband's newspaper, Pue's Occurrences, with Cornelius Carter along with one other work. Their relationship was damaged when Carter sold a successful "fam'd royal eye water" until Pue started selling a similar product, with Pue publicly questioning the reliability and strength of Pue's product.
Pue ceased working for the family business by 1726, with her son Richard taking over. An Elizabeth Pue was buried at Church of St. Nicholas Within, Dublin on 19 December 1749, but this might have been her granddaughter.
