↑ Corrine Hawk Auvil wrote that Elizabeth Polland Auvil "was a person in which her descendants can be justly proud." She was the only doctor and midwife for miles around, and she gathered herbs and roots to make her own medicines. She rode horseback on a sidesaddle. One night, a man came rushing to her explaining that his wife was about to have a baby. He asked how fast she could ride a horse and she replied, "as fast as the horse can run." She never lost a mother during birth. After her family were all gone, she walked five miles to Geff for groceries with a basket of eggs. She also sheared her own sheep. [1]
