    • [Willey Family Tree 16 Jan 2005.FTW]

      Polean, Poleana, Pauline.
      Besides all the farm work Pauline had, she was also a neighborhood 'do ctor' with home remedies and she was a midwife for twenty-five years . Many times neglecting her own health to go out in pouring down rai n to minister to a sick friend. Her husband would saddle up a horse i n the middle of the night and she would ride off not to return till da y break. She would return with a smile on her face and the news of a fine baby girl or boy. She did not charge and she had a remedy for ev erything.
      Her husband bought an apple orchard and they moved. It was during th e tuberculosis outbreak that several of their neighbors became ill an d died. Pauline was usually the first there to help with the neighbor s. She would take over the job of washing, dressing, and folding thei r hands and putting nickles over their eyes. She did this for three generations in one family, a woman, her daughter and granddaughter. Ev eryone around there were kin folk and they just did not do these jobs . She was a blessing to all.
