Known as Aunt Mary in the neighborhood & was the one people came for when a baby was born or someone was sick. She knew all the wild herbs & how to use them.
When Belle & Tommy Holland were "courting" Mary was bedfast. Letter of 12 Jan 1999 from Earnestine Dawson Gerdanc: ... Grandma told me her and Aunt Belle's mother (Mary Hoover Cole) died with cancer of the face and her face was all eaten away and she was blind so grandma walked 5 miles every day to bathe her and cook and feed her and make her bed.
