Nell was born on her parent's homestead in the middle of winter and was very premature. She only weighed 1 pound and 14 ounces. She was kept in a shoe box in the warning oven and fed with an eyedropper. Although delivered by a midwife neighbor, the doctor was summoned and said she would never live and, if she did, was not developed enough to be able to 'lead a normal life' such as be educated, marry or have children. She graduated from school with honors, married, had four children and lived to be 82 before she passed away.
