"Dr. Ariel Bradley was the first physician of Mecca, and Theodocia, the wife of Jose Chaffee, was the natural nurse of the township. Many preferred her to a physician and in the case of a sick call, "she mounted her white horse and would gallop through the woods or if need be, would plunge into Mosquito Creek and swim boldly across on her errands of mercy"."
