“According to older people who knew Easter (Esther) she was a short heavy person. They always said she was about as broad as she was long. She knew all about herbs and their use and in her way practiced medicine. Very few doctors were available in those days so she kept busy, caring for the sick the best she knew how. A copperhead snake bit her one day while she was gathering cabbage, knowing what to do she survived.” Pauline Lentz Frick
