My grandmother on my fathers side must have been a pretty strong woman.  She managed to raise five strapping kids and live for 70 years.  I don't know how much her husband helped out since he was off in Alaska chasing gold when the kids were growing up.

My mom always called her "Old Elly Jessup".

Ella Vautier was a sanipractor, which is kind of like a natural healer.  I think the term was used only locally.  The obit on Ella is quite complementary.
