Goerke-Shrode, Sabine
[48]
[WAYITWAS-2000-48]
Health care has always been a concern to the families settling in a new area. Early pioneers had to rely on their skills and knowledge, treating common ailments with herbs and other substances then thought to be beneficial. Almost every housewife had her own stash of medicinal supplies with which to doctor her family. Some women gained quite a lot of experience and people would seek them out for advice and help.

And after that, the Legislature moved to Benicia in February 1853, where it stayed until February 1854.
