Aunt Mandy Nettles was a Mid-Wife and traveled all over delivering babies. She delivered most of the children
in her area and even delivered most of her own grand children. Sometimes she stayed gone for weeks at a time. She made herself
available to the ones that needed her, sometimes without much pay. If there was a sick baby somewhere, she would go and help
take care of it.
