Agnes Pember

BIOGRAPHY: John Pember The History of the Pember Family in America Copyright 1939 by Celeste Pember Hazen Page 12

"Concerning Agnes, the g in her name was not commonly pronounced; tradition calls her Inez, and descendants named for her long afterward wrote it Inez. Agnes studied medicine under her grandmother, Joanna Smith, became her assistant, and took over the practice when the grandmother became enfeebled. Calkins' Hist. New London, p 355, mentions Agnes Pember,"who was for many years famous as a nurse and doctress….Tradition related many vivid anecdotes respecting this energetic and experienced race of female practitioners…and unbounded confidence was placed in her skill to stroke for the king's evil, to cure cancers, alleviate asthma, and set bones.""
