About Mary Elizabeth Harrold
Mary Elizabeth Harrold was a healer whose touch was said to "stop the flow of blood in animals" and who "read fortunes in tea leaves." (Dickey Encyclopedia). Her daughter-in-law, Ella Eskridge, tells of a frantic ride by wagon to bring son Ephraim to Mary Elizabeth, who cured him of pneumonia.
Before she died in 1920, in Laredo Texas, she was living with youngest son James Albert Dickey. A descendant of James Albert, Darrin Dickey, says he was told that Mary Elizabeth was "Half- Cherokee." Though other Harrold descendants also have an oral tradition of Native ancestry, Native lineage has not been proven or disproven in genealogical research. (Note: An oral tradition of "Cherokee" can sometimes indicate ancestry in another Indian tribe.)
Mary Elizabeth's paternal ancestors were Quakers, who have a tradition of 'spiritual healing.'
