She deliver 108 babies one set of twins and two still born babies while living at "Twin-Branch". A man once came to get her to deliver his wife and he asked her is she was that "mid-night" doctor. On cold winter months she loved to get her children and set by the warm fire and put on a pot of water to make mush and sing her favorite song "The Uncloudy Day". She was an excellent mother. by Mitzi Mullens
