I figured that the special healing gift must be in the Palmer line. My great-grandmother, who would have been Russell Porter's niece, was pretty well-known in East Texas as a faith healer. But she would never tell anyone exactly what she did, because she said the power really comes from God, and not from her personally. She also was an expert spinner, dyer, and weaver, as were so many women at that time. Cousin Joyce
