Born September 9, 1862, in
Armstrong county, Pennsylvan-
ia, the deceased was married to
Dr. George Purucker in the lit
tle Pennsylvania church where
Amelia Earhart's grandfather
was pastor. Dr. Purucker prac
ticed in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia
and Emsworth, Pa., and in 1910
the couple came west to Med
ford because of his broken
health. Engaging in nursing
for a time after their arrival
Mrs. Purucker later opened
maternity home which she con
ducted for 18 years.
It was during this period that
her unusual gift for caring for
babies came to be known far
and wide in this region. She
could tell unerringly from what
dietary difficulties or illness
they suffered. Many of the little
ones were cared for without
thought , of remuneration, be
cause, as Auntie Purucker often
said, "I just hate to see babies
suffer.
Upon her retirement from
conducting the maternity home
in January, 1939, Auntie Pu
rucker figured she had acted as
chief assistant to the Jackson
county stork exactly 1,800 times,
Of these babies, the late Wins
ton Mathew, San Francisco at
torney, was her first; Loren Ed
ward Leach, son of Mr. and Mrs
Edward Leach, of route 2, was
the last.
' But her restless and bound
less energy would not permit
complete retirement, and soon
Mrs. Purucker had converted
the former maternity home Into
a boarding house which she con
ducted until her last illness.
