The lonely grave of Harriet Garrison's mother, Amelia, in tiny Girton Cemetery in rural Nachusa,IL. Harriet Garrison(1848-1930) was an early female doctor,lecturer,and medical writer. Born a wealthy farmers daughter, she took an early interest in the human body. She attended seminary in nearby Mt. Morris and later women's college earning a degree in medicine there even though the college had only 2 medical lecture courses. She worked for a local doctor before opening her own successful practice in Dixon,IL, then a town of 2500. She wrote numerous papers on medicine and was invited to lecture throughout the states including at prestigious conferences in New York. Her grave also lies in tiny Girton Cemetery, one of those lonely country cemeteries that you really have to look for to find. The last burial I could find was in the '40s,and a large percentage of the headstones were partially or totally missing....
