Individual:
From Caryl Ilene (Smith) Okamoto: Granddaughter of Mary Cisela Stuart Rodgers - Typewritten notes:
Grandma Rodgers was pretty special. She would witch water. She took a fork from a peach tree, held one end of the fork in either hand, held the point straight out from her body, adn started walking. Sometimes she would walk over a plot of land and find no water. But when she did find water, the pointed end of the forked stick would turn straight down to the ground. She could tell how far down the water was by counting her steps from the point where she first felt a tremor in the stick until it pointed straight down. A lot of people don't believe this, but I do because I have seen her do it. She witched a well at the house we moved to when I was four. She told my Dad he would have to dig down 28 feet to find water. He dug where she told him, and sure enough there was water. It might not have been exactly 28 feet, but it was pretty close. When we moved to another house when I was eleven, she cane to witch water, because the well on the property was dry. She could not find any water, and we found out later there were no wells anywhere in that area. As long as they lived there, Mother and Daddy had to haul in water from somewhere else. People often asked her to find water for them. They would come and get her and take her to their property. They offered to pay her, and although they were very poor and really could have used the money, she said it was a gift from God, and she would not take pay.
Grandma could also cure ringworm. Years ago, ringworm was common, and a nuisance. She would spit on her finger and rub it on the ringworm, and within a few days it would disappear. I can't understand this, I have just heard that story all my life, so I have to believe it.
She also loved to play the piano and sing. Sometimes on the farm, if the wind was in the right direction, we would hear her, even though she was some distance away. I don't remember if she sang well, but she certainly enjoyed singing!
