She was a servant, and her real name was Mary!. I don't recall her last name!. Unfortunately, in several families she worked for, people came down with typhoid fever!. They thought she was a carrier and locked her away for years!. She never got the disease!. I think this happened in New York at the turn of the last century!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I heard it started in france, and then she came to NY, but I can't be sure!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
