ELIZA LINK, one of the earliest midwives in the county, came here about 1821, with her husband, Christian Link, who was a blacksmith. They settled, at first, about a mile and a half from Carrollton, but afterwards removed into town. Mrs. Link practiced over a large section of territory, and always rode horseback when on her errands of humanity. She attended many of the wives of the old settlers and prominent people, and indeed the wives of the physicians themselves. Her daughter who married a man by the name of Hudson, and who lived on Apple Creek, was a worthy disciple of her mother, and practiced the same profession for years. Mrs. Link died about the year 1854.
