" The weather grew colder each day, and Mary's feet eventually froze. When the family finally arrived in the Valley, their first concern was little Mary's frozen feet. They took her to a doctor and he said her legs would have to be amputated or she would die. Her father protested, "This little girl didn't walk a thousand miles to have her legs cut off. If she dies, she will die with her legs on." (taken from her father James Hurren's find a grave bio, managed by Sonnet Tidwell)
Her father James, traveled to a town some distance away just to get fresh meat to put on her legs, to assist with any type of healing that might take place.
Accordng to information from the 1960 Reeder family book, there was some healing that took place because of this application of fresh meat on the frostbitten limbs.
