Wasting away in Massachusetts: Dora Mills and the scourge of tuberculosis [Part 2]

Continued from part 1

Given that TB is that infectious, I'm not sure how Joseph Beals (and likely his wife Hattie) visited her a couple times every week without getting infected himself. Did he wear a mask like people are doing with the COVID-19 crisis? [3] At the time that the American Lung Association was formed 11 years after the death of Dora, in 1904, dedicated itself to TB, calling itself the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, the treatment of the disease was not reliable. While purgings and bleedings were occasionally prescribed by physicians but most of the time, "doctors simply advised their patients to rest, eat well, and exercise outdoors" and very few recovered. Thomas Gaetz wrote in his book, The Remedy: Robert Koch, Arthur Conan Doyle, and the Quest to Cure Tuberculosis about the environment of death which pervaded the 19th century:

To live in the 19th century was to experience infectious disease as a constant, to have death loom around any corner, and to always live in fear that a cold, a rash, or a cough might soon be the end of one’s days on earth...The 19th century, though, was a 100-year dirge from one horrid epidemic to another. Cholera, plague, smallpox, yellow fever, influenza, measles—all of these pulsed through growing urban populations of the 1800s, killing thousands and then stealthily retreating for a generation or two, waiting for immunity to fade, before returning to kill thousands once more...All told, the pervasiveness of tuberculosis and the impotence of medicine to treat it created a specter of misery in 19th century Europe and America. To live in this environment would have been to be always reminded of the presence of death.

Although many patients of TB (known as consumption) sought a cure in sanatoriums, with the belief that rest and "a healthful climate could change the course of the disease." This built upon the discovery by Robert Koch in 1882 that TB wasn't transmitted genetically but generally contagious, and was "somewhat preventable through good hygiene." Eventually the medical community embraced the findings of Koch, with U.S. later launching "massive public health campaigns to educate the public on tuberculosis prevention and treatment." TB even shaped Victorian fashion. When Dora died, the skin test for TB was years off, with Clemens von Pirquet and Charles Mantoux developed the test in 1907 and 1908, with extracts of the tuberculosis bacillus "injected under the skin, and body’s reaction was measured." Even worse, often those infected with TB couldn't afford medical care, leading to increased deaths and suffering, with the last phase of TB as fatal. According to a map shared by Brian Altonen, MPH, MS, focusing on Public Health, Medicine and History, on his blog, focusing on diseases in 1890, TB was prevalent in New England, including in Massachusetts itself.

This post was originally published on WordPress in May 2020.

By 1900, TB had become the second leading cause of death behind pneumonia. Dora wouldn't be saved by Koch's discovery of tuberculin five years before her death, a substance coming from tubercle bacilli. The claims by Koch that it would stop bacterial development of TB, led to disillusionment when the product ended up being "an ineffective therapeutic agent." The continuing research on TB, ramping up in the 1890s, wouldn't stop Dora from dying, but it would help other people in the future, as treatments continued to improve.

TB, an infectious disease of the lungs and other organs undoubtedly ravaged Dora, causing her to slowly waste away before dying on February 5, 1895. When Joseph Beals referred to the "sickness" he was obviously talking about TB as some of its other names were lung sickness and long sickness. In the end, although Dora could not be saved by the medical treatments of TB in 1895, her memory lived on for years to come, including by yours truly, with posts like this one written in her honor.

Notes

[3] The diseases are not the same, as COVID-19 is a virus and TB is spread through bacteria, but the comparison between them is a worthy one due to the focus on COVID-19 at the present. There are definitely parallels between the two types of diseases.

If you remember Girl Defined (ugh), Kristen and Bethany's brother has accused their mother Heidi of unspeakable things

He did a verified AMA on Reddit some time back where he revealed just how much his family failed to protect him as a child victim of SA and now has come out with something even worse

I knew this family was bizarre and disgusting, but this is worse than I ever imagined

My heart hurts for Michael and I believe him wholeheartedly

Heidi you will pay for your crimes one way or another

Wasting away in Massachusetts: Dora Mills and the scourge of tuberculosis [Part 1]

In the past I've written about my great-great grandmother Dora Mills, one of the key ancestors I have focused on as part of this blog, part of the general family story. As a refresher, she was born in Glens Falls, a small town in upstate New York on June 1, 1849, a date derived from my calculations through various records, the daughter of a huge family headed by John Rand Mills and Margaret Ann Bibby. She lived in Warren County, staying in the same town, but also living in nearby municipalities like Bolton and Chester. She later moved to Western Massachusetts after she married Cyrus Winfield "Winnie" Packard sometime after their marriage on November 21, 1881 at the Glens Falls Methodist Episcopalian Church. She would live in Cummington and Plainfield, especially in the latter, until her death in 1895, and would be the mother of Robert "Bert" Barnabas Packard, along with many other children, whose last name was later changed to Mills, becoming Robert Byron Packard (RBM II) after Dora's brother, a hotel proprietor named Robert "Uncle Rob" Byron Mills (RBM I), with Uncle Rob adopting Bert and bringing him to Cincinnati with his wife, Hattie Stanley. As I've written in the past, when Dora died, she did not have a will or administration, and this is because the "attitude of romantic paternalism," prevailed in U.S. law, with men seen as "protectors" of women. Even though Massachusetts (as did New York) had a law which allowed married women to have property at the time, the Massachusetts Supreme Court said this only applied to property a woman "had as separate property” while that she could not own property with her husband jointly. Even if Cyrus believed in this notion, thinking that women should have a "domestic" housework goal, Dora clearly worked outside the home before her marriage, as I have noted that she worked as a shirtwaist worker in the 1880s, and a teacher in the 1870s.

Putting aside the aftermath of Dora's death, as I wrote on my Packed with Packards! blog, Dora died on February 5, 1895 of tuberculosis (TB) in the town of Plainfield, then buried in the Pottersville New Cemetery within Pottersville, a town in Warren County, 35 miles away from her birthplace of Glens Falls, likely because it was near her "surviving family members." I also noted that in West Cummington on May 11, 1895, the Women’s Christian Temperance Union and Mountain Miller Women’s Relief Corps hosted a memorial service for her, meaning that she had ties to both of these organizations. In the documents I looked at which are part of the Packard family file at the Cummington Historical Museum (which I wish I had taken a photograph of), there are documents noting that Joseph Beals, Dora’s brother-in-law (through marriage to Dora's sister Hattie) described Dora as “kind to everybody” and said that he knew Dora through her “sickness," visiting her 2-3 times a week. I speculated that that this indicated she was sick from 1889, when Hattie and Joseph married, to 1895, but that is probably too long of a time frame to be honest.

"Massachusetts Deaths, 1841-1915," database with images, FamilySearch: 6 April 2020), Dora A. Mills Packard, 05 Feb 1895; citing Plainfield, Massachusetts, v 455 p 45, State Archives, Boston; FHL microfilm 961,516.

To get some more information, I looked back at her death record in the death registry and it says that her parents were both born in Great Britain, which is technically correct as Great Britain controlled Ireland at the time, and that she died at home. It also misstated her age, but that's whole other discussion I'm not getting into right now, as that deserves its own post.

This post was originally published on WordPress in May 2020.

Unfortunately, we don't have any further information about her death than the above record and what I have previously mentioned. We know that the complex illness known as TB was called by many names back then, whether "decline" or phthisis, among other names. [1] The latter means a wasting disease and it refers to pulmonary TB. It can also refer to "any debilitating lung or throat affections," a severe cough or asthma as noted by Paul Smith's list of Archaic Medical Terms. As you can see above, her cause of death was listed as "pulmonary phthisis." Phthisis itself is the Greek word for consumption, and is a term formerly used to refer to pulmonary tuberculosis. [2] This form of TB is a "contagious bacterial infection that involves the lungs" and can spread to other organs. This disease is contagious, as the bacteria can spread easily from someone infected to another person. The National Library of Medicine's MedlinePlus site also says the following:

You can get TB by breathing in air droplets from a cough or sneeze of an infected person. The resulting lung infection is called primary TB. Most people recover from primary TB infection without further evidence of the disease. The infection may stay inactive (dormant) for years. In some people, it becomes active again (reactivates). Most people who develop symptoms of a TB infection first became infected in the past. In some cases, the disease becomes active within weeks after the primary infection. The following people are at higher risk of active TB or reactivation of TB: Older adults, [,] Infants [, and] People with weakened immune systems...Your risk of catching TB increases if you...Live in crowded or unclean living conditions...[or] have poor nutrition....The primary stage of TB does not cause symptoms. When symptoms of pulmonary TB occur, they can include breathing difficulty [,] chest pain [,] cough (usually with mucus) [,] coughing up blood [and much more]...You may need to stay at home or be admitted to a hospital for 2 to 4 weeks to avoid spreading the disease to others until you are no longer contagious...Pulmonary TB can cause permanent lung damage if not treated early. It can also spread to other parts of the body.
