The new women doctors from Philadelphia, Ellis and Romania Pratt, did not return to Utah until 1878. Other minor inaccuracies: 1) Ellis had borne five children before she went to school. Three, not four, were left at home. Two had died in infancy. 2) Ellis did not arrive home pregnant in the spring of 1876. Her daughter Olea would then have had a 13-month gestation period. 8.
