“Granny Witches” Granny women are purported to be healers and midwives in Southern
Appalachia and the Ozarks, claimed by a few academics as practicing from
the 1880s to the 1930s. They are theorized to be usually elder women in
the community and may have been the only practitioners of health care
in the poor rural areas of Southern Appalachia. They are fancied to not
have expected or received payment, and were respected as authorities on
herbal healing and childbirth. They are mentioned by John C. Campbell in
