Guest: Marian Yoder, WV resident Host: Dale Johnson Description: Spring Run resident Marian Yoder has spent her life forging her own path, redefining expectations to create the life she truly wanted. Raised in a conservative Mennonite community on a dairy farm in Lancaster County, she remained deeply committed to her faith while grappling with the cultural constraints of her upbringing. Her choice to separate faith from tradition led her on an extraordinary journey—one that diverged from the conventional path she was expected to follow as she entered adulthood.

In 1906, George Soper of the New York Department of Health, was asked to conduct a private investigation of an unusual typhoid outbreak in Oyster Bay New York. This fascinating look into medical detective work forms the backbone of Relentless: The Search for Typhoid Mary. At the same time, Mary Mallon - Typhoid Mary, was leading a life she had built starting as a 15-year-old Irish immigrant as a successful cook for New York's wealthy, powerful and important families.
