Blanche-Still

 

Dr Blanche Still, DO, (1876-1959) daughter of Dr Andrew T. Still, founder of osteopathy, similar to his father had a stroke later in life and no longer she could speak English. After her stroke she could only speak in Shawnee tribe language, giving rise to the idea that English may have been her second language and Shawnee language was the first language she learned.
