A boil is a skin infection that starts in a hair follicle or oil gland. At
first, the skin turns red in the area of the infection, and a tender lump
develops. After four to seven days, the lump starts turning white as pus
collects under the skin.

Though I haven't found this term in any of my reference books, I remember my
grandmother (two counties away from Howell County) describing some illnesses
as a "rising in the ear" or "rising in the throat." I believe she was
talking about infection because she sometimes spoke of the "corruption" that
drained from a rising in the ear. I know what she called "corruption" is
what we call pus.

Perhaps the swelling caused by infection led to use of the word "rising."

In the 1880 Howell County, Missouri census, Solomon Aiden¹s wife Mary (age
32), is noted to be ³Rising² in the disabilities column of the enumeration.
She has a two-month-old daughter. It seems as if I have seen this before,
but do not recall what it meant. [Indexed by _Ancestry.com_ as ³Aideu²
rather than ³Aiden,² in case anyone wants to look at it.]

And one other small thing, I am transcribing a probate record. Is there an
official terminology for the back fold where the pertinent numbers, names,
etc are listed before filing? I refer to the back of the middle section of a
tri-fold sheet or sheaf, which (when viewed as a copy) looks a little like
an envelope packet? [In this case it is a printed form ³Inventory and
Appraisement, Estate of...,² and so on.]

Thanks,
Janis Walker Gilmore
