Mary Everest
Boole was born on born in England in 1832. She was born not long after her father Dr. Thomas Everest, a minister,
moved the family to Poissy, France in order to cure his serious illness. At the time, Mary was five years old and her brother,
George, was only two. Although growing up in Poissy gave Mary a chance to be exposed to a different culture and language,
life was sometimes difficult and lonely. For example, it was hard for the Everest's, coming from the tradition of an English
minister, to live in a town that was French Catholic.

Dr. Everest believed strongly in homeopathy, a medical system whose
main objective was to promote health and prevent disease. Some customs of homeopathy were extreme, such as baths in ice water
to help resist disease. It was during Dr. Everest's curing process that Mary stayed very loyal to him, even participating
in some of the homeopathic customs.
