Penrod was born 20 November, 1836, in Ana, Jackson County, Ill¬inois, a son of John and Barbara Tope Penrod. John's family joined the Church in 1842. Barbara Tope Penrod was a practical nurse and very capable in caring for the sick, treating her patients skillfully with roots and herbs. John and Barbara were parents of 11 children. She was left a widow at age 44. She later brought her family to Utah with the Pioneers. William H.H. Penrod was called 'Doc' because of an old tradition that the seventh son of a family would be a doctor. Doc really did follow in his mother's footsteps, learning to care for the sick and also treating them with roots and herbs gathered in the forest and plains. Doc was 15 years old when he walked along the trail from the Missouri River 166
