Editing Typhoid Mary (section)

==Biography==
===Early life===
Mary Mallon was born in September 23, 1869 in Cookstown, County Tyrone, Ireland, and emigrated to the United States in 1884.

===Occupations===
Mallon worked as a cook between the years of 1900 and 1907. She moved to Mamaronek, NY, and in just a few weeks, several of the residents developed the dreaded typhoid fever. Mallon then moved to Manhattan, and she unintentionally spreaded the illness to those she was working for. The laundress was the only casualty. Mallon later set her eyes on a lawyer, and she began to work for him. Unfortunately for him, Mary had unwittingly passed the typhoid fever to his relatives, and seven out of eight of the household members developed typhoid.
Basically to wrap this up, Mary was hired by several more people, and she continued to spread the illness everywhere that she went.

===Researching Mary Mallon===
In 1906, a family hired the famous thyroid researcher, George Soper, to investigate the young woman. Soper concluded that Mary was the reason for the recent outbreaks of the thyroid fever. In his investigation of her, he had noticed a pattern between her and the victims. In this pattern, the victim would normally hire a forty year old Irish-American woman to cook for them, and then said woman would leave without leaving a forwarding address. 
When he confronted Mary on her possibly being connected to the recent strings of typhoid fever outbreaks, she whole-heartedly refused to cooperate with the reseacher, and she later proceeded to lock herself in the bathroom and stayed there until he left.
