Nancy Womble Resident Here Eighty Years: Woman Who Crossed Plains in Childhood Still Bakes Pies
Three years after the Sacramento Union was born, Nancy Elizabeth Leak was born in Iowa, and when she was 6 years old came with her parents across the plains in a covered wagon.  They arrived here in November 1860 after seven months en route.  Nancy Leak, now Mrs. James W. Womble of 2215 L Street has lived here 80 years and now makes her home with her daughter, Mrs. Daisy E. Chappell.

Her father was John L. Leak who became township justice of the north side American river district.  After his death, Mrs. Leak, with a family of six children, married her husband's friend, Isaac Newton Babcock, also a justic and who, at one time, operated a ferry over the American river where the bridge now stands at 12th street.  He was the toll collector for 25 years on American river bridge.

Mrs. Womble, who married when she was very young, was widowed when she was 23 years old.  She nursed in Sacramento homes many years and is widely know.  Her daughter states that she is "well and happy and can still make the best pies and biscuits you ever ate."  In addition to Mrs. Chappell, Mrs. Womble has a son, 11 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
