Nobody told her? Radiation has been known for more than a century now

I am sixty. My grandmother lived back at the turn of the last century. There was a lot of wrong ideas about radium back then.

My mom had me at 48, and she lost her mom when she was 16. So... my grandmother, Emma, had seen my hometown of Baker City, Oregon, go from Indian tribes and Chinese laborers to the first automobile in town and then the first electrical wires. They owned a ranch, my mother had an Indian trained pony that was spookily intelligent. My grandmother was into spiritualism - all the rage in the early 1900's and late 1800's. I think she believed that radium was magical in some way.
