IN MEMORIAM

Anna Agnes Abbott

Miss Anna Agnes Abbott, age 86, retired missionary to India, passed

away May 4, 196o at Kingsley Ma.nor, a Methodist Home in Los Angeles, California.

Born in Payson, Illinois, August 21, 1873, she was graduated from the

Lucy Rider Meyer Deaconess Training School in Chicago in 1899, attended Chicago

University and Biblical Seminary, receiving her A.B. degree from Albion College

in 1920.

Prior to leaving for the mission field Miss Abbott taught school for

two years, and served as a deaconess in Chicago for five and one half years.

She sailed for India in 1900 under the auspices of the Northwestern Branch of

the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society, serving in Muttra, God.bra, Bombay,

Basim, Puntamba, and Poona. During her years of service her work was varied

and included both educational and evangelistic work. Her physical resources

gave way at one time and she was invalided home and spent practically five

years in Cli~on Springs Hospital. She returned to India and took up her

work again. Because of the difficul t;y of findin;; someor.e able to carry on

her work, she remained on the field until she was 74 years of at;e. She

officially retj.red in September 194·9, mah:ing her hon:e in California.

Probabl::; her ;:;reatest cont.ribution on the fielJ 1.;as tile :µreraration,

producin,; and dis -cributino;; of Mara-chi 11 terature. Si1e publisheJ. e. cc: .. preLensi ve

bibliography of reading material, and translated and published more books to

-2-

supply the lack of certain subject materials, as she had discovered the need

in her contacts with schools and the people of the churches. She was a valuable

member of the All India Literature Committee, sharing her knowledge of needs

with members of other lalloCTUB.ge areas.

During her retirement Miss Abbott maintained her devotion to the

work which had occupied her mind and heart for a long life of service to the

church in India.

In Laura Austin 1 s words - "The good she did lives after her."
