Mrs. George Returns to America

MRS. DR. A. W. GEORGE, whose husband died last spring at Friedensau, Germany, returned to America with the General Conference Council delegates, and will spend a year or more with Dr. George’s parents, in Nebraska. Dr. George, it will be remembered, was engaged in the medical missionary work in Turkey. He was a missionary indeed, and the little companies in Turkey deeply feel their loss. Mrs. George, with her infant child, comes to America for a needed rest, and in the hope of improving her health. She was engaged as a nurse for several years at the Friedensau Sanitarium before going to Turkey to help the doctor in his missionary work. Writing of this sad loss to the cause, Elder I. H. Evans says: “While at Friedensau one Sabbath evening as the sun was setting, I stood beside his grave, and thought of the great needy field that he had left, of the widow, and of the little orphan child, whose face he had never seen. There I prayed that God would send other laborers to take up the burden which Dr. George was compelled to lay down, and that God’s blessing and comfort might rest upon the widowed mother and orphaned child.”
