Mary Reed (missionary)
Mary Reed (1854–1943) was an American Christian missionary to India. For the first ten years of her career, she worked as a school teacher in her home state of Ohio. In 1884, she went to India as a missionary of the Cincinnati Branch of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and entered upon zenana missions work at Kanpur, Cawnpore. In 1890, she became conscious of a strange physical disability, and thinking that her health was failing, returned to the U.S. on a furlough. While recovering in Cincinnati came the dread suspicion and subsequent discovery that the malady was leprosy. At first, she was overwhelmed with the realization, but she quickly decided to give her life to work among the lepers in India, and her thoughts turned to Pithoragarh, among the foothills of the Himalayas, at the base of Chandag Heights, where a group of lepers lived in whom she had already become interested. Her suspicions as to the nature of her disease were confirmed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Mary Read
Mary Read (died April 1721), was a pirate who served under John Rackham. She and Anne Bonny were among the few female pirates during the "Golden Age of Piracy". Much of Read's background is unknown. The first biography of Read comes from Captain Charles Johnson's 1724 book, ''A General History of the Pyrates''. According to Johnson, Read was born in England, dressed as a boy much of her childhood, eventually joined the military and later moved to the West Indies. Though Johnson's version of events has become generally accepted, there is little evidence to support them. At an unknown date, Read traveled to the Bahamas where she became acquainted with the pirate John Rackham. Around August 1720, she joined Rackham's crew, alongside Anne Bonny. Together they stole the sloop ''William'' from Nassau harbor. Read's time as a pirate was short lived, as she, Bonny, and Rackham were arrested in October 1720. Rackham was executed in November, but Read and Bonny both claimed to be pr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
