Description
"Pastor Gaw & family -- W. St Church, Chuanchow." Pastor Gaw was the son of Gaw Hong-pho who became the first pastor of West Street Church, Quanzhou in 1896. The photograph was taken on the occasion of his silver wedding anniversary.
Set of 13 photographs belonging to Annie N. Duncan, a missionary of the English Presbyterian Mission's Women's Missionary Association. She was appointed to the Quanzhou mission station in 1893 where she assumed responsibility for the Girls' School and remained in that post until 1932. "Miss Duncan was sent out by the Scottish auxiliary (of the EPM), and being financed mainly by Sunday Schools throughout Scotland, she was known as 'the Children's Missionary'.
