Description
"Mr. McClellan, Gov. Dist. Collector, Mr. Paterson, Mission gardener." Portrait of two men sitting outside pitched tents. Mr John Paterson joined the original group of missionaries at Kibwezi in 1893 as their Agriculturalist. He continued the job when the mission moved to Kikuyu in 1898 and took on responsibility for the industrial training after the death of Thomas Watson in 1900. He left the mission in 1904 and became a planter at Chania Falls, Thika. The mission was transferred into the care of the Church of Scotland, 1901, which placed Dr David C R Scott and Dr Uffman in charge. This image is from a collection of photographs which possibly belonged to Dr Karl Uffman, son of Dr Henry Uffman of the Leprosy Asylum in Purulia, West Bengal. He studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh and joined the Kikuyu mission from 1901 to 1905.
