Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the Woman's Board of Missions: Of the Interior; Presented at Its Annual Meeting, Held in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Oct; 29& 30; 1884 To go back a twelve month and retrace the way by which our I ord has led us, bringing before your vision to-day the many important and interesting events of the year, with their lights and shadows, is a well nigh hopeless task; hence a brief summary is all that can be given in the time allotted this report. Our list of Executive officers has suffered changes this year. Miss l-iope S. Martyn who came to us in somewhat delicate health, found her strength unequal to the confinement and pressure of work in our rooms, and in June She left us for a period of rest. It was hoped along summer vacation would restore her, but in August She sent her resignation, saying that though She was improving, it was not thought wise to at this time resume her duties. It was with regret we felt obliged to yield to this decision, but in heart and spirit she is still one of us. It is with sadness we have to record the death of one of our Executive Board. After fourteen years of loving, faithful service in this cause, Aug. 3rd, our beloved Miss Mary E. Greene was called home, to go no more out forever. She was born in Boston, April 3rd, 1832, of royal lineage, daughter of David Greene and grand daughter of Jeremiah Evarts. She graduated at Bradford Academy, at the age of 19, soon after the death of her mother in 1851, and the following years were spent at home, bearing the responsibilities that fall upon the eldest daughter in a motherless family. In the Autumn of 1868, two years after the death of her honored father, she removed from the family home, which for many years had been in Westboro, Mass. And came to live with her sister, Mrs. L. H. Boutell, in Evanston, 111. She soon became associated with the work of our Board, then in its first year, and after the Presbyterians withdrew, she was, in Jan. 1870, elected Recording Secretary. Except in 1874, when she was laid aside by illness, she had official connection with our Board. In Feb. 1882, she was invited to visit societies in Wisconsin, and at Watertown was thrown from a carriage and suffered a compound fracture of her left limb.
