Title	Grace McClurg Carson Photographs
Subject	Ohio Women Religion in Ohio Education Missionaries Missions Teachers
Place	Lima (Ohio) Allen County (Ohio) China
Description	Five 5.5" x 4" (13.97 cm x 10.16 cm) photographs were taken by Grace McClurg Carson, a Lima, Ohio native who served as a missionary in China from 1912 to 1926. Her photographs show people she met on her travels throughout the Chinese countryside. Grace McClurg Carson (1884-1979) graduated from Lima High School in 1902 and attended the local normal school for one year. She then taught for three years; one year in a country school and two years at the Lincoln Building in Lima. From 1906 to 1908, she attended the Chicago Training School for City, Home and Foreign Missions, and then continued her studies at Northwestern University, graduating in 1912. Upon graduation, the Methodist Church sent her to Hinghwa, China as a missionary. The Hinghwa Mission Province in Fukien, China, was started in 1890 by Reverend Dr. Harold Brewster and his wife under the direction of the Methodist Board of Missions. It stayed in operation until all such facilities were closed by the Chinese Communists after 1948. Carson served at Hinghwa as teacher and supervisor of the girls' boarding school from 1912 to 1926, returning to the United States for one two-year furlough from 1918-1920. Upon her return to the United States in 1926, she began teaching social studies at the Lima High School, continuing until her retirement in 1948. While serving in China, she became friends with Reverend F. Stanley Carson and his wife, Grace. The Carsons were assigned to the same province and served there from 1905 to 1941. After Carson's first wife died in 1956 after a lengthy illness, he and Grace McClurg were married. They resided together in Lima until their deaths.
