Extracts from Letters from Mrs. J. G. Kerr, January 22, 1914, and "Memorial Services in Memory of Rev. Henry V. Noyes, of Canton, China"
Death; Missionaries; Death notices; Memorial service; Funeral service; Christianity; God; Duty; Vocation
These two typed sheets include extracts of letters from Martha and Harriet and a paper about the memorial services held for Henry, although some writing with an unknown author precedes both of these excerpts. The letter from Mattie is addressed to her sisters and notify her family in the United States of Henry's death. Henry died shortly after being elected the president of the Medical Missionary Society. Harriet writes to the "Dear Ones at Home" with similar sentiments to Mattie, but outlines how the Chinese reacted to his death more thoroughly, as well as the decor for mourning. The last page, the paper on the memorial services, goes into detail about the decoration and program of Henry's funeral service. It also catalogs Henry's life and his work with the Canton Mission.
