Who was M. C. Sturdevant among the Seventh-day Adventist missionaries?
Obituary STURDEVANT.---Elder M. C. Sturdevant was born near Onarga, Illinois, U. S. A., April 5, 1865 and died at his home in Sheridan, Illinois, August 18, 1933, at the age of sixty-eight years. At the age of nine years he was converted and joined the Methodist Church. In the fall of 1879 he heard the truth as taught by Seventh-day Adventists and with his father and eldest brother began the observance of the Sabbath and kindred truths. On September 14, 1886 he was united in marriage with Miss Maggie Foreman. To this union were born two sons, the younger dying in infancy. Years later the older son passed away at the Solusi Mission, Bulawayo, South Africa. In 1892 he with his family went south to Tennessee where he was engaged in the canvassing work. A few years later he began work for the coloured people of Alabama, where a church was raised up. Ten years were spent in the south. In 1902, the call came for him and his family to go to South Africa. On March 5, 1902, they left New York arriving at Cape Town April 1. One week was spent at the Cape when he left with his family for Solusi Mission, arriving there April 17. He laboured there eight and one half years. In November, 1910, he opened the Inyazura Mission labouring there four years when failing health compelled him to give up mission work. The year 1915 was spent in Johannesburg where he worked for both Europeans and natives. In May, 1916, he returned to Rhodesia working in Umtali. After labouring there for two years he was called to Durban to work for the Europeans, later working for the Indian people. He also laboured in Barberton and Kingwilliamstown. In 1929 he and his wife left Africa for the homeland. One year was spent labouring for the church in Ottawa, Ill. On account of failing health he was compelled to give up all work. In his last hours he was often heard in prayer for the work of God and his many friends. He leaves his wife and one sister and many friends to mourn their loss, but they sorrow not as others which have not the blessed hope. Words of comfort were spoken by Elder E. R. Potter to a large assembly of friends and neighbours. MRS. M. C. STURDEVANT.
