Adventist History: The Story of Two Adventist Medical Missionaries

13 Sep 2023

This week in Adventist history, we revisit the lives of two Adventist medical missionaries, Etta Elizabeth Littlejohn Bradford and Cora Mae Abbott.

Etta Elizabeth was born in Mississippi on September 15, 1883. Nearing the 1900s, she took a nursing course at the New England Sanitarium in Massachusetts and worked as Ellen White’s nurse’s assistant.

Cora Mae was born in South Dakota on September 14, 1877. Approaching the 1900s, she attended Union College in Nebraska and trained as a nurse at the Boulder Sanitarium in Colorado.

Elizabeth Henry tells us more about their stories on This Week in Adventist History. Visit https://encyclopedia.adventist.org/ for more Adventist stories and events.
