Mrs. Ford of the Friends' African Mission, Laboured 14 Years in
Jamaica
Durban, Natal, South Africa, Sept. 9 - Mrs. Helen M. Ford, wife
of Mr. J.W. Ford, of the Friends' African Mission, died at
Kaimosi Mission Station, Kenya, on the morning of Sunday, August
16, and was buried in the afternoon, after a service in the
Kaimosi chapel. The deceased lady, whose, maiden name was Farr,
was born at Oskaloosa, Iowa, U.S.A., on August 25, 1871. She grew
to young womanhood in New England and Iowa, attending the Quaker
School at Oskaloosa. When she was about twenty years of age, her
father, Gilbert L. Farr, felt the call to Christian service in
the Friends' Jamaica Mission, and Helen and her brother Arthur
went with him to Jamaica, where she worked in the mission for
fourteen years.
On August 7, 1901, Miss Farr married Mr. J.W. Ford, and worked
with her husband in Jamaica and the United States until 1914,
when, with their three children, Clara, Esther and Arthur, they
went to East Africa under the American Friends' Board of
Missions. Their home in East Africa was at the Kitosh Station,
and there they laboured zealously and lovingly for the uplift of
the natives. During the past two years Mrs. Ford travelled from
place to place with her husband in his evangelistic tours,
averaging six to eight different camping places each month, a few
days at each place.
The deceased lady was dearly loved by all the native people in
Mount Elgon down to the Maragoli Station, but a few miles from
Kioumu. Hers was the exemplary Christian life, and she will be
greatly missed by all the Missionary societies represented in the
East African field. Hundreds of natives attended the funeral
service, and many were heard to say: "What shall we do
without our white mother to help us in our troubles and care for
our sick children!" The deceased lady's eldest daughter,
Miss Clara Ford, has been teaching the native girls in the
Scottish Mission at Kikuyu for the past few months. Her second
daughter has just finished her college course in the United
States, and is looking forward to going to Africa for mission
work. The youngest child, Arthur, is still at school in America.
