Tears for Tanna: In Memory of Mary Ann Paton (March 3, 1859)

TEARS FOR TANNA
In Memory of Mary Ann Paton (March 3, 1859)

19 year-old Mary Ann Paton died 165 years ago today, just 19 days after giving birth to her firstborn son on Tanna, at that time an island of cannibals, where she was serving faithfully with her missionary husband, John G. Paton.

The following is an excerpt from Tears for Tanna, a book I am editing/writing, which is coming out (Kindle) later this week @ JohnGPaton.com.
