A big find
« on: Friday 29 October 21 02:23 BST (UK) »
It pays to Google, Google and then Google again.  Today I found something new and truly valuable, an entire 2019 master's thesis about my gg-uncle Robert W. Logan and his wife Mary Fenn Logan. They were missionaries in Micronesia starting in 1874; Robert died there in 1887 and Mary continued working until illness forced her to return to the US where she died in 1899.  I've only just quickly skimmed through it to get an overview but it focuses especially on Mary's ongoing battles with a misogynistic missionary sent out to replace her deceased husband.
