| Description : |
One of South Australia's earliest women missionaries was Julia Coleridge Farr, daughter of the well-known Julia Warren Farr. She was named after her father's cousin, her godfather Bishop John Coleridge Patteson, who was killed during his missionary work in 1871. In 1894 at the age of 30, Miss Farr began six years working as a nurse and teacher with the mission based on Norfolk Island. It was difficult, as the only qualified nurse, coping with the physical work as well as personality clashes and a degree of discrimination as a woman. In 1901 she returned to Adelaide to care for her ageing parents but continued to work to support the mission. |
