The Blind School founded by Amy Oxley near the North Gate in Foochow (Fuzhou), where blind children were taught to use Braille (created by Ms. Oxley), life and vocational skills.
The Foochow Blind Boys band that toured Foochow and the Commonwealth.
CMS Girl’s School, Nantai Island Clara Lambert was the head of the CMS girl’s school on Nantai Island for a while, and Dorothy Stubbs was the Assistant Principal. They owned the Wilkinson house after they left. (Their official papers at the U of Birmingham has it that the Wilkinsons both resigned from the field in 1921. Their children would have been in their teens.)
Hi,Ellyn,
We have now finished our manuscript on Amy Oxley Wilkinson and it will be published in time for her 150th Birthday on 13 January, 2018.
We noticed that you say that Clara Lambert and Miss Stubbs bought the Wilkinson Kuliang house after they returned to England….do you have any evidence that the Wilkinsons actually OWNED their house or were just renting it?
Thanks,
Linda & Robert Banks
Greetings Linda, It is so exciting to know that your book will be out next January. What good news. I will be writing you at your email address with the other information. The Kuliang team is excited to know that the history of one of the older residents on the mountain is going to be published. Thank you so much!!
