Administrative HistoryEleanor Jane Harrison (1872-1930) of Cookley, Kidderminster was formerly an assistant in a library. She was accepted as a missionary with the CMS in 1896 and served with the Fukien [Fujian] mission in China until 1922. She was initially stationed at 'Kosangche'. In 1902, she went to 'Tangtau' on the island of Hai-tan to open a new station. She returned home in 1922 because of family circumstances but rejoined the CMS in 1929. She was murdered by bandits in China in 1930.
