Sadie Goes To Korea: The Early Life of Sarah Harvey Nourse and Her First Year as Missionary to Korea, 1899-1900

By Priscilla Welbon Ewy

Sadie Nourse Welbon (n e Sarah Harvey Nourse,1872-1925) was born into a family of very carefully documented heritage and was called to be a missionary to Korea in 1899. In the mission field, she met her husband Arthur G. Welbon and served until 1919, when they returned home due to her illness. Although her husband Arthur returned to the mission field in 1921, Sadie could not join him and died in the States in 1925. Arthur served until his death from typhoid fever in 1928 and was buried in Yanghwajin Foreign Missionary Cemetery in Seoul beside their two children. This book, organized and compiled by their granddaughter, Priscilla Welbon Ewy, is the first of the Welbon Korea mission document series, covering the years of 1899 - 1900. Other books include, Arthur Goes To Korea, 1900-1902, Daily Life with the Presbyterian Missionaries in Seoul, Korea, 1903-1905, Years of Expansion on the Korea Mission Field, 1906-1909, and The Opening of the Andong Presbyterian Mission, 1909-1911. Continued compiling is in progress. This work was possible because of the materials saved by their son, Henry G. Welbon.
