Description
-
The missionary band trekking their way up a stream. At least four women and two men are visible, with several others possibly behind people and in the background. Alfred Johns is wearing his university sports jersey and has his trousers rolled up. Both men and women are wearing pith helmets. The women's skirts drag in the water. Tall corn stalks can be seen in the background along the stream bank.
The caption mentions "Mrs. Goolish, MEM." However, there is no Goolish's in missionary name lists. What they probably meant was Miss Golisch of the Women's Methodist Episcopal Foreign Mission Society. Miss Golisch is mentioned in numerous missionary name lists and narratives from the same time period.
