The collection of Hosea and Theresa Howard, missionaries to Burma in the 1850s, had been processed and is now available for researchers. For three years they served at the mission station in Rangoon working with the Karens. Here Mrs. Howard soon started a school comprising twelve children. Rev. Howard was engaged in evangelistic work. On their way back to the US in 1850, their ship wrecked and they were rescued and taken to the island of Mauritius. In 1856, Rev. Howard published a pamphlet titled, “An Account of the Shipwreck of Hosea Howard & Family”, detailing the trip from Burma. ABHS has their missionary correspondence and personal papers, including a copy of the book mentioned above.
