Description: Also included in the International Mission Photography Archive.
Lorenzo and Ruth Bennett Morgan were American medical missionaries in the Jiangsu and Anhui provinces of China, serving under the Presbyterian and Methodist mission boards from 1905 to 1946.
This girl, 19 years old, while picking cherries lost her hold and fell to the ground. She sustained severe compound fracture of both legs below the knee. She was kept in the hospital for three months after which time she went home entirely well. She would certainly have died had she been treated by native methods. The picture was taken just before she went home.
