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. Small straw huts are built together closely in a field. This may be a refugee camp during the famine that took place in Jiangsu around 1907. The photograph is marked 1904 but the Morgans did not arrive in China until 1905.
