Guide to the Grace Visher Payne Papers
Open for research.
Grace Visher was born in Chicago. She studied at the University of South Dakota, and in 1912 married Jo Denny Payne. In 1922 the Paynes applied to the Board of Foreign Missions and were assigned to the East Persia Mission. Between 1922 and her retirement from service in 1956, Payne worked as an evangelical and medical missionary with women and children in Teheran.
This collection consists of two manuscripts. One, an autobiography covering the Paynes' first ten years in Iran, and a novel. This collection also contains two short articles on Iran.
