Mrs. Carr was the daughter of the Rev. J. E. Newman of Alabama founder of the first Brazil mis- sion. whose credentials were given him by Bishop William Wightman, and who labored in Brazil ten years before help was sent to him. Mrs. Carr was but fifteen years old when she went with her father to Brazil and labored there in the mission work with him for twenty years. With the practical training which she received In the South American mis- sion fields, she was so well fitted to fill the office of a deaconess that she only had to remain nine weeks at the Searritt Bible and Training school at Kansas City, to be awarded a certificate
