The Register and Leader of Sunday
has the following notice Of the visit in
that city of Mrs. Carrie Samson Sunder,
a former resident of this county, now
married and living in India. MRs. Sun
der is the daughter of Rev. S. Samson,
of Van Vert.
Having travelled all the way from
Calcutta, India, for glimpse of home
faces, Mrs. Carrie Sunder has for the
last few days been visiting in this city.
To see Mrs. Sander ono would not
imagine that she is accustomed to any
society other than that to be found in
side the conventional walls of the civil
lied drawing room. Yet the fact is
that most of her time is spent on a
small river steamer in the delta region
of the mysterious and historic Ganges
river, penetrating into the most wild
and unexplored jungle regions and
setting foot where white women have
never gone before. Mrs. Sunder, who
is sister Of Mr.. e. d. Samson of this
city, went to India some years ago as a
missionary. There she met Captain
Sunder, wealthy Englishman in the
service of the English government
After romantic courtship, she forsook
the mission school where she has been
working to become his bride and 10 go
with him far into the mysterious re-
gions where his work as commissioner
Of the delta region Of the Gauges took
him. Her husbands work consists in
looking after the native villages in the
interior into which white men seldom
penetrate. He superintends the build
ing up of villages in the jungles and of
providing the natives with work
Often his yearly visits are the only
time the natives ever see white man
and he is looked upon with great awe
and superstition, especially as he knows
something of medicine and is often able
to heal their disease.
Captain Sunder is great sportsman
and the floors of the coy rooms of their
little steamer home are strewn with
costly tiger and leopard skins, such as
would cost small fortune in this
country. Big game abounds in the wild
region along the Ganges, the iungles
being filled with tigers, leopards anc
spotted deer.
Mrs. Sunder has established schools
in several of the villages and the native
grandparents and parents stand abou
in awe and admiration as she instructa
