- Adolphus Clemens Good Papers
- Description
-
Adolphus Clemens Good was appointed in 1882 by the Board of Foreign Missions to the West Africa Mission of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. Initially assigned to the Baraka Station, he was transferred to the Ogowe River area in 1884 and spent the bulk of his career there. In addition to his work as a teacher and evangelist, Dr. Good studied bird and animal life in the Ogowe Valley and in the Cameroon, as well as the ethnology and religious beliefs of various West African tribes. He also prepared a text on Bulu grammar which was published posthumously. Consists of Dr. Good's journals and notes, his papers on the religious beliefs of the Gabwa and the role of women among the Bulu, and miscellaneous Bulu language items. The collection also contains various personal items, including letters sent to his widow, Lydia B. Walker Good. View the collection guide to learn more.

- Mission doctor cited by Jaycees.
- Description
- Text transcribed from caption: P-32004 MISSION DOCTOR CITED BY JAYCEES TULSA, Okla. -- Dr. Daniel E. Fountain, 34, an American Baptist medical missionary in the Congo, was cited as one of the Ten Outstanding Young Men of 1964 by the U. S. Junior Chamber of Commerce in Tulsa. He is shown removing an arrow from the back of a Congolese Army soldier in Vanga who had been ambushed by rebels. Vanga, largest Protestant mission station in the Congo, is located in the Kwilu Province, where rebels have been active for about a year. However, they have not penetrated the area surrounding the mission. Dr. Fountain, son of a Baptist minister, is now in the U.S. where he is studying eye surgery at Willis Eye Hospital, Philadelphia.
