About
Jump to
Edward Hicks Hume (1876–1957) was a missionary doctor and educator best known for his work in China for the Yale-in-China Mission and his writings on Chinese medicine. After some twenty years of medical work, which included organizing the Hsiang-Ya Medical College, which still functions in Changsha today, Hume resigned over the issue of turning control over to Chinese during the anti-imperialist campaigns of 1925–1927. He died in Wallingford, Connecticut, February 8, 1957. The Humes had five children: Theodore Carswell (1904–1943); Charlotte Elizabeth Hume Freeman (1906–1994); Margery (1909–1911); Edward Welch (1913–1915); and Kathrina Joy Hume Falk (1917–1986). Lotta Hume (1876–1976) died on February 17, 1976, in La Jolla, California.
