Biographical history
Charlotte Leonora Geddie was born on March 10, 1822, in Merigomish, Pictou County, Nova Scotia.
About 1840, she married John Geddie (1815–1872), a clergyman, one of the pioneer missionaries of the South Seas. In 1846, she accompanied her husband to the New Hebrides, a group of islands in the South Pacific Ocean and landed on the island of Aneityum, inhabited by cannibals. Their missionary work among the islanders continued for many years, instructing and converting them, and frequently risking their lives in their endeavours to propagate the gospel. In 1856, their daughter Charlotte Anne joined them at Aneityum, helping her mother to teach the native women.
She died on January 1, 1916, in Malvern, Stonnington City, Victoria, Australia.
