Abbie Barton gravestone
Abbie Barton's grave in Bragg's Run Cemetery in Gem, West Virginia.
She was the first US Sister Worker to die.
From Massachusetts, she professed through
Jack Carroll and Hugh Matthews in 1904.
She entered the Work in October 1907 and
began preaching with Agnes Hutchison in West Virginia.
Four months later, she was stricken with typhoid and died in February 1908, aged 27.
Her tombstone states, "She hath done what she could 1880–1908."
Local friends tend her grave in an abandoned rural cemetery and workers visit it.
