Who Were the Martyrs of Memphis?

Who Were the Martyrs of Memphis?

Sisters Constance, Thecla, Ruth, and Frances along with the Rev. Charles Parsons and the Rev. Louis Schuyler died 146 years ago during the 1878 yellow fever epidemic. For some of the group, this was not their first experience nursing yellow fever victims far from home despite never training as nurses. Who were these women and men? Why did they come to Memphis and, critically, why did they stay?

St. John's parishioner Caroline Carrico takes us on a journey to imagine Memphis a decade removed from the Civil War, discuss the city’s fraught relationship with yellow fever, and consider the Martyrs of Memphis’s decisions and actions. Along the way, we’ll reflect on what it means to be a martyr and ask why their story remains important to us as people of faith today.
