Biographical History
The daughter of Benjamin and Eliza Kendall Kidder, Anna H. Kidder grew up in South Merrimac, N.H., and Peacham, Vt. She taught in both places before going to Nashua, N.H., to work in the mills; there she lived in a factory boarding house (1860-1861). She returned home during the Civil War, doing farm work and part-time teaching. After the war she taught freedmen in Hampton, Va., and Wilmington, N.C., and also worked in Ocala, Fl., and at an orphan asylum in Providence, R.I., called the Children's Shelter. In 1875 she left for Tokyo, where she established a school and mission for girls. She died there in 1913, probably of cancer.
