Biographical History

Hazel Atwood was born circa 1891. She became a Congregational missionary nurse in 1921, serving for the American Board of Commissioners of Foreign Missions. She was a nurse at the Foochow Christian Union Hospital, later the Willis F. Pierce Memorial Hospital, in Foochow, Fukien Province, China. She later became the director of the school of nursing in Foochow. Atwood served until the 1940s. She was on furlough in the United States during anti-Christian uprisings of January 1927 and again circa 1934. She was present for Japan's attacks on Foochow and subsequent invasion, which began in 1938. Her last furlough detailed in this collection, circa 1949, was extended due to the communist threat in China and a general down-turn in missionary activity. A proposed appointment to a hospital in Rhodesia fell through and she retired from the service of the ABCFM in 1950.
