Scovel, Frederick Gilman

Dr. Frederick Gilman Scovel (1902-) and Myra Scott Scovel (1905-1994) served the United Presbyterian Church as medical missionaries in China from 1930 to 1951 and in India from 1953 to 1959. In China, the Scovels worked at Bachman Hunter Hospital in Tsining, Shandong, China and remained there for fifteen years until they were repatriated in 1943 after a period in a Japanese internment camp. In 1946 the Scovels worked at Hope Hospital, Huai Yuan, Anhwei, China. They were transferred to Hackett Medical Center, Canton, China, in 1948 and remained there for a year and a half after the communists gained control. Early in 1951 they returned to the United States. From 1953 to 1959 the Scovels were associated with the Christian Medical College, Ludhiana, Punjab, India.
