Jefferies, Susan Herring.

Susan Herring Jefferies Taynton (b. 1902), a native of Tai An, China, was the child of David Wells Herring (1858-1940) and Alice Rhea Herring, Baptist missionaries working in the interior of China. David Wells Herring, a controversial figure in missionary circles, resigned from the Baptist Foreign Mission Board in order to perform his duties in the manner he thought most productive. Although he eventually reconciled his differences with the Board, Herring's devotion to duty and his determination to defend his ideas inspired his daughter to write his biography. Susan Herring, who first came to the United States in 1920, published her book "Papa Wore No Halo" in 1963.
