Snow, Myra

Myra Snow entered Methodist missionary work in the late 1920s and began teaching in Tientsin, in northern China, in the fall of 1928. A native of Los Angeles, Snow taught at Keen School (associated with Gamewell School), an all girls' institution, throughout the 1930s. Along with other American (and British) missionaries, Snow was interned by the Japanese in 1941 as a prisoner of war. She was repatriated to the U.S. in 1943, and the collection offers no clues about her life after World War II.
