Biographical / Historical

Buzzell first sailed in 1892 for Japan and served for more than 25 years as a teacher and principal at the Sendai Girls’ School. She also conducted a young men’s bible class, some of whose members became pastors, doctors or teachers. After furlough in 1920, she moved to Tono and under her supervision a Christian center was built and a kindergarten opened. She retired in 1934 and returned to Sendai in 1935 to live in a cottage built by her Japanese friends.
