Mary Slessor was a Christian missionary in Nigeria. She started life, at 11, as a 'half timer' - school for six hours/ working for six hours for the Baxter Brother's Mill with her mother and father to become the 'white queen of Okoyong' in Nigeria. When she died in 1915 she was given a state funeral in Nigeria in recognition of her life time given to helping others.
She is an inspiration for any girl, or boy, who is thinking becoming a missionary.
We celebrated the centenary of her death two years ago and there is a lot of material to find on the internet about her.
