Born: Eureka, Illinois, December 7, 1859.

The following address was delivered by Sister Haggard in Minneapolis, Minnesota, at the Christian Woman's Board of Missions session of the National Conventions in October, 1901. She prizes the many good things said and written to her concerning this address. But we have not overcome her modesty sufficiently to get any of these commendations.

Sister Haggard is the oldest daughter of Barton W. Johnson. Her mother is a sister of John W. Allen, one of the Chicago pastors. Mrs. T. W. Grafton, of Ann Arbor, is one of her sisters. Dec. 7, 1880, she married Alfred M. Haggard, now dean of the College of the Bible, Drake University, Des Moines, Iowa. For three years she has been president of the Iowa Christian Women's Board of Missions. In 1879 and 1880 she served on the staff of the Christian-Evangelist, first in Oskaloosa, then in Chicago. Readers of the Sunday-school Evangelist at that time will remember her as "Aunt Tottie."

She has been more than an ordinary helper in all the work of her husband, which is sketched in another place. Bro. Haggard delights to tell how her good old grandfather, John Johnson, of Washington, Illinois, once settled a family discussion as to the comparative merits of himself and his wife. Some one wondered if she helped write the sermons. One of her old playmates doubted her ability. But John Johnson came to her rescue as follows: "She is a heap the smartest of the two."

She was born in Eureka, Illinois, December 7, 1859. For several years her home was in Bethany, West Virginia, where her father was one of the Faculty of Bethany College. She attended Oskaloosa College, and would have graduated had not her father's paper gone to Chicago. As a matter of course, she is perfectly at home in the atmosphere of Drake University and is a favorite with the students and Faculty.
