| Anecdote |
- Dr. Catherine L. Mabie was born in a Baptist Parsonage in Rock
Island, Illinois, March 24, 1872. Her mother died within a
week and she was cared for in various homes until about four
years old, when she was placed in the home of her father's
sister, Mrs Watson Gleason of Chicago, Illinois, where she
remained until adulthood. She had all of her education in
Chicago, including that for an M.D. in an era when there were
few women physicians.
In 1898 she sailed as a medical missionary to the Belgian Congo
under the American Foreign Missionary Society where she served
until her return to America in 1941. Her first field was at
Mbanza Mantake
On furloughs she traveled extensively in Japan, China, Europe,
and all around Africa, stopping at all ports. During furloughs
she traveled in much of the United States, speaking in the
north, and visiting Negro schools and colleges in the South.
Dr. Mabie was an outstanding educator and served on the faculty
of the Kimpase Training School from 1912 to 1941. Her hygiene
and physiology books continue to be widely used, and she will
long be remembered by many hundreds of mothers who were the
object of her tender ministry as an obstetrician.
She served on an educational commission in the Belgian Congo,
known as the Phelps-Stokes Commission. She was aithor of
numerous books in the Pikongo language and of "Congo Cameos"
which is her autobiography.
