Notes
a. Note:   N728 Ada Haven went to China in 1879 to take charge of a school for girls. During the Boxer Uprising, June to August 1900, she and some thirty of her charges were among the foreigners and Christian Chinese who were beseiged in the British Legation at Peking awaiting the arrival of American Troops. In addition to missionary work and teaching, Ada was a fine linguist and a pioneer in the development of a simplified set of Chinese characters, which could be used for mass publication and general education.
