Miss Emily S. Hartwell was the daughter of Lucy E. Stearns and Charles Hartwell (), who were the pioneering Congregational missionaries stationed in Foochow. She graduated from Wheaton College in 1883 and taught there before her mother died in Foochow and she returned as a missionary. She started a girls' school at Ponasang () and for 20 years she taught English at Foochow College (). When Foochow was inundated by a flood in 1900 Miss Hartwell organized relief work. She also founded an orphanage named the Christian Herald Fukien Industrial Homes () at Ado (). After the fall of the Qing Dynasty in 1911 she raised funds to aid the stranded and starving Manchus in Foochow. Other charitable institutions established by her included the Union Kindergarten Training School, the Christian Women's Industrial Institute, and the Dr. Cordelia A. Green Memorial Home. Miss Hartwell received the Order of Golden Grain from the president of the Fukian Provincial Government. She was evacuated from Foochow in 1937 during the Sino-Japanese War, and died in Oberlin, Ohio in 1951. References
