Rev. John Geddie, D. D.

On the Island of Aneityum, in the South Seas, John Geddie, sent from the Presbyterian Church in Nova Scotia (coming in 1848), and John Inglis from The Reformed Presbyterian Church in Scotland (coming in 1852), saw amazing success. By 1854 about 3,500 natives [more than half the population] "threw away their idols, renounced their heathen customs and avowed themselves to be worshippers of the true Jehovah." When Geddie died in 1872, all the population of Aneityum professed to be Christian. It was said of John Geddie: "When he landed in 1848, there were no Christians here; when he left in 1872 there were no heathen."

Born in Banff, Scotland in 1815. Brought to Pictou, Nova Scotia, by his parents in 1816. Ordained and settled on Prince Edward Island in 1838. Sent as the pioneer Presbyterian missionary from Canada, to the New Hebrides in 1846. Died in Australia in 1872.

MILLBANK, the house where my Grandparents lived (and where my uncle Hamish Geddie then lived) is on the far right. The long lower building beside it is in the grounds and was always known as the Barn. (We played in there on many a rainy day!)
