                                                                 Read Part One HERE

In this post I will share the story of a woman named Emma Blanche Adams Stamp. She lived from 1863 - 1945. Emma was born in Pennsylvania, USA. Her parents were Matthew and Emma Adams. She married Christopher Stamp in 1882. After their marriage they entered ministry in the Free Methodist Church together.

From 1894 - 1898 Blanche is listed as a conference evangelist for the Pittsburg Conference. While her license was from the Pittsburg Conference she resided in Chicago when she was not on the road holding revival services with her husband.

In 1898, apart from working as an evangelist in the Colorado Conference, she is also appointed to the Husted Circuit. This was not a tiny town appointment; the Colorado Conference had given an important regional railway town to a female evangelist.

In 1899 she is again listed in the Pittsburg Conference and living in Chicago. Emma and her husband are very likely travelling and preaching. Then in 1900 she is listed by the conference as the appointed pastor at Latrob, Pennsylvania, a vibrant railroad town.
