EVANGELICAL WOMEN IN THE SECOND HALF OF 1800; MARY LEE WASSON CAGLE P/53

                                                                                                                                                                           


In this story I will focus on a woman named Mary Lee Wasson Cagle. She lived from 1864 - 1955. Her parents were John and Nancy Wasson. She was born near Moulton, Lawrence County. Her family was Methodist. As a child, Mary desired to become a missionary but her mother discouraged it.

In 1891, she married Robert Lee Harris, a Texas revivalist. He was a preacher in the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Mary travelled with her husband to the major southern cities and learned the art of being an evangelist from him.

Mary's husband left the Methodist church and in Milan, Tennessee, launched a new holiness denomination known as the New Testament Church of Christ. He died a few months later.
