      I am not sure. It's possible.
Lilias was a missionary in Algeria in the late 1800's to the early 1900's. She remained single. 
Is there more information on A. M. Trotter some where?

  • “I was poor in the midst of riches, and ready to perish with hunger near a table plentifully spread and a continual feast. Oh, Beauty, ancient and new! Why have I known thee so late? Alas, I sought thee where thou wast not, and did not seek thee where thou wast…” – Madame Guyon
