Chinese Shoes

These shoes date from 1875 and were presented to Mrs. Georgianna C. West by Mrs. J. W. Lambuth. Notes kept with the shoes indicate they were used many times between 1875 and 1966 to make a strong appeal to Methodist women concerning church missions work. They were part of the inspiration to organize a woman's missionary society.
