Birth of Jonathan Goforth Nance to Elizabeth and Ancil Nance, an American missionary couple who chose not to be repatriated:
On August 3, 1942, we welcomed Jonathan Goforth Nance. He was 14 months younger than his brother, Ancil. Jonathan was a happy little boy, named after Rev. Jonathan Goforth, whose story Ancil and I had read on the way across the ocean to China. Dr. Loan used to call our Jonathan the “family ambassador,” because he was so friendly.
Jonathan was born in the “hospital” at Camp Stanley. At that time, if you had an escort, you could leave your building and go down the short road to the hospital building after dark. When I realized the birth was imminent, and I was wise enough this time to know it was probably going to be faster than the last one, I made it down with the approved escort of Chinese employees, to the hospital. We were fortunate because it was a very quick birth.
Jonathan Nance died in a canoeing accident in 1961.
