Hofei

"In the fall of 1939 Miss Wilkinson returned to do mission work in Occupied China. She gave a year’s service to Nantungchow. In the fall of 1940 she returned to Hofei and had the experience of sharing for a brief period with folk who, in her own familiar setting, had undergone the experience of life under Japanese occupation. After only a short time in Hofei Miss Wilkinson joined others of the women missionaries of the Disciples of Christ who, in response to the consular request that American women and children leave China, returned home in January of 1941."
