Biografie
Faithe Richardson (1899-?) was a Methodist Episcopal Church missionary to India. She received a B.A. from Nebraska Wesleyan University in 1922 and an M.A. from the University of Colorado in 1923. In 1925, she began missionary work in the central province of India where she was a teacher and the principal at Steven's Girls' School in Jubbulpore, a position she held until 1938. From 1939 to 1940, Richardson was head mistress at the Alderman Girls' School in Jubbulpore. She then returned to Johnson Girls' School where she was head mistress for six years. While she was serving in this position, she was also the principal at the Training Institute for Women at Hawa Bagh (1943-1946).
