Jennie Adams was an American Baptist missionary and one of the Hopevale Martyrs. She was born on June 16, 1896 in Page, Nebraska.[1] She attended the Western Reserve University School of Nursing, Bailey Training School for Nurses, and the Nebraska Wesleyan University. [2]
After graduating she became superintendent of Capiz Emmanuel Hospital on the Island of Panay in 1923. After Japanese troops invaded the Philippines, eleven members of hospital staff, including Adams, chose not to evacuate to maintain critical hospital infrastructure. After worries that Panay would soon be invaded, the remaining staff evacuated to Hopevale to hide. While in hiding Adams wrote poetry about her experience.
(maybe shorten this paragraph to just "passed through many hands", but felt like it gave more context) These would later be collected by fellow missionary Mrs. Frederick Meyer, who copied them word for word as a backup, who gave them to Rebecca Rio, an instructor at Central Philippine University. English language material discovered by Japanese troops was often destroyed, so she hid them by sewing them inside her pillow. After the war ended she gave them to Sofia Abada, an English instructor at Central Philippine University, to bring to the United States.[3] These poems were later compiled and published as The Hills Did Not Imprison Her.
