Biography
Caroline (White) Soule is Notable.
Caroline (White) Soule was born in New York.
Caroline was a Unitarian Universalist Missionary
Caroline (White) Soule was an Iowan.
Caroline (White) Soule was born in Scotland.
Caroline Augusta Soule was an American novelist, poet, and religious writer. In 1869, she helped to found the Woman's Centenary Aid Association. She was the first woman to be ordained as a minister in the United Kingdom in 1880 and was the first Universalist Church of America missionary who went to Scotland in 1878. In 1879 she started St. Paul's Universalist Church in Glasgow, Scotland. She also participated in the Temperance Movement.
She was born Caroline Augusta White; daughter of Nathaniel White and Elizabeth Merselis. She was their third child born of six children. Her mother, at first a member of the Dutch Reformed Church, was a descendant of one of the first settlers in Albany. Her father, a Universalist, was a mechanic from Hartford, Connecticut.[1]
In 1854, two years after the death of her husband from smallpox, she was struggling financially and decided to move her family of five children to a log cabin in Boonsboro, Iowa. It was there where she wrote two novels, The Pet of the Settlement, 1860, based on her life on the prairies, and Wine or Water: a Tale of New England, 1862, a temperance story.
