Alice Lossing Estabrook Simpson (1883-1983) was a missionary to West China from 1910 to 1926. She and her husband Dr. (and Rev.) E. Kyle Simpson (1883-1973) served with the Canadian Methodist Mission in Chengdu (Chengtu), Luzhou (Luchow), Pengxian (Penghsien), Rongxian (Junghsien), and Fuling (Fowchow), all in Sichuan. Alice went out with the Women’s Missionary Society and then married Kyle in Chengdu in 1916. She studied the Chinese language in Chengdu in 1911 in a class with other new missionaries, becoming proficient in eight months. Among her many accomplishments, she served as an educational missionary, reaching the position of principal of the Union Normal School for Young Women in Chengdu. When Kyle first arrived, he stayed in Luzhou, Sichuan, to study the Chinese language. Dr. Simpson was a medical missionary who ran the mission dispensary in Pengxian from 1915 to about 1917 when the family moved to Rongxian, where he ran the mission hospital until their furlough in 1919. During his furlough he received his ordination in Ontario, returning in 1921 to serve as head at the hospital in Fuling, Sichuan. (chinamiddlekingdom.siue, 2026)
