Anna Stuhr and Daisy Fee

In the autumn of 1922 Henriette Schildt and Anna Stuhr went to Germany from the USA.

Anna later pioneered Switzerland.

From the early 1900’s to sometime in the 1940's and into the 1950s in some areas,
professing women were expected to wear black stockings.

This peculiarity resulted in their church being nicknamed
"The Black Socks" and "The Black Stocking Church."
