Reseña del libro "Reminiscences: History of Free Baptist Missions in India (en Inglés)"
Hills, Mrs. Marilla Marks Hutchins, daughter of Daniel and Jerusha (Tyrrell) Turner, was born March 20, 1807, at Arlington, Bennington County, Vt. She studied in the schools of her native place and at the college in Oberlin, Ohio. Converted in 1829, she has heartily given herself to the Lord's work, being especially identified with our foreign missionary interests. She became acquainted with Rev. Amos Sutton in June, 1833, on his first visit. She witnessed the sailing of our first missionaries from Boston in September, 1835. In September, 1829, she married Rev. David Marks. Christmas, 1846, she married Rev. Elias Hutchins, who for seventeen years was corresponding secretary of the Foreign Missionary Society. In October, 1848, she became treasurer of the Female Foreign Mission Society at its organization. She assisted in forming the constitution of the society. After three years the office of treasurer was abandoned, for twenty years she was corresponding secretary of the society, and did much in dispensing information concerning the work in India. But her great achievement for the cause is her publication in 1885 of Missionary "Reminiscences," under the auspices of the Woman's Missionary Society. A portion of that useful book had previously appeared in articles in the Missionary Heiper. In April, 1870, she married a Deacon Hills.
