alt text

Mimi Scharffenberg (November 7, 1883 – before 1926) was an American missionary; she was the first single woman to be a Seventh-Day Adventist missionary to Korea.[1]

Early life

Scharffenberg was born in Missouri into a Lutheran family, although she later moved to Wisconsin.[2] Her sister, Theodora Wangerin, was also a Seventh-Day Adventist missionary.[3]

Missionary activities

Scharffenberg first moved to Soonan to "engage in school work", which officially began in 1907.[2] There, she bought a small home that she later shared with another missionary, May Scott, in September 1908.[3]

In 1909 Scharffenberg moved to Seoul with another missionary family.[3]

In 1915 she was among the delegation sent to the Asiatic Division Conference of Seventh-day Adventists.[4]

Scharffenberg returned to the United States at some point afterwards, and had died by 1926.[5]
