James Curtis Hepburn


 

James Curtis Hepburn (13 March 1815 - 11 June 1911) was born in Milton, Pennsylvania. He attended Princeton and Pennsylvania universities and became a doctor. He decided to go to China as a medical missionary but had to stay in Singapore for a year as the Chinese ports were closed to foreigners. After five years as a missionary he returned to the United States (in 1845) and opened a medical practice in New York City.
