Evangeline Booth
General Evangeline Cory Booth, OF, (December 25, 1865 – July 17, 1950) was the 4th General of The Salvation Army from 1934 to 1939. She was its first female General.
==Early life==
She was born in South Hackney, London, England, the seventh of eight children born to William Booth and Catherine Mumford, who had earlier in the year founded The Christian Mission, which became the Salvation Army in 1878. Catherine Booth had recently read ''Uncle Tom's Cabin'' and wanted to name her baby 'Eva', but William Booth did not like the name and wrote 'Evelyne' on the birth certificate. Years later, while in the United States, Evelyne would be persuaded by Frances Willard, founder of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, to adopt the name 'Evangeline' as being more dignified and more befitting the commander of The Salvation Army in America.〔Notable American Women 1607-1950: A Biographical Dictionary, James, James, and Boyer Editors, The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Mass. (1971)〕
At 15 she was a Sergeant selling the Army's paper ''The War Cry'' in the slums of east London.〔 In 1887, at 21 years of age, she became the officer of the corps in Marylebone, where there was very strong opposition to The Salvation Army. Wherever trouble threatened, General Booth’s solution was invariably the same, 'Send Eva!'.〔(Evangeline Booth on SAWiki )〕
