== Early life ==
John Geddie (1815–1872) was born in Banff, Scotland, April 10, 1815. His father, a watch and clock maker, was a devout member of the Presbyterian Church.〔 In 1816, his family emigrated and settled in Pictou, Nova Scotia, Canada. He began his ministry as pastor at Cavendish, Prince Edward Island. In 1846 he was sent as a missionary to New Hebrides (now Vanuatu), where he served for over twenty years. He married Charlotte McDonald in 1839. They had four children, three daughters and a son.〔http://www.wholesomewords.org/biography/biorpgeddie.html〕
After completing grammar school and later the Pictou Academy, he entered upon the study of theology. When his health failed him and he faced having to give up the ministry, he vowed to commit himself to missionary work if his health recovered. On March 13, 1838, he was ordained as pastor of a congregation on Prince Edward Island.〔
