    GORHAM, Elizabeth (c. 1813-after 1873) and Henry M. (?-after 1850)

    In a number of letters written between 1849 and 1851 to friends in New Ipswich, New Hampshire, Ellen White included warm greetings and words of encouragement to “Sister Gorham.” Most likely she was Elizabeth Gorham of Mason, New Hampshire, who lived about five miles [eight kilometers] east of New Ipswich. Little is known about her relation to the church except that “Elizabeth Gorham” and “E. Gorham” are listed in Review subscriber lists throughout the 1850s and as late as 1873. Census evidence suggests that she was divorced from her husband, Henry Gorham, a physician, sometime after 1850.1EGWLM 832.4
