Teacher: Christian Science Healing
Mr. and Mrs. Eddy. 1877
Mary Baker Eddy, ca. 1876
With Science and Health nearing publication, Mrs. Glover resumed teaching in the parlor of the home she had purchased on Broad Street, Lynn, Massachusetts. Students now included people who would become stalwart workers in the Christian Science movement, such as Julia Bartlett, Calvin Frye, and in 1876, Asa Gilbert Eddy.
Asa Gilbert Eddy, ca. 1860s
Gilbert Eddy (as he was known to his friends) opened an office for the practice of Christian Science healing, and became the first to advertise as a Christian Scientist. In January 1877, with her marriage to Gilbert in the parlor of the Broad Street home, the author of Science and Health became Mary Baker Eddy.
A gentle, likable man, her husband was a strong support to her. He researched copyright law to protect her writings and became her publisher for the next editions of Science and Health. Shortly after the Eddys moved to Boston in 1882, Gilbert passed away, leaving her to carry on, once again alone.
