Asa Gilbert Eddy, Christian Scientist
Posted on March 1, 2010
Who was Asa Gilbert Eddy? Mary Baker Glover and Asa Gilbert Eddy were married for only five and one-half years, before his untimely death in 1882. Yet, during that brief period, Asa proved to be a great support to his wife and the Cause of Christian Science she was working to establish.
Some years ago, Longyear Museum prepared an exhibit that sought to answer this question of just who Mr. Eddy was, by examining his life and some of his contributions to the Christian Science movement during the years 1876-1882. The following article, first published in 1988 and re-edited for this format, drew most of its material from that exhibit. By republishing it now, we can again take advantage of its gleanings and get to know more about Asa Gilbert Eddy.

When Longyear Museum undertook to put together the most complete picture possible of the Baker family homestead at Bow, New Hampshire, where Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, spent her early years, it confronted a major challenge: Most of the house had been moved from its original site about 1907 and a few years later was destroyed by fire.
