Image Gallery: Pleasant View Household

Mrs. Eddy directed those who were interviewing prospects for her household to send her workers “who will stand.”  Scrapbook photos in this gallery recall eight of the steadfast helpers who stayed the course, watching and working.

They include the former machinist who soldiered on as chief assistant and secretary, without a single vacation, for twenty-eight years - the Midwestern housewife whose feet, it was said, scarcely touched the pavement for months at a time while she tended to Mrs. Eddy's needs - and the Kansas farmer who received a call and "left his plow in the field to serve his Leader." 

These and other household workers tell Mrs. Eddy's story in their own words in Longyear's documentary film, "Who Shall be Called?" The Pleasant View Household: Watching and Working.
