author
1868–1936
A clergyman and historical writer, he preserved family history and missionary records with a careful, documentary eye. His books open small but vivid windows onto church life, genealogy, and early Protestant work in Siam.

by George Haws Feltus
George Haws Feltus (1868–1936) was an American minister and author whose surviving works show a strong interest in church history, family history, and missionary biography. He is credited as the author of The Feltus Family Book (1917), a privately printed genealogy that combines a biographical sketch of Rev. Henry James Feltus with a record of the wider Feltus family.
He also wrote Samuel Reynolds House of Siam, Pioneer Medical Missionary, 1847–1876, a biographical study of the physician and missionary Samuel Reynolds House. Archival records at Emory University additionally note that Feltus compiled and edited transcriptions of missionary journals connected with Siam, suggesting that he worked not only as a writer but also as a preserver of older religious documents.
Though not widely known today, his books remain useful to readers interested in genealogy, Protestant missions, and 19th-century religious history. His writing seems to have been guided less by literary showmanship than by a wish to gather, organize, and save the stories he believed mattered.
