Sarah J. Rhea

Sarah J. Rhea is known as the author of Life of Henry Martyn, Missionary to India and Persia, 1781 to 1812, a short biographical work published in Chicago in 1888 by the Woman's Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions of the Northwest.

Reliable biographical details about her own life are scarce in the sources I could confirm. Because of that, it is safer to describe her as a nineteenth-century religious writer whose surviving reputation rests mainly on this book.

Her book focuses on the Anglican missionary Henry Martyn and was issued as part of the Missionary Annals series, suggesting that her writing was meant to inform and inspire readers interested in Protestant missionary work.
