About the author

Wilbur Brenner Stover was born in 1866 and is recorded by library and catalog sources as a Church of the Brethren missionary and author. His books include India a Problem (1902), Missions and the Church (1914), and The Great First-Work of the Church, Missions (1922).

Catalog and bibliographic records connect him closely with mission work in India, and a later biographical record describes him as a pioneer missionary. Taken together, those sources suggest that both his writing and his public reputation grew out of long firsthand experience in western India.

Because reliable portrait images were not clearly available from the sources I could confirm here, no profile image is included.
