The Ellen G. White Letters and Manuscripts: Volume 1

NARAMORE, John (c. 1820-c. 1897) and Eliza A. C. (1830-1914)

John Naramore, a dentist from Rochester, New York, and his wife, Eliza, were reported in a February 1859 issue of the Review to have “lately embraced the truth.” Ellen White corresponded with “Doctor Naramore” on several occasions and incorporated portions of one of her letters into a general article appearing in the Review. It would appear, however, that the Naramores’ association with Sabbathkeeping Adventists was short-lived. There was a flurry of letters and donations from John Naramore in the Review during 1859, but silence after March 1860. 1EGWLM 871.3
