Mrs. Livingstone, I Presume?

the Livingstones

Behind every great man, etc., etc. This is the story of Mary Livingstone (née Moffat; 1821-1862), wife of the famed Scottish medical missionary and explorer Dr. David Livingstone. Mary married him when she was 24 and had six children, one of whom died in infancy. She accompanied her husband on some of his expeditions, crossing the Kalahari Desert twice and enduring all kinds of hardships. On one such foray, she suffered a stroke. Mary died in Africa, of malaria. By all accounts, she and her husband were extremely close and shared goals, adventures, and convictions. Yet, while he lies in Westminster Abbey, Mary is in a simple grave in Chupanga, Mozambique, that is not quite so easy to find: http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-33639154
