History
Kathrina Vipond Roseveau Smith (Rena) was the daughter of Rev. John Vipond Smith. She received her B.A. from Victoria University in 1902 and her M.A. in 1908. From 1902 to 1906 she held a teaching position at Wesleyan High School, Grahamstown, South Africa. She married Rev. Richard Samuel Edgar Large, the brother of Rev. Thomas Alfred Large. Thomas Alfred Large was born in 1859. After his ordination, he became a missionary to Japan. He was murdered there in 1890 by burglars when he tried to defend the Toyo Eiwa Gakko girls' school in Tokyo. His wife, the former Eliza Spencer, was also injured in the incident, and she remained in Tokyo with their daughter Kate until 1895.
