The fate of the Br missionaries in Taiyuan is unknown but presumably they took advantage of the Japanese warning and evacuated before 7 am. It transpires that Dr. and Mrs. H, Wyatt and their two children left the Bantist Mission in mid-October, but eight other missionaries were determined to remai at their posts at the time. These were Dr. Nellie Clow and her mother, Mrs, Jessie Clow, Miss B. Gasby, Mr. and Mrs. V. Hayward, Mr. R, Dawson, Mr. F. W. Prince, and Dr. G. Bloom.
The Baptist Mission is in the south part of the city, which the Japanese are not attacking for tactical reasons. A foreigner who left Taiyuanfu on October 10 states the mission is equipped with a dugout but even during air raids Dr. Clow and her mother refuse to take advantage of it, preferring to remain in the mission hospital to comfort patients.
