This manuscript is a short memorial biography of Agnes Böhnisch, a Moravian girl born in Greenland in 1752 who was remembered for her cheerful spirit, kindness, deep faith, and love of worship and singing. She was especially beloved among the children and teachers for her gentle nature and devotion to Jesus.
