Methodist Missionary Society - Missionary Echo - "The Sunbeam of East Africa" - sailed for East Africa in February 1897 with Miss Brown of Carlisle (later Mrs Ormerod) - Rev. & Mrs Griffiths went to work at Mazeras. "…… From the time of her arrival at her new home at Mazeras, on March 25th 1897, to the hour when she fell asleep in the same home, on July 6th, 1899, Mrs Griffiths took the deepest and most loving interest in the welfare of the people among whom she had come to dwell. The little town of Mazeras had formerly been called Ganjoni, but during the early part of Mrs Griffiths's residence there the name of it was changed to Mazeras, after Mazera, one of our native teachers, who has been long resident there. The British Government has adopted the name Mazeras for the place, and the railway station, which is within a few minutes walk of the mission house, bears that name. …………..

At the close of the month of June God brightened the little home at Mazeras by the presence of a dear baby girl. Fever set in, and 8 days afterwards, on July 6th, 1899, notwithstanding the tenderest care, and the best of medical skill, this faithful and devoted servant of God passed peacefully away into the arms of her Saviour. She had expressed a desire that she might be buried at Mazeras, "Among my own people," as she loved to call them, and there, near the mission house, is her lowly grave.
