Anna Weed Prosser (October 15, 1846 – December 20, 1902) was an American evangelist.[1] An invalid for many years, she believed her recovery due to prayer, and immediately entered upon her evangelical work in gratitude for her restored health. She worked for some time under the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (W.C.T.U.), ultimately establishing a mission of her own, known as the Old Canal Street Mission, in Buffalo, New York of which she took charge and was assisted in this work by reformed men whom she had saved from lives of destitution. After ten years spent in ministry among the poor and unfortunate, she entered the general evangelical work and became president of the Buffalo Branch of the National Christian Alliance.[2]
