Ellen Gould White (néeHarmon; November 26, 1827 – July 16, 1915) was an American author and co-founder of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Co-founder of the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) Church

Ellen Harmon was born and reared in Gorham, Maine, in a devout Christian home. Her father was an exhorter in the Methodist Church, and her Christian experience was nurtured in Methodist class meetings.

At the age of 81 Mrs. White traveled again to Washington, attending the General Conference session in 1909. At the conference she spoke a number of times in a clear, firm voice. After this meeting, in fulfillment of a long-felt desire in her heart, she visited her old home city of Portland, Maine. There she again bore her testimony in that historic place where he
