E. Rose Cochrane (b. Andrews) (1870-1917) was born in Saratoga, New York,
and died in Edinburgh, Scotland. She was the daughter of Effie Andrews, a student of
Mary Baker Eddy's who was an Executive Member of The First Church of Christ, Scientist,
in Boston, Massachusetts, and a charter member of Third Church of Christ, Scientist, New
York City. She married Richmond I. Cochrane, a manufacturer, in Saratoga in 1891.
Cochrane joined The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, on
March 31, 1894. In January 1898, the Conchranes started holding church services in their
home in Edinburgh, and that November, Cochrane and her mother were invited to Concord,
New Hampshire, to attend Eddy's last Normal class. In 1899, the Cochranes were among
eight people who organized First Church of Christ, Scientist, Edinburgh, Scotland, and
E. Rose Cochrane served as First Reader. Cochrane was listed in the directory of
The Christian Science Journal as a Christian Science teacher and
practitioner in Edinburgh from 1895 until her passing. She was the first teacher and
practitioner in Scotland and is considered a notable figure in organizing the Christian
Science movement there.
