Celia Wentworth
Alna C. ("Celia") Wentworth (1848-1871) was born in Stoughton,
Massachusetts, and died in Quincy, Massachusetts. Mary Baker Eddy met Wentworth through
her first student, Hiram S. Crafts, when Celia's mother, Sally Wentworth, took Celia to
Crafts for treatment. When Eddy left Amesbury, Massachusetts, she went to live with the
Wentworths in Stoughton from 1868-1870. While living with the Wentworths, Eddy spent
much of her time studying and writing, and it was here where she completed her first
work on Christian Science, a teaching manuscript titled The Science of
Man, which would find its way into the third and subsequent editions of Science and Health as the chapter "Recapitulation."
