Are you familiar with Fleming? I'd love to get more info on his life. Yes, I was fascinated by these things during my research. Are you familiar with Fleming? I’d love to get more info on his life.

He was uneducated and the CIM tested his calling by asking him to find his own way to China. He had a difficult relationship with Frank Burden, an Englishman also recruited in Adelaide.

I would love to visit there some day. It's appropriate that he is buried in a garden. Truly the blood of the martyrs is bearing a great crop in China in our day! Thank you so much for sharing that!

I just assumed he was British since he served with the China Inland Mission. His grave still exists. I actually saw it while touring in Panghai, a small village in Guizhou Province. There is a Chinese man buried next to him (probably the man he tried to save) as well as another, named Charles Chenery (not sure if his surname is spelled correctly...the headstone was hard to read). You'd never know the graved existed except that I heard by word of mouth. They are actually located behind an old woman's house. The graves are covered by pumpkin plants and weeds. It was a strong reminder of those who came to an isolated land to lay a foundation for Father. It was interesting to find out that William Fleming was Australian.
