==Notable people== Wilhelmina "Minnie" Vautrin (1886β1941) born September 27, 1886, in Secor, IL. Minnie, an American Missionary to China and known as the "Goddess of Mercy", was founder of Ginling Girls College in Nanjing China. During WW II the city of Nanjing was invaded by Japanese Imperial troops in December 1937. The invasion aftermath is known as the Nanjing Massacre. She is highly honored in China for establishing a sanctuary on the grounds of the Ginling college in order to protect Chinese non-combatants from 6 weeks of killing, looting and raping. Minnie was posthumously awarded the Emblem of the Blue Jade by the Chinese government for her actions during the massacre. She is buried in Salt River Cemetery nearby to Shepherd MI.
