Anna Hinderer's book's frontispiece

The missionary Anna Hinderer died in Martham in Norfolk in 1870 where her husband was acting as curate. Her biography was pulled together by two Hone sisters and Richard wrote the introduction to Seventeen Years in the Yoruba Country[8] Anna's husband was shown as joint author although the Hones were mentioned on the frontispiece. The book raised £31 and this was sent to Daniel and Sussanah Olubi who had taken over the Hinderer mission in Ibadan.[9]

Richard Hone died[10] in 1881.[11]
