Maria Beulah Woodworth-Etter (1844–1924). Born on July 22, 1844, in New Lisbon, Ohio, to Samuel and Matilda Underwood, Maria Woodworth-Etter was a pioneering Pentecostal evangelist known as the “grandmother of the Pentecostal movement.” One of eight children in a poor family, she received little education after her father’s death in 1857, working to support her siblings. Converted at 13 in 1857 at a Disciples of Christ revival, she felt called to preach but faced gender barriers. In 1863, she married Philo Harris Woodworth, a farmer, and had six children, five dying young. After a vision in 1879, she began preaching at 35, holding revivals across Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, marked by reported healings and trances, earning her the nickname “trance evangelist.” Divorced from Philo in 1891 for infidelity, she married Samuel Etter in 1902. From 1885, her tent meetings drew thousands, with signs like falling under the Spirit’s power, notably at the 1890 St. Louis revival. Joining the Pentecostal movement in 1912, she founded the Woodworth-Etter Tabernacle in Indianapolis in 1918. She authored eight books, including Signs and Wonders (1916) and Marvels and Miracles (1922), documenting her ministry. Etter died on September 16, 1924, in Indianapolis, saying, “God’s power is for today, healing and saving all who believe.”
