William Alderman Linton Family
William Alderman Linton (1891-1960)
moved to Korea in 1912 and dedicated
the rest of his life to serving and
developing Korean society
as a Presbyterian
missionary and
educator.
Family
Even after
Linton’s death in 1960,
his family has continued
to serve Korea and is currently
impacting Korean society
in Christian missions,
medical care, and
public service.
Two of
William Linton’s sons,
Hugh Linton and Thomas Dwight Linton,
served as Christian missionaries
in Korea.
Hugh Linton
planted more than 600 churches
in South Jeolla province,
served in the Korean War,
and during the 1960s established
several tuberculosis clinics.
Dwight Linton
planted churches in the Gwangju area
and later, while living in the US,
served on the board of
Christian Friends of Korea
for over a decade.
Two of
Hugh Linton’s sons
have made significant
contributions to Korea
in medical care.
Dr. John Linton,
Director of Severance Hospital’s
International Care Center located
in Seoul, invented a new type of
ambulance for Korea in 1993.
In 2012,
he was granted
Korean citizenship
in recognition of his contribution
to Korean Society. In 1995,
Dr. Stephen Winn Linton
established the Eugene Bell Foundation,
named for William Linton’s father-in-law
who also served as a missionary in Korea.
This non-profit organization
provides medicine and medical equipment
to North Korea and has provided
treatment to more than
200,000 North Korean
tuberculosis patients.
