Jennie Evans Moore Seymour
Jennie Evans Moore Seymour (March 10, 1874-July 2, 1936), was an African-American Holiness leader in the Azusa Street Revival.[1] She was one of the first seven persons to experience the phenomenon of speaking in tongues after meeting in a house where they prayed together on Bonnie Brae Street.[2] She was married to William J. Seymour on May 13, 1908.[3] After the height of the Azusa Street Revival waned, she co-pastored the church with her husband. After suffering from two heart attacks, her husband William J. Seymour died in her arms on September 28, 1922.[4] Jennie Seymour died almost 14 years later on July 2, 1936, and was buried next to her husband in Evergreen Cemetery, Los Angeles, California.[5]
