Anna Nyström-Mässrur (9 December 1849-December 1913)
Her health had been weakened during a cholera epidemic in Persia in 1892.
She served in the Caucasus, and in Persia, and in 1894 moved to Xinjiang.
She married Josef Mässrur in Kashgar in May 1895, and they worked together in Yarkand. They left in 1900 for a visit to Sweden, and arrived in there on November 2, 1900. They had many Uyghur friends, and Raquette writes fifteen years later that they were well remembered by many of Uyghurs.
In the autumn of 1901 they left Sweden, and went to Persia, Josef's homeland, where she lived till just before her death—when she went back to Sweden.
