Henrietta E. Graybill (b. Gardner) (c.1867-1936) was born in Iowa and died in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She married Clarence F. Graybill, a livestock dealer, in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1885 and had three children. She then married George D. Bow in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1914. Graybill became interested in Christian Science in 1889 after attending lectures by Emma D. Behan in Kansas City, Missouri. That same year, Graybill wrote to Mary Baker Eddy requesting admission to a Primary Class at a reduced rate, noting the recent birth of her daughter, Hortense Eddy Graybill. There is no evidence that she attended this class. She became a member of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, on March 31, 1894. In June 1900 Graybill took the Normal class taught by Edward A. Kimball in the Board of Education of The First Church of Christ, Scientist.
Graybill was listed in the directory of The Christian Science Journal as a Christian Science practitioner and teacher in Kansas in 1896 then following her move to Milwaukee around 1910, spent over twenty years teaching and practicing Christian Science from her office on Wisconsin Avenue. Graybill is credited with establishing the first Christian Science church in Atchison, Kansas, and was also active in the public sphere, introducing speakers at Christian Science lectures and corresponding with local newspapers like the Atchison Globe. At the time of her passing, she was a member of Fourth Church of Christ, Scientist, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
