Lois F. Selfridge (1834-1924) was born in Tecumseh, Michigan, and died in London, England. She was the mother of Harry Gordon Selfridge (1858-1947), the founder of the London-based upscale department store, Selfridges. For many years, she worked as a teacher in the public schools of Jackson, Michigan. Although there is no record of her studying with Mary Baker Eddy or uniting with the Church of Christ (Scientist), letters indicate that she was sharing Christian Science and teaching it to others.
