Mabel Barnhouse was the older sister of Donald Gray Barnhouse. Sometime between graduating from Biola in 1913 and 1927, she spent eight years in South and Central America. After returned from the mission field she went to Trinity University, Waxahachi, Texas and taught "The History of Missions." In the first Biola Yearbook this statement from her appears:
Although it has seemed good to be back in the homeland, after eight years in South and Central America, the secret hope remains that the way may open for my return to some part of that great field that calls so insistently. I have this year the opportunity of developing and presenting a new subject in Trinity, 'The History of Missions.' and of teaching a personal work class in addition to my regular Spanish teaching.1927 Biolan, 50
