John Allen Burden (1862-1942) was a Seventh-day Adventist minister, administrator, and medical missionary instrumental in founding sanitariums, restaurants, and health food factories. At the age of 9, John attended Adventist meetings for the first time and was introduced to the writings of Ellen G. White, which left a life-long impression upon him. Five years later he was baptized, and at the age of 18 (1880) moved with his family to Oregon. Wikipedia
