Overbrook Presbyterian Church (Columbus, Ohio) (Organization)

Scope and Contents

Registry sections are evident in each volume for the documentation of pastors, elders, deacons, trustees, communicants, suspended, inactive or affiliate members, baptisms, marriages, and deaths. The pastoral register from 1915 forward was carried over into each volume and, while each volume has a primary time frame documenting a period of ten or twenty years, entries were accordingly added to bring member information contained in any volume up to date. Communicants were recorded in chronological order. However, an alphabetical index immediately follows the communicant registry in each volume.
