Collection Overview
Scope and Contents
The collection consists of eight volumes of record books, 1858-1986, which contain information on baptisms, marriages, funerals, confirmations, and those taking communion. Additional lists of baptisms, marriages and confirmations dating from 1882-1886 follow the record books. Also included with the collection are two volumes of what appears to be Trustees minutes books dating from 1891-1911; a school attendance register, dating from 1881-1891; and, two printed histories of the church, one written in 1907 and the other in 1932.
A large part of this collection consists of the minutes, membership and financial records of several church women's organizations. Included are the records of the Ladies Aid Society, 1895-1949; the Young Ladies Bible Class, 1910-1926; the Daughters of the Reformation, 1940-1943; and, the Mary-Martha Society, 1926, 1942-1961.
An additional volume and probably the first record book was transferred at a later date from the Lucas County-Toledo Public Library to be added to the microfilm edition of this church collection. The volume dates from 1850-1858 and also includes information from 1884-1886, and includes records of baptisms, marriages and funerals. This record book is located at the beginning of roll number five.
