Abstract:

Records of the Friedens United Church of Christ, organized in Milwaukee, Wis. in 1869 as the Friedens Evangelical Church, a congregation of German Americans. The collection consists mainly of financial records which also include information about membership and clues about church activities. There is also a volume of baptism, confirmation, marriage, death, communion, and special offering records for the years 1914-1928. A scrapbook in the collection includes a 60th anniversary brochure with brief historical notes, and also includes clippings, orders of worship, and other memorabilia. Two photographs in the collection include an image of what is presumably the first church built in 1869 and an unidentified group of men in front of it. The earliest records are in German.

Language: English, German
