This collection contains three kinds of records: a parish register, miscellaneous reports and letters, and service record books. The parish register contains a history of the local church, and a record of families, baptisms, confirmations, marriages, burials, and offerings. Both this register and the reports and letters concern St. Luke's Mission, Neillsville, Wisconsin, 1877-1930. They are fragmentary and spotty because St. Luke's repeatedly closed and reopened. (See the history for additional details.) The service record books, 1919-1949, indicate what type of liturgy was held, who the minister was, statistics on the number in attendance, number of communicants, sermon topics, offerings received, etc. The churches concerned are listed in the contents list below. The parish register is also available on microfilm produced by the Genealogical Society of Utah which holds the master negative (GSU #1314835).
