Abstract:

Microfilmed records of the Valton, Wisconsin Meeting of the Society of Friends which was rooted in the Winnesheik Meeting, the Baraboo Meeting, and the Ironton (Friendswoods) Meeting and at one time included the Oaks Meeting. The records include a history of the Meeting and a history of the Valton area written circa 1952 by Gilbert Mortimer; minutes of monthly meetings, 1956-1965; and membership records, circa 1855-1983. The membership records consist of two volumes noting members of Ironton, Oaks, and Valton groups and sometimes including birthdate and place, parents' names, marriage date and place, when and how received into membership, when and how released from membership, and remarks. Also present in paper form is a transcription made from the microfilm by Pam Norvall in 2001 which includes the histories and the membership records.
