While photographing the three church record books in Dec of 1959, we came across
several items which had been tucked inside the pages. These were also copied and are
presented herewith.
The ten questions appear to be a list prepared by someone with the intention of
writing a history of the church. I know not whether they were ever answered or
whether such a history was produced. Written on tablet paper and deeply darkened
with age, it is, however, possible that these questions were the genesis of the
32-page 1951 Centennial booklet.
Also found written on tablet paper are two pages which constitute the recording
secretary's notes of a Congregational Meeting held Sunday, 16 Mar 1890. They
are signed "D. W?. Sheetz."
The Order of Conducting Sunday Schools was written by Rev. A. L. Couse,
printed by Henkel & Co. of New Market and priced at one cent a copy. The bottom
line of the cover reads "Office of Our Church Paper and Shenandoah Valley." There
is no copyright and, consequently, no date on this pamphlet.
