Why This Record Matters

Membership and leadership lists like this can provide more than a name. They may associate a person with a particular city, church-related activity, occupation, social circle, or statewide organization at a specific point in time. Use these entries as clues to newspapers, church records, city directories, local histories, and other records from 1908.
