RELIGIOUS SELECTIONS |
by the Rev. Wm. H. Goode, 1864
. Indiana, Arkansas, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado Missionary work among Indian Tribes and Territorial Settlers.Ten years on the western frontier. It's a "good read". Ted & Carole, the greatest friend to western researchers!
Nebraska State Council Proceedings, Knights of Columbus
1905-1926. No surname index is going to be done. Too many "similar names" appear - all names have been double checked against the original.(Cannot say the same for the numbers!)
"l" and "r' seemed to get doubled up every so often. An "a" on the
end of a name on one page was an "e" on another. Same man? Hope you can figure it out in relation to your own family! These are minutes & reports from annual statewide meetings.Lists of state officers, representatives, delegates, etc.
Lists of people who were paid expenses ...
Some statements appear about former members when deceased.
Organization of the Knights of Columbus Order, participation in civilian
projects during WW I, resolutions related to "home rule" in Ireland, NE legislative "school laws", etc.In August we got most of the "religion" books that PR had, in effort
to enlarge that category and have something to represent an assortment of denominations. Think this is the last book in our possession that belongs on the church page.
This book is the details for the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Complete book of minutes (except a partially torn-out page)
Districts: Beatrice, Hastings, Lincoln, Nebraska City and York.This book covers a lot of physical area so it is co-listed on the Gage, Lancaster, Cass, Adams & York pages.
by the Rev. Charles W. Savidge, 1914.
While it is posted among the Methodist Episcopal Church publications, Rev Savidge actually resigned from that organization and started an independent church in Omaha. Also was in midst of plans for "House of Hope" for elderly indigents - at time the book was written.I would love to say I could keep up with these two expert transcribers, but that is impossible. They are a GREAT asset to the genealogical/historical data on line family!
the Farmer Boy Who Became A Bishop
A book about the early Episcopal Church in Nebraska published in 1911, by Anson Rogers Graves.
Born Vermont, raised in Illinois. Returned to Vermont for education, continued schooling in New York. Taught school near Philadelphia and then enrolled at General Theological Seminary, New York City. June, 1872 - assigned to Plattsmouth, NE.Later assigned to Minnesota and New Hampshire parishes, in
1890 he became first bishop of the Platte District, Nebraska Diocese. Lived at Kearney. Also listed under the Cass and Buffalo County pages since it covers both. Ted & Carole have yet another notch on their typewriter keyboard <g>
A book by the Rev. Henry T. Davis, 1890. In it a pioneer preacher recalls the earliest days of Methodist Episcopal Church in Nebraska. Our wonderful transcribers Ted & Carole Miller added also an every name index. Use the Table of Contents to navigate, please.
This book done in 1905 by Motier A. Bullock was transcribed by Ted & Carole Miller, many thanks again to their ceaseless efforts to maintaining free data on line. I can purchase the old items, but without the help to transcribe, it would just sit here :(((
There are Articles (chapters) on early missionaries; women's work, educational facilities, incl. Santee Indian Normal School. I have also listed this book in the Ethnic Section of the NE Memorial Library.
List by church name of those that served as ministers.
List of church officials.
List of discontinued churches.
Alpha list of ministers and their assignments.
List of illustrations and portraits, incl. some really OLD stuff.

1883 Nebraska Conference Minutes, held in Lincoln, NE Added to original - table of contents and every name index. Another great transcription by Ted & Carole Miller, the bestest friends to the Memorial Library
"History
of Nebraska Methodism:
First Half-Century"
Rev. David Marquette, D. D., 1904
Abbreviated biographies for earliest preachers and lay members of the Methodist church. Stories of the difficulties encountered while serving scattered parishes with small congregations during primitive days when some traveled only by "shank's mare". This is a great job done again by Ted & Carole Miller, some of my best and prolific helpers with additions for the library. They also made an all name index on this book.
"a
Frontier Life:
Sketches And Incidents
of Homes in the West"
Written by Rev. Charles Wesley Wells. 1902
New book available as part of "Religion in NE" or "church" page of NEGenWeb, transcribed by Ted and Carole Miller. Autobiography that touches briefly on experiences during the author's youth in Iowa, Illinois & Kansas, 1841-1861. Thereafter, most of his life spent in Nebraska - with short excursions to Julesburg, CO and into South Dakota. He became a Methodist minister after death of first wife. Served all over NE - majority of the time on "circuits" where there were no churches. Meetings were held in dugouts, cabins ... eventually in school buildings. Warning! - You may find some of his opinions objectionable! This is a light read in the sense that while the book is not large, the print was! There are portions dealing with some famous frontier incidents - particularly Indian scares & fights. An every name index has been added, but does not include the "Mr. G..." or "Mrs. B..." or any others mentioned by initials only.

hISTORICAL SKETCH OF BROWNELL HALL
Many of the records have been lost, but by dint of much letter-writing and careful comparison of court house records, old newspapers, old catalogues and the secretary's book belonging to "The Board of Trustees," we have gathered the important facts contained in this book.
Much of the life and the incidents narrated are personal recollections of the writer.
The work was undertaken at the request of The Alumnae Association, but so great has been the enjoyment of the task that the duty has become a privilege and the sketch is offered as a tribute of loving gratitude and loyal devotion.
A neat little read of religious education at the time frame past done by Ted & Carole Miller.
