Wilhelm Friesen fonds

CA MHC PP
Fonds
1897-1925, 2006

This fonds consists of one ledger that records grain and land prices around the turn of the 20th century. There are financial records related to the support for the local school and for fire insurance levies. There is also some prose written by William Friesen. The materials give a sense of the economic conditions and show some of the activities the Mennonite ministers in the Rosenheim area of Manitoba at that time.

Friesen, Wilhelm, 1865-1936
