Estates Committee

The files in this series include records of the Kleine Gemeinde Waisenamt, the EMC Hilfsverein, and Estates Committee. The primary purpose of these entities was to fulfill the biblical admonition to care its members especially for orphans and widows (Waisenamt=Orphans Office). Its role expanded over time. It looked afer the administration of the estates of orphans and widows, ensuring inheritance distribution according to accepted rules. The Kleine Gemeinde Waisenamt dissolved sometime in the 1950s. The Hilfsverein begun in 1929 offered loans to those who had no means to begin farming. The Estates committee helped with the inheritance practises and settling of estates. The functions of these various entities were eventually all under the EMC Board of Trustees, except for the ones that were done by organizations not under church control, such as the credit unions, banks and trust companies.
