Personal papers of a Mennonite Church pastor and administrator in the Indiana- Michigan Conference.  The papers are divided up into the following series:

Sixteen notebooks of sermons, handwritten in German and preached by Peter Friesen in Marienthal (Ukraine?) and later in the United States, where Friesen served as a minister in  Wall's Church (Gospel Mennonite Church) in Mountain Lake, Minn.  Peter Friesen was the grandfather of (old) Mennonite Church missionary to India  P. A.  (Peter Abraham) Friesen.

The notebooks are handwritten in German, and most contain a record of where and when the sermon was preached.

A seventeenth notebook, containing what look to be sermon or research notes, may also be found in this collection.

Sermons and sermon outlines written by a clergy man of the (old) Mennonite Church who served the church as a missionary in Argentina and as pastor / bishop in Florida and Puerto Rico. This collection also includes a brief biography of S. F. (Samuel Frederick) Coffman written by Brenneman.

A collection of Hutterite sermons and introductory sermons (Vorreden) originating in the 18th and 19th centuries and copied from the 1890s to the 1980s, donated by Paul S. Gross and the Spokane Hutterite colony.  The copies remain in their original German form.  Of particular note is the work of Elias Walter from Standoff Colony, Alberta, whose copies (1898-1917) comprise the second half of this collection.  The collection also includes various Hutterite-related writings and pamphlets, including works by Paul S. Gross and Robert Friedman.
