Beatrice Nebraska business records
Collection consists of 3 ledgers. One dates 1891-1898. Another dates 1898-1902. The third dates 1898-1904. The handwriting in the latter two changes in 1901; the books seem to contain the handwriting of only two persons.
The Beatrice history book God's Love in Action (1978) pp. 42 mentions a grocery goods store started by William J. Penner and later sold to John Wiebe. Possibly these have some connection with that business.

These include manuscripts of song lyrics, genealogical information, church letters, copy books, an account book / weather diary, and correspondence. The collection also contains a few items created by Fannie Baumgartner Kauffman and her husband, Henry M. Kauffman, including handwritten prayers, ephemera, and correspondence. Typewritten transcriptions are available for many of the German handwritten documents.

Mennonite Board of Charitable Homes and Missions (Rittman, Ohio) Records
Records of a predecessor organization to the Mennonite Board of Missions, formed in error under the assumption that an organization incorporated in Ohio was required in order to acquire and manage property in Ohio. This organization, therefore should not be understood as a competing organization to the Mennonite Evangelizing and Benevolent Board and its predecessor organizations. Records include incorporation documents and by-laws, legal documents pertaining to the transfer of property, correspondence, and annuity contracts.
