Personal papers of an (old) Mennonite Church pastor and bishop, including correspondence, sermon notes and outlines, reminiscences, pastoral letters, and notebooks. Of particular note are Shank's journal entitled "Our Gospel Tour," which describes a preaching junket he undertook with other Mennonite men in a borrowed car in 1925-1926. Also of interest is Shank's unpublished book manuscript entitled, "Vital Issues of Our Times," Researchers should also note that membership and other records of the Carver Mennonite Church (Carver, Mo.) can be found in this collection.
Shank, J. R., 1877-1958
