Many of the photographs housed in the Gordon C. Eby fonds are described here. This includes his wartime album (First World War) and numerous photographs of family, friends, market gardening, and town life in Berlin/Kitchener.
The collection consists of 1) a booklet of funeral dates, names, ages of the deceased, and sermon texts. A second section lists weddings performed. Daniel's son, Ira S. Johns (d. 1956), used the same book to list funerals and weddings he participated in from 1945 to 1955. 2) An Anniversary Sermon, given by D. J. Johns at Clinton Frame Mennonite Church on the occasion of his 90th birthday, September 8, 1940.
