- Collection
- 1902-1972
Personal papers documenting the early life and education of an (old) Mennonite pastor's wife. Materials include a diary, correspondence, essays apparently written while studying at the Elkhart Institute and Goshen College, and miscellaneous materials. The essays represent the richest source of information in this collection, as they provide insight into Johns's thoughts on a variety of subjects -- motherhood, marriage, temperance, modest dress, mission and evangelistic work, prayer, suffering, and so forth. Some of the essays are brief fiction pieces, and researchers will also find original poetry among the essays.
Johns, Margaret Rickert, 1884-1978
