This set of collected family documents contains correspondence, financial records, broadsides, property records, tax receipts, sermons, and assorted ephemera pertaining to the Nold and Yoder families of Columbia, Ohio, later of Columbiana and Leetonia, Ohio. Materials document the following individuals, all of whom held ministerial positions in area Mennonite congregations:
Bishop Jacob Nold (1765-1834)
Deacon Jacob Nold (1798-1864)
Deacon John Ziegler Nold (1823-1913)
Deacon John L. Yoder, son-in-law of John Ziegler Nold (1855 - 1940)
Bishop Paul L. Yoder (1897-1990)
The bulk of the correspondence comprises incoming correspondence to Jacob Nold (1898-1964) and Paul L. Yoder.
Of particular significance in this collection is the copy of a petition drafted by J. M. Brenneman to be sent to President Abraham Lincoln in 1862 that pleads for Mennonite exemption from military service in the American Civil War.
