Emma Oyer’s collection contains many of her writings, including essays, poetry, and her diaries.  Her work as a Home Missionary is well documented in her diaries, which provide brief summaries of her daily activities. While these diaries do not document her entire life, her earliest years are represented at the Mennonite Home Mission, as well as her latter years as an author and essayist.  Her essays and poetry provide insights into her theology and faith. Also included is a 1951 edition of Missionary Sewing Circle Monthly dedicated to Emma Oyer, with eight tributes to her by Mennonite women.

Personal papers of an Ohio Mennonite mother and author, best known for her poetry.  Materials consist primarily of handwritten, typed, and published poems, prose, and plays.  It appears that some of the published poems may predate 1956, but there is no direct evidence within the collection to support this supposition. Volunteers at  Millersburg Mennonite Church transcibed Gooding's poetry into MSWord.  These files are availble on CDs housed with the collection.

Researchers will also find biographical information and photographs and Gooding's correspondence with Ruth Erb.
