The papers include significant amounts of correspondence and family photos, school materials, and–more unusual–several folders of recipes. A wide variety of other documents is included. Many of the materials relate to extended family members—parents, grandparents, siblings, children, grandchildren—which accounts for the wide date range of 1874-1968. A note of clarification: some of the “David Thiesen” items come from a David Thiesen (1868-1929) who was an uncle of David H. Thiesen. The older David Thiesen never married.

Most of the papers document his conscientious objector status at Camp Funston during World War I.

Also included is an 1874 Russian passport of his grandfather Daniel Krehbiel, and his own passport from a 1968 service trip to Paraguay.

Correspondence and research files of Esko Loewen about his work on the Deknatel organ at Kauffman Museum, North Newton, Kansas.

Also correspondence, research files, and slides of Robert Kreider relating to the organ.

Diary, church financial records, genealogical records, handwritten confession of faith, citizenship papers, land deeds, sermons.
