Jacob H. Richert Papers

  • US BCMLA 00/MS.197
  • Collection
  • 1772-1900

It's not clear that all the items in here come from Jacob H. Richert. It also could be that more than one Jacob Richert or J. H. Richert is represented by the materials.

Neuer und Alter Kunst- und Jugend-Kalender Auf das 1770ste Jahr Christi... (Dantzig: E. Gewerk, Thom. Joh. Schreiber, [1770]); handwritten notes in it that look like a preaching schedule for the Danzig Mennonite congregation (does this belong to the Richert papers or is it just mixed in by accident?) (should this be cataloged in OCLC sometime?)

school papers (penmanship and grammar exercises, German and English, one dated 1882)

financial record book ca. 1900

a folder from Roland Ensz - printed matter, several items are First Mennonite Church, Newton

Wiens family fonds

  • CA MHC PP
  • Fonds
  • 1787-2000; predominate 1787-1963

This fonds consists of two bound books and the loose papers that were found in one them, copies of the books, their translations, and copies of letters written by Jacob Wiens (1816-1888) that were published in the Mennonitische Rundschau .

The first book, the Wiens Family Diary, contains mathematical instructional material, fraktur art, a travel diary, recipes, poetry, and a record of events that took place in Prussia, Russia, and Canada. The second book, the Jacob Wiens Family Record, contains Wiens genealogical information and financial records.

This material is unique in that it spans a large time frame, following a family through three countries and contains entries by multiple members of the Wiens family. It shows a love for artistic expression. It shows complex mathematical problems and solutions as by a teacher. The material shows the writer's love for poetry, music, and the kind of medical practices in use by Mennonite people in Russia in the mid to late 1800s. A travel diary documents the trip from Russia to Canada in 1876. The materials give the reader a unique window into the life of a Mennonite community in Prussia, Russia, and Canada.

Location: Volumes 2252-2253, 4580, microfilm #785.
