This collection consists of a photographic and textual history of General Conference Mennonite missions in Colombia from 1945 to about 1957. This history was compiled by Stucky and originally was contained in four notebooks labeled “Historia de Cachipay” and numbered 1 through 4.
Also, a later addition of photocopies of diaries 1945-1965.
Box 1 is mostly materials related to his Hopi gospel song compilation. Includes several audio tape reels.
Box 2 has more audio tape reels, more Hopi hymnal related material, photocopy of an autobiography by Mabel Suderman, a few photos, a few of what look like sermon outlines.
Consists entirely of materials related to their trip to the 1957 Mennonite World Conference in Germany. Brochures, programs, souvenirs, scrapbook, etc. It appears that their son Carl also went to the conference.
Consists entirely of photocopies made by or for Adolf J. Krehbiel when he was working on his biography of Jacob S. Krehbiel (his father?). It looks like most or all of the copies came from the General Conference Board of Missions files here. A few items have been translated into English, probably by Hilda Ediger Voth, who worked at the MLA at the time.
There is also a copy of The J. S. Krehbiel Story (1982).
The papers were processed by Eleonore Aarsen in the Spring of 1998. Much of the content was in no discernible order, so I rearranged those items. This includes mostly the church records and sermons. They are now organized by church employment eras (time periods spent pastoring a certain church), meaning that all items from any given church are together. The whole collection is divided mainly into personal and professional. That is why pastoral correspondence and personal correspondence are in their respective categories and not together. Anything that was in folders, envelopes and bundles upon arrival has been kept together. The result is that some things seem out of place. This is especially true in the genealogy collection. Many sermons were used several times. As a general MLA rule, miscellaneous materials are filed according to last place used (or most recent date). This means that many sermons written in the 1940s are actually filed in the Emmanuel Mennonite Church era. Items without numbers are not in folders, but filed loosely in the order as listed.
Johann Lehmann diaries 1864-1879. Anna Lehman diaries 1945-1949. Anna Lehman correspondence, a few financial papers, "Familien-Chronik" (probably removed from a Bible)
Collection is made up of his handwritten German translation of C. Henry Smith, which resulted in the book Die Geschichte der Mennoniten Europas (Newton, KS: Faith and Life Press, 1964).
The collection includes Elbing-Ellerwald church record books kept by Andreas as elder, and a large collection of sermons. The authorship of most of the sermons is not indicated, but it seems likely that most of them were written by Andreas except where otherwise indicated.
