Lorie Gooding Papers

  • US MCUSAA HM1/729
  • Collection
  • 1956-1989

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.
