Fonds consists of 25 diaries recorded by Anna dated from 1929 to 1953. The originals were scanned and then returned to the family. In this fonds are colour prints of the diaries. Personal records also include newspaper clippings, poems and some photos. The diaries, mostly in English with some German, are usually written in 7 by 9 inch scribblers. The first was written in a proper diary given as a gift to Anna by her son, Cornelius. Later entries were hastily recorded on whatever was available, with a few by her daughter, Evelyn. Anna writes about day-to-day activities which centered around their growing family, Abraham’s work and hobbies, their church activities, health issues and the influence of world events on their daily life.

Records of the body within the education agency of the (old) Mennonite Church that made decisions regarding the investment of endowment funds.  Previously called the Endowment Committee, this body seems to date back to 1930.  Records from its earliest meetings, however, appear to have been lost.  These records contain primarily minutes (1942, 1945-1964, 1966-1968, 1970) of meetings, but also include correspondence and reports.

This fonds contains a ledger book where Peter A. Toews recorded meetings and other events in the life of the Sommerfeld Mennonite Church from 1929-1961.
