Content and structure area
Scope and content
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).
