Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

This collection covers 4 boxes and spans from 1890 to 1989. The majority of the collection is made up of ledgers of meeting minutes, member lists, and finances.

The BYPU ledgers record the history of the Baptist Young People's Union chapter of the church.

The Old Records box series holds the documents that came from a box labeled "Old Records of the Grandview Baptist Church (Grand Avenue Baptist) Davenport, Iowa" and "Hedberg Insurance Agency." The box holds various documents, such as correspondence, statistics, membership lists, and notes. The box's lid has been retained.

The Evens folder holds programs and advertisements for various events, including the Centennial Anniversary of the church.

The General folder holds various items such as the church By-Laws, choir meeting minutes, and handwritten notes, evidentily written by Perry.

The Legal progerty documents folder contains mostly mortgage information and property deeds.

The wood block pictures appear to be for plate printing. Of the oversized photographs, three are long rolls. Two are of the congregation in front of the church around the 1920s. The other is the Baptist General Conference annual meeting in St. Paul in 1944.
