Young People's Missionary Society scrapbook, 1902-1930

 Series — Box: 5, Folder: 25
Collection number: MSS 016.021

Scope and Contents

The scrapbook contains attendance records, meetings minutes, program notes clippings, and devotionals. A letter with its envelope (from a John Moss to Julia and Sarah Moss) placed within the scrapbook has been separated. This John Moss is apparently a nephew to Julia; further research is necessary to clarify his connection, as the John Moss who fathered Julia and Rufus (Sarah's father) is not this John Moss's father.
