This collection of records is contained in six boxes (A through F). The first three boxes (A, B, C) relate to the Congregational Church followed by three boxes (D, E, F) with materials from St. Paul's Reformed and St. Paul's United Church of Christ. Fourteen ledger books, five from the Congregational Church and nine from St. Paul's Reformed Church, were microfilmed on three rolls by the Center for Archival Collections at Bowling Green State University, Levis Commons Campus, in Jan., 2014 (see OCLC record #871205827). Three copies of the three rolls were produced, with the sets being distributed among GSU, BGSU CAC, and St. Paul's United Church of Christ. St. Paul's donated its set to the Hayes Presidential Center. The original ledgers that were microfilmed, are contained in Box A, Folders 1-5 (Congregational), and Box D, Folders 1-8 (St. Paul's Reformed & St. Paul's UCC). They contain sacramental records (marriages, baptisms, deaths, and communions) for both churches and the union of the two churches. Additionally, ledgers contain records of church officials, meetings, letters, histories, newspaper clippings, and/or other miscellaneous materials. Some records appear to have been copied from earlier ledgers and their entries are sometimes duplicated in later ledgers. Also contains annual reports, council minutes, contracts, membership registers, confirmands, merger agreements, treasurer reports, records of various organizations within the church, photographs, periodicals, anniversary and program booklets, Christian educational materials, scrapbooks, pamphlets, church bulletins, and newspaper articles relating activities and events.
