Title: Staff Correspondence - 1953
Series: 4/1
Boxes: 5
History: By the mid - 1940s there were numerous competing boards and committees reporting to Annual Conference. In 1946 Annual Conference established one unified board (known as the General Brotherhood Board) in order to achieve Aunity, efficiency, and economy. Under this arrangement there were five commissions. Sometime after the creation of the General Brotherhood Board (about 1948), the staff began a central filing system (sometimes called general filing@ and sometimes called correspondence filing@). It appears that a copy of each letter written by a staff member was placed in this system. .
Description of the Records: The files contain correspondence written by the General Brotherhood Board staff from all five commissions in 1953. Staff included: Edwin Grossnickle, Olivia O. Ikenberry, Joanne Nesler, Norman J. Baugher, Grace Hollinger, H. Spenser Minnich, Harl L. Russell, J. Henry Long, Kenneth I. Morse, Elizabeth Weigle, Robert Greiner, Lena Belle Olwin Mullen, C.
