Membership List 188? Book #2
( This is the only Membership List that appears in
Book 2. There are lots of dates for baptism,
dismission, exclusion, etc. but the exciting thing
about this list for genealogists is that there are
dates of death on many of the names. However, there
isn't an exact date on the list. The minutes in Book
2 begin in 1887 and end in 1905. I think it would be
safe to assume that this membership List is for that
entire period of time, that could be an explaination
for all the notes written beside the names. )
