Menno S. and Levi R. Yoder Collection
9 Boxes
Introduction
Menno and Levi were brothers from the Shipshewana/Middlebury, Indiana
area. Most of the material is from Menno who was an inventor/farmer. He
seems to be active in issues during and following the Depression that
concerned money, social security, and Bible doctrines such as use of
time and activities. He was a member of various organizations such as
the Greenback Party and Temperance League. Levi's materials reflect a
concern with education and to some sense a deeper religous involvement.
