 Introduction

The records from The Edison Memorial Methodist Church were transferred from Milan, Ohio, for purposes of microfilming, on January 8, 1986, with the cooperation of Luella Simon and the Milan Public Library. The collection dates from 1838 to 1985 and includes membership books, quarterly conference reports, building committee minutes, Young People's Class minutes, Sabbath School treasurer's records, abstracts of title, and historical pamphlets and programs.

No restrictions exist on the research use of this collection. The collection was prepared for microfilming by Ann Bowers in January 1986.
