Abilene, Kansas, Congregation - Meeting Notes


These are a factor in the si vol 3 chapter I'm writing now. The document comes from the Eisenhower Presidential Library, originally a donation from the Abilene Congregation through a Circuit Servant.  

I am not adding notations or explanations. Make of it what you will and comment.

My transcription, followed by a comment:
1921
Dec 29 Regular annual meeting of ecclesia
Bro Thayer, chairman

On request, the secretary then read from records the names of those who had answered and passed the V.D.M. questions. These were as follows:

Bro. DJ Eisenhower
Sr. DJ Eisenhower
Bro. HN Engle
Sr. Naomi Engle

Next order of business was the election of elders. No further nominations being offered, the following were voted on and unanimously elected.

Bro. JL Thayer
Bro HL South[unclear]
Bro. HN Engle
Bro. JG Denison

[end of document]

This indicates that both Ida, Dwight's mother, AND his father, David Jacob, were active in the local Bible Student ecclesia, and both of them had passed the Verbi Dei Minister questionnaire.
