Reverend Willard M. White scrapbooks, 1919-1988.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/488716750

The Reverend Willard M. White scrapbooks collection includes ten hand-made scrapbooks that tell the story of the life of a twentieth-century Methodist clergyman. White attended Wesley Theological Seminary and graduated on May 6, 1930. He went on to live and minister throughout Maryland, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. The scrapbooks White kept over the course of his life illustrate the assorted jobs facing a pastor: he was a mentor and schoolteacher to many youths through camps, clubs, and church activities; he was a friend and neighbor to his congregation, who invited him to weddings, funerals, graduations, and birthdays; and he was a scholar and student, keeping detailed records and clippings of hymns, prayers, and recitations to be used in new church events and youth activities.
