Church of St. Simon the Cyrenian records, 1940-1979.

The records of the Church of St. Simon the Cyrenian span a thirty-year period (1940-1979) but contain significant gaps. There are two general ledgers (1947-1949, 1956-1978) documenting the finances of the church, and vestry records for the 1960s and 70s as well as marriage licenses (index cards). Other records include church programs and announcements for fund raising events to benefit the church, letters, Miller's sermons and eulogies and a few daily diaries noting his appointments and other activities.
