American Lutheran Church (1930-1960), Commission on Mexican Missions, Records
Some of the records were labeled in smaller boxes. These are listed as sub-series and are described separately.
American Lutheran Church (1930-1960), Commission on Mexican Missions, Chronological Correspondence
Set I contains more than correspondence; it also has telegrams, monthly general fund reports, and financial reports. Some of the folders contain photographs (1923-1924). Some of the correspondence is in German (1930-1933), more in Spanish, but most of it is in English.
American Lutheran Church (1930-1960), Commission on Mexican Missions, Annual Statistics
The statistics in this series are monthly reports to the Commission on Mexican Missions (CMM) given by the pastors of each mission. The reports include information on the church, Sunday school, weekly school, offerings, tuition, expenses, and remittances. Beginning in 1936 summaries of the monthly reports are also included. In 1943 only the annual summaries are in the files, and by 1944 new, more detailed, annual report forms are present along with monthly summaries. The statistical reports of the missions in Mexico are in Spanish. The missions included in this series are San Antonio, San Juan, El Capote, Edinburg, Escobares, Edcouch, Weslaca, Altos Colorados, Campo Alto, Elsa, East Donna, Los Garzas, Rancho Largo, La Pamorana, Rancho Nuevo, El Castillo, Las Saenz, Alice, and Pharr, Texas. Mexico missions included Guadalejara, Mapartepec, Aespetalua, Colonia Jesus, Ayutla, Pajapita, Monte Cristo, Tapachula, San Luis Potosi, La Rastra, Rosario, Gracia, Guerrero, Veracruz, Tepic, and Moctezuma. Not every mission is represented in every folder.
American Lutheran Church (1930-1960), Commission on Mexican Missions, Minutes
This series contains the typed minutes of the Commission on Mexican Missions (CMM), originally the Board on Mexican Missions. Meetings were held in various churches of San Antonio, San Juan, and other locations in Texas, as well as periodically in Mexico. Some meetings were held during the Texas District annual conventions. Earlier Mexican Mission minutes can be found with the Joint Synod of Ohio records. Also included are Executive Committee meeting minutes and Texas District Committee on Appeals (1932). Occasional people present, aside from the board members, included the ALC president, the Texas District president, and workers in the Mexican missions. The format of the minutes changes ove...
American Lutheran Church (1930-1960), Commission on Mexican Missions, Subject Correspondence
This series contains mostly correspondence, but also includes minutes, conference papers, and financial statements. The folder titles are those that were on the original file folders. Most correspondence is filed under a particular subject, such as personnel, literature for Latin mission work, and Iglesia Luterana Mexicana, the Mexican Lutheran church. There are also some correspondence files for individuals who served on the commission. Alvin Koehler's correspondence is mostly from his time as Commission on Mexican Missions director. John Scherzer's correspondence is from his time as secretary and chairman; Edward Sagebiel's is from his time as chairman. These correspondence files are not large enough to constitute their own series within correspondence.
American Lutheran Church (1930-1960), Commission on Mexican Missions, John A. Scherzer Correspondence
Topics covered include advising potential mission workers on training, missionaries' salaries, reminders of board meetings, women's missionary society support of missions, organizing new missions, and general daily operations of the missions in Texas.
American Lutheran Church (1930-1960), Commission on Mexican Missions, Financial Records
This series includes correspondence, financial reports, budgets, vouchers, and account books. Most of the materials are from the 1940s and 1950s. The budgets and financial reports give an overview of expenditures and income for the Commission on Mexican Missions (CMM). For those years without reports, vouchers were kept to give some indication of financial activity within the CMM. Not every year of the CMM's existence has financial records. Some unusual records include the Women's Missionary Conference Accounts and Seminary Program Account Book; these files are not directly linked with the CMM, but are found among its records.
