The Passing of Gifts
In the first half of the 19th Century, our forebears arrived in Galveston and walked across to the rolling hills and sweet springs of Central Texas. From those first steps, five generations of women have nurtured land and children just north of Boerne. They are bright, persevering, creative wives, mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers. These are their stories.
Eda and Ilse
Grieving the sudden death of her beloved husband a few years after they lost their first child, Eda Kampmann Herff picks up an abandoned ledger and starts writing a Diary on the first day of 1884. A century later, her granddaughter, Ilse Herff Frost yields to a grandson’s pleading and writes her Reminiscence. She recounts growing up in South Texas – Boerne and San Antonio – in the early 20th century. These two women are descendents of J.H. Kampmann, one of the 19th century German settlers who brought their enterprise, culture and utopian ideals to the vivid Mexican city of San Antonio. JHK was a dynamic civic leader. He built several of the classic German houses in the city’s King Wi...

The Funeral
This liturgical resource will help guide pastors and other church workers as they help church members through the bereavement process. The Presbyterian Supplemental Liturgical Resource (SLT) series includes liturgies that were used on a trial basis in preparation for the development of the Book of Common Worship. Though superseded by the Book of Common Worship, SLR resources remain valuable, both for the variety of liturgical texts they contain and for the commentary on the text, which contains rich historical, theological, and practical background.
The Story of a Pioneer
This autobiography follows the life of Anna Shaw (1847-1919) from her birth in Newcastle-on-Tyne, England through her presidency of the National American Woman Suffrage Association. Shaw immigrated with her genteel but financially pressed family to America in 1851. They settled first in New Bedford and then in Lawrence, Massachusetts, finally migrating in 1859 to a pioneer farmstead in northern Michigan, where Anna performed much of the subsistence labor during her father's long absences. The first part of her narrative emphasizes her efforts to gain an education and take up a ministerial career. After two years at Albion College, she attended Boston Theological School (1876-1878) and accepted a pastorate in East Dennis, Cape Cod, after graduation; later she also took temporary charge of the Congregational Church in Dennis. After her ordination had been blocked by members of the New England Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church opposed to ordaining women, Shaw was ordained by the 1880 Conference of the Methodist Protestant Church in Tarrytown, N.Y.
