Out of the Schwemmly
Saloma Martin Smith was born in Hawkesville, Ont. of parents who belonged to the Dave Martin order of Mennonites until their own encounter with Christ. Much of Saloma's childhood was spent in the Schwemmly, a cedar grove about four miles from St. Jacobs on the line between Wellesley and Woolwich townships. Having left school after Grade 7, she worked in factories and as a charwoman. How she studied to get her high school diploma, teacher training, and eventually her bachelor's and master's degrees while teaching and raising a family, is a story of courage and determination. Saloma realized early that life was about service, and responded to the Lord's call to be available for anything, anytime, anywhere. A twenty-year career of teaching ESL in inner-city schools in Toronto, Ontario was followed by an equally long service in Pakistan. She continues to carry out literacy work in the villages of the desert region of Sindh, whose people are among the poorest in the world.

The Children's Guide - Q & A for the Christian Faith
This book was first used in the Junior Church of Westmount Park Associated Gospel Church. While teaching there, the author became aware of the need for a children's version of the AGC's adaptation of the Westminster Confession. This children's version was checked and approved by Rev. Grant Wright, a pastor at Westmount. It has since been used in many places, including Pakistan, where the author has worked since 1984. May this book be a blessing to all who use it in Sunday School, junior church, or the home. There is great urgency that our children be established in the doctrines of the Word.
Why I Left the Amish
There are two ways to leave the Amish—one is through life and the other through death. When Saloma Miller Furlong’s father dies during her first semester at Smith College, she returns to the Amish community she had left twenty four years earlier to attend his funeral. Her journey home prompts a flood of memories. Now a mother with grown children of her own, Furlong recalls her painful childhood in a family defined by her father’s mental illness, her brother’s brutality, her mother’s frustration, and the austere traditions of the Amish—traditions Furlong struggled to accept for years before making the difficult decision to leave the community. In this personal and moving memoir, Furlong traces the genesis of her desire for freedom and education and chronicles her conflicted quest for independence. Eloquently told, Why I Left the Amish is a revealing portrait of life within—and without—this frequently misunderstood community.

The Barbour Collection of Connecticut Town Vital Records
Covering 137 Connecticut towns and comprising 14,333 typed pages, the Barbour Collection of Connecticut birth, marriage, and death records to about 1850 was the life work of Lucius Barnes Barbour, Connecticut Examiner of Public Records from 1911 to 1934. This present series, under the general editorship of Lorraine Cook White, is a town-by-town transcription of Barbour's celebrated collection of vital records, one of the last great manuscript collections to be published. Each volume in the series contains the birth, marriage, and death records of one or more Connecticut towns. Entries are listed in alphabetical order by town (also in alphabetical order) and give, typically, name, date of event, names of parents, names of children, names of both spouses, and sometimes such items as age, occupation, and place of residence. The towns of Wilton, Winchester, Wolcott, Woodbridge, Woodbury, and Woodstock are the subjects of Volume 53, which was compiled by the Debra F. Wilmes.
