Series 1: Clara

The Peterson Family Papers include correspondence from Church of God missionaries, personal diaries of Clara, scans of the first three diaries, transcriptions of the diaries, a newsletter mentioning members of the Peterson family, and two books owned by Clara and Helga.

These papers are important for research on the growth of the Church of God ministry in the Dakotas, for research on Church of God missionary journeys, and for understanding the duties of women on a Midwest homestead.
