Ministers' Diaries & Sermons
Description
This collection shows Westfield through the eyes of its ministers. While there are sermons, the minister's diaries also portray our agricultural base, weather conditions, politics and births and deaths. Atwater's diary is presented completely, but Rev. Ballantine and Rev. Davis' diaries are only in part.
