Correspondence, 1927; 1940

Correspondence, photographs, news clippings, citizenship paperwork, a confirmation certificate, a book on the history of Temple Israel, guides to Jewish cemeteries in the area, and an oral history document the lives of members of the Schwartz and Stein families within the Schulenburg area's Jewish community and the history of, and events at, Temple Israel from 1925-2020. Of particular interest is the "History of Temple Israel" which not only delivers the history of the founding of the synagogue, but also gives background on many of its members -- including some genealogy information -- and descriptions of the surrounding communities.
