I completed two more old church records:
Membership records of Second Baptist Church of Sweden. These are from 1819 to 1840. Even though they mostly describe people coming and going there are some deaths included. Also remember that Baptist did not do infant baptism. You had to be an adult to get baptized. These records were transcribed by Myrte Rice Haynes of the local Daughters of the American Revolution.
Next is Members and baptisms of the Parma Greece Congregational Church, This was a strange church. It sat right on the town line of Greece and Parma just to the south of Ridge Road. At the time the church existed what is now Manitou Road had a bend to go around the church. Next to the church was a cemetery called West Greece Cemetery but actual in the Town of Parma. That cemetery is still there but the church is long gone.
This church did do infant baptisms and they are included. These records cover the time from 1819 to 1860. The records were copied by Mrs. Lula Purdy Smith and transcribe by Myrte Rice Haynes both from the local D.A.R. It was noted in this transcription that the original church book was located in the Rochester Historical Society in the 1930s. Not sure if they are still there, but I would think that they are.
Then I also scanned 4 booklets:
Program for Lake Avenue Baptist Church dated Dec. 22, 1912. This is their weekly program brochure. I have previously scanned a few other weekly programs from this church.
A 1935 program on Easter at St. Thomas Episcopal Church, Rochester, NY.
Program for a dinner and induction of new members of the Royal Order of Jesters and dated Nov. 19, 1960. I love the graphics in this program like the jester on the right. I recognize a couple of the inductees that year as local merchants.
Program for Class Day, St. Andrew’s Seminary, 1917. This is tiny but it lists all 13 of the graduates of the class of 1917. I think this school lasted until the 1960s.
Kodak Lenses for Professional Photography (Sept. 1951). Description of Kodak lenses along with a price list from 1951. There is also a picture of musician Victor Borge that says it was taken with a Kodak Ektar lens. The prices of the lenses seem high especially when you remember this was from 1951.
