BACKGROUND NOTE



The Arborville Congregational Church was organized in July of 1876 by the Rev. C.S. Harrison who had laid out the village several years earlier. The first church building was erected in 1877, and a new structure was dedicated in 1910. When the promised railroad did not come to Arborville, the people moved out, and the church is virtually all that remains of the village. In 1961 Arborville joined other Congregational churches in a merger with the Evangelical and Reformed Church and took the name of the United Church of Christ.



SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE



The records of the Arborville United Church of Christ near Bradshaw, Nebraska, are contained in nine volumes arranged in three series: 1) Registers, 1876-1974; 2) Financial Records, 1887-1972; and 3) Scrapbook, 1903-1976. The Registers contain the Constitution and By-Laws of the congregation, lists of pastors, officers, members, baptisms, and marriages, and minutes of meetings. The financial records include treasurers’ reports as well as accounts of income and expenses. The scrapbook contains photographs, clippings, and programs.



The church loaned these records for microfilming in September of 1976.

About History Nebraska
History Nebraska was founded in 1878 as the Nebraska State Historical Society by citizens who recognized Nebraska was going through great changes and they sought to record the stories of both indigenous and immigrant peoples. It was designated a state institution and began receiving funds from the legislature in 1883. Legislation in 1994 changed History Nebraska from a state institution to a state agency. The division is headed by Interim Director and CEO Jill Dolberg. They are assisted by an administrative staff responsible for financial and personnel functions, museum store services, security, and facilities maintenance for History Nebraska.
