Summary

Record of baptisms, confirmations, communions, marriages, and burials performed for the members of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, as well as offerings made to the church, from 1866 to 1888. Extended sequences of empty openings have not been scanned, page numbers make jumps accordingly. In addition, pages 261, 262, 271 and 272 are missing, the former having been cut from the book, and the latter having fallen out.

Entries cross two pages, recto and verso, and include place of baptism, name, birthdate and sometimes birthplace, name of parents and witnesses, signature of the clergyman who performed the baptism, and other notes such as whether the person baptized was suffering from an illness.
