Reesor United Mennonite Church family registers
Description
The Reesor United Mennonite congregation began services about 1926, and formally organized in May 1927. It was incorporated as the Reesor United Mennonite Church in 1932. The Reesor settlement was situated along the Trans-Canada highway west of Cochrane, Ontario, at approximately Mile 103. The settlement initially prospered, reaching a membership of 75 in 1932, but declined rapidly during the Depression. The congregation dissolved in 1948. The community and congregation were named after Old Order Mennonite minister, Thomas Reesor who aided in establishing the community. Three volumes of church registers are digitized here:
- Volume 1 (ca. 1926 to 1928)
- Volume 2 (to about 1937, with the last page having later dates)
- Volume 3 (to 1947)
