This collection consists of a single ledger maintained by George Brown, a Wythe County, Virginia assistant county clerk and also apparently a church clerk or treasurer. The ledger contains a page detailing credits to the county's special funds for 1906 and a list of delinquent taxpayers for that year. The majority of the ledger, however, details the transactions of various church funds, apparently those of the Lutheran Synod of Southwest Virginia. Included are account statements showing the synodical apportionments of individual churches, as well as account statements for various church projects and missions, such as an orphanage, home and foreign missions, assorted foreign relief funds, Elizabeth College, a theological seminary, and various educational sponsorships.
