Background

Scope and Content:

The records of St. Alban's Episcopal Church contain information on the secular workings of the church. The three main series are: Vestry Meeting Minutes (1909-1976), Registers of Church Services (1943-1976), and Registers of baptisms, burials, marriages, and communicants (1907-1976).

Biographical / Historical:

Beyond scattered details found in the records of St. Alban's Episcopal Church, historical information about this church is unfortunately lacking. St. Alban's was started in 1908 by the Rev. William F. Faber. The member initially held services in a doctor's office, then moved in 1912 to a location on Glendale Avenue in Highland Park, Michigan, where eventually in 1918 a chapel was constructed. Because of declining membership, the church disbanded in 1976, holding its last service on January 25.

Acquisition Information:
