Biographical Note

The following biographical note is excerpted from brotherhoodnews.com:

“Jerry Wood Hill, long-time missionary, was born in Sabinal on October 2, 1928. He moved to Pleasanton when he was a boy, where he graduated from Pleasanton High School. He served in the Air Force from 1946-1949 and graduated from Abilene Christian University in 1952. In 2002, ACU recognized Jerry and his wife Ann with a plaque commemorating their 43 years of service as evangelists and missionaries in Latin America.

He began his journey in mission work, teaching and preaching in English and Spanish at Benavides. In 1959 Jerry and his family moved to Guatemala. They did mission work in Guatemala, Mexico, Bolivia, and Argentina for over twenty years.”

Arrangement

Collection, for the most part, are in the original order. It is possible that segments may be going forward, and some sections may be in reverse (originally 1, 2, 3, 4 now 4, 3, 2, 1) due to confusion on the original order. Nevertheless, the order is the same for most of the content except for box 8 that contains the agendas, tapes, and a box of index cards that were either originally on their own or were a part of other boxes.
