Castle ruins, undated
Scope and Contents
This is a book of photos taken around the time of Andrew L. Heggie's LDS mission to Germany and Switzerland. The time period covers approximately 1925-1930. Prior to the time of his mission, there are several photos of family and friends in and around Clarkston. Included in the photos of his mission are the following: missionary portraits, snapshots of missionaries, pictures of missionary groups, and photos of families and acquaintances from his mission area. Worth noting in this book are the many photographs (pre-World War II) of the cities in which Andrew Heggie served. Heidelberg, Darmstadt, Goderheim, and Worms are all included in this group of photos. The photographs in this book are glued onto brown construction paper. Phrases in full quotation marks (" ") are taken directly from the album. Many of the inscriptions below the pictures in this album are in German. All German words, except for place names and the word 'Gemeinde,' meaning a parish or congregation, will be italicized.
