The church clerk from 1925 provides a note at the beginning of his minute book which suggests that any records for the period prior to 1925 burned in a house fire.</p> </bioghist> <accessrestrict id="ref16"> <head>Access Restrictions</head> <p>Collection is open for researchers.</p> </accessrestrict> <controlaccess> <corpname source="local">Mount Home Baptist Church (Morganton, N.C.).</corpname> <subject source="lcsh">Baptists--North Carolina--Burke County--History--Sources </subject> <geogname source="lcsh">Burke County (N.C.)--Church history--Sources</geogname> <subject source="lcsh">Church records and registers--North Carolina--Burke County </subject> <subject source="lcsh">Church records and registers--North Carolina--Morganton</subject> </controlaccess> <dsc> <c id="ref5" level="series"> <did> <unittitle>Minutes</unittitle> </did> <c id="ref6" level="subseries"> <did> <unittitle>Book 1</unittitle> <container id="cid1197001" type="Reel" label="Microform">1</container> <unitdate>1925-1938</unitdate> </did> </c> <c id="ref7" level="subseries"> <did> <unittitle>Book 2</unittitle> <container id="cid1197002" type="Reel" label="Microform">1</container> <unitdate>1939-1947</unitdate> </did> </c> <c id="ref8" level="subseries"> <did> <unittitle>Book 3</unittitle> <container id="cid1197003" type="Reel" label="Microform">1</container> <unitdate>1947-1950</unitdate> </did> </c> <c id="ref9" level="subseries"> <did> <unittitle>Book 4</unittitle> <container id="cid1197004" type="Reel" label="Microform">1</container> <unitdate>1950-1962</unitdate> </did> </c> <c id="ref10" level="subseries"> <did> <unittitle>Book 5</unittitle> <container id="cid1197005" type="Reel" label="Microform">2</container> <unitdate>1962-1968</unitdate> </did> </c> <c id="ref11" level="subseries"> <did> <unittitle>Book 6</unittitle> <container id="cid1197006" type="Reel" label="Microform">2</container> <unitdate>1968-1972</unitdate> </did> </c> </c> </dsc> </archdesc> </ead>
