Description

The field work for this study was made possible through the cooperation of the State and Federal Work Projects Administration with the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station. The project was officially designated as W.P.A. Project No·. 665-74-3-143. The specific information contained in this study was obtained in the following manner. Current farmer operator lists were made up for each township in the county, and then sent respectively to the ministers serving each township area. The lists contained blank column space so that information could be filled in from the pastor’s records as to what was the denominational preference, membership, and place of church attendance, if any, for each of the farm families under consideration. When complete information on certain families was lacking from the local church records, an effect was then made to secure the balance of desired facts from available public records within the county or in an occasional personal interview. Where the term “church attendance” is used in this study, no reference is made to the regularity of attendance, but rather to the place of attendance.
