Scripture memory card, circa 1915-1920
"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." --Isaiah 40:31 (King James Version)
These cards are from a collection of Scripture memory cards given to Clara Kusler Mayer in her Sunday school class at the Gnadenfeld Congregational Church near Kulm, south-central North Dakota.
Clara, the daughter of Germans from Russia immigrants, was born in 1902 in Parkston, South Dakota. Her parents came from the villages near present-day Odessa, Ukraine: Johann Kusler from Worms, Beresan District, and Magdalena Grosz from Kulm, Bessarabia.
In March 1921, Clara Kusler married John Mayer in a double wedding ceremony along with Clara's brother, Edward Christian Kusler, who married John's sister, Carolina (Carrie) Mayer. Clara died in 1986 in Kulm, North Dakota.
This collection of memory cards featuring color lithography was originally published in New York. They were donated by Clara's sister, Adeline Kusler McCloy, to the Germans from Russia Heritage Collection in January 2002.
