While the bulk of the sermons that Wilson recorded were delivered by Rev. M. W. Jacobus, other entries reflect preaching by Mr. Herr, Orr Lawson, Calvin W. Stewart, Mr. Turner, A. A. Hodge, Mr. Greene, J. C. Caldwell, Prof. Shaw, J. B. Rendall, E. T. Jeffers, W. H. Miller, and M. Bracq.

The Polly C. Bishop Mansfield Collection contains poetry and sewing produced by Mansfield while a young woman during the mid-nineteenth century. Four poems entitled "Remembrance," "Nevermore," "Friendship," and "Persevere" are written on both sides of a slim sheet of paper. Mansfield hand-sewed a stuffed fabric fish, drawing scales, gills, and eyes on it with ink. The fish is affixed with thread to a manuscript note that reads, "Sarah Heaton Stiles and Polly Bishop Mansfield had a bet on and Polly was to give Sarah a shad, in payment. And she (Polly) made this shad, perhaps about 1850-2. They were young women."
