This collection includes the sermons, teachings, addresses, writings, notebooks, and accounting records of United Brethren Bishop Cyrus J. Kephart. The bulk of the collection are his sermons, that while undated, may have come from during the period when he served as pastor in Iowa and Ohio, 1878-1913.. His teachings and addresses, due to the subjects and audiences being addressed, appear to have been written while serving as Bishop of the United Brethren Church's Southwestern District from 1913 to 1925. Other writings include his studies and possible drafts of his publications.

This collection consists of manuscripts, a diary, and some biographical information. The manuscripts are all handwritten, and most appear to have been written by Lyman Miller. They address various topics and issues, ranging from "Socialism" to "An Oyster Supper." The longest manuscript is that of a novella written by "Augustus Smith" relating the trials of his marriage to a highly educated wife. One of the manuscripts is a student paper by Bertie Miller.

The diary was written by Lyman Miller and consists of handwritten pages bound together with string. It related the events of his daily life from April through November, 1883.

The biographical material consists of several typewritten pages giving genealogical and other information about members of the Miller family.

This collection contains manuscripts, photographs, correspondence, notes, questionnaires, cemetery records, reports, college programs, and other sundry documents relating to the history of Westfield College in Westfield, Illinois.
