The Stanley R. Rall Collection consists of one original letter and photocopies of letters from Rev. Eugen Bachmann to his cousin Jacob Rall of Ashley, North Dakota; a photocopy of a funeral photograph with information about the cause of death; biographical information on Bachmann; and a book on the Arnold family. The collection has been organized into four series: Correspondence, Photograph, Family History, and Book.

The Correspondence Series contains four letters by Rev. Eugen Bachmann to the Rall family of Ashley, ND. The dates of the letters are 1927, 1987 and 1988. The letter from 1927 is the original and the other letters are copies, dating to the 1980s. All of the letters are in German. The 1927 letter has been translated by Stanley Rall. The 1927 letter and its envelope were laminated before their donation to the GRHC. Some of the copied letters contain family history information. Also present in the series is a note and maps from Stanley Rall. The maps provide locations for Bergdorf and Friedenstal (Trigrad/Trekhgrady).

The Photograph Series is comprised of two photocopies of the Karl Arnold family funeral. Members of the family died after Bolsheviks poisoned their wooden casket of wheat flour sent from the Jakob Rall family of Ashley, North Dakota. There are also photocopies of two envelopes and an accompanying letter from Stanley Rall.

The Family History Series consists an obituary and biography for Eugen Bachmann and a short history of Bachmann’s Lutheran church in Russia. Pages and excerpts are all photocopies.

The Book Series has one book. The book was written by Stanley R. Rall and relates to Arnold family history, 1700-2010. The book, or binder, has some history, many family group sheets and photocopies of family photographs.
