Biographical Note / Administrative History

Biographical Note

[Please note: A more complete biographical note of Eunice Blanchard Poethig can be found in the collection guide of the Eunice Blanchard Poethig Papers (RG 516).]

Reverend Richard Paul Poethig was born on July 13, 1925 into a German American family in the Yorkville neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. His parents were Ernest and Henrietta Schölzel Poethig. Richard attended the College of Wooster (Ohio) from 1945 to 1949 and Union Theological Seminary (New York City) from 1949 to 1952. While at Union Theological Seminary, he met Eunice Blanchard. The two married on June 7, 1952 in Dayton, Ohio. Their children are Richard Scott, Kathryn Aileen, Johanna Klare, Margaret Juliet, and Erika Christy. Richard was ordained in the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America (PCUSA) on June 27, 1952 at Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church (Presbytery of New York). He served as the organizing pastor of Northminster Presbyterian Church (Buffalo, New York) from 1952 to around 1956.

In December 1956, Richard and Eunice were appointed to the PCUSA Board of Foreign Missions Philippines Mission and arrived in Manila in March 1957 with their children. Serving as fraternal workers under the Commission on Ecumenical Mission and Relations (COEMAR), they were assigned to the United Church of Christ in the Philippines (UCCP). Richard contributed to the new field of urban-industrial evangelism and mission, training church and lay leaders to advocate for industrial workers and to improve housing for the urban poor. He served as the director of the Inter-Seminary Urban-Industrial Institute in Manila from 1965 to 1972 and developed the UCCP's Committee on Industrial Life and Vocations (COILV). He also taught courses at seminaries and universities in the Philippines.

In 1972, the Poethigs moved to Chicago where Richard served as director of the Institute on the Church in Urban-Industrial Society (ICUIS) and as dean of the Presbyterian Institute of Industrial Relations (PIIR) at McCormick Theological Seminary (Chicago). As globalization began affecting manufacturing jobs, ICUIS reported on the economic dissolution in the Rust Belt around the Great Lakes. Richard also served as adjunct faculty at McCormick and as moderator of the Presbytery of Chicago's Church and Society Committee during this time. After ICUIS's closure in 1982, he served as interim pastor of Chicago Ridge Presbyterian Church. In 1986, Richard and Eunice moved to Buffalo, New York, where Eunice served as executive presbyter of the Presbytery of Western New York. Richard continued to work on writing and publishing, especially on articles for the Presbyterian Historical Society.

In 1993, Eunice became director of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) (PC(USA)) Congregational Ministries Division (CMD) in Louisville, Kentucky. She was forced to leave her directorship after the CMD Committee did not renew her contract in 1998. Eunice and Richard then retired to Chicago. Eunice died on March 25, 2018, and Richard died on November 22, 2021.

Collection Overview

[Please note: The majority of Eunice Blanchard Poethig's professional papers were processed at an earlier time as the Eunice Blanchard Poethig Papers (RG 516).]

This collection contains audiovisual materials, correspondence, photographs and photograph albums, printed materials and publications, research materials, scrapbooks, subject files, writings (including sermons), and other materials that document the personal lives and professional endeavors of Richard Paul Poethig and, to a lesser degree, Eunice Blanchard Poethig. Richard's work in the field of urban and industrial mission is well documented. Some materials also pertain to other Poethig family members and relatives.

The Richard P. Poethig Papers series, 1851-2016, contains the professional papers of Richard Paul Poethig. The papers are chiefly arranged in topical/subject-based groups, mirroring the original arrangement that Poethig used to organize his papers. The series includes bibliographies, correspondence, coursework and course materials, photographic materials (chiefly negatives, photographic prints, and 35mm slides), printed materials and publications (including newsletters and newspaper clippings), reports, research materials, subject files, writings (chiefly articles, papers, and sermons), and other materials. Major topics, entities, and work in Poethig's life documented include: the Institute on the Church in Urban-Industrial Society (ICUIS) and the Presbyterian Institute of Industrial Relations (PIIR); economic democracy and worker participation; economic dislocation, plant closings, and unemployment; metropolitan-urban mission and urban-industrial mission work and history, in the United States and globally; the Philippines, including the United Church of Christ in the Philippines (UCCP) and Zone One Tondo Organization (ZOTO); religion and labor issues; coursework at Union Theological Seminary; and Poethig's later career activities.

The Eunice Blanchard Poethig Papers series, circa 1865-2014, contains some personal and professional papers of Eunice Blanchard Poethig. The series includes conference and workshop materials, correspondence, photographic materials (chiefly negatives, photographic prints, and slides), writings (including sermons), and other materials. Materials chiefly document Eunice's work in the Congregational Ministries Division (CMD) in Louisville, Kentucky; her early life; her life in the Philippines; and her sermon writing.

The Poethig Family Papers series, 1821-2021, includes correspondence, genealogical materials, maps, photographic items (chiefly slides), writings, and other materials compiled, collected, and created by the Poethig family. Materials are generally personal in nature. Included are materials pertaining to the Axtell and Stroh families (relatives of Eunice Poethig).

The Photograph Albums and Scrapbooks series, circa 1930-2013, contains photograph albums and scrapbooks, chiefly compiled and prepared by Eunice Blanchard Poethig. Materials are both personal and professional in nature, documenting travel, Eunice's CMD work, and reunions. While the materials mostly pertain to the activities of Richard and Eunice Poethig, other family members are also represented.

The Audiovisual Materials series, circa 1970-2012, includes audiocassettes, born digital audio files, compact discs (audio), and videotapes (VHS). Materials chiefly pertain to Richard Poethig's work in urban-industrial mission and research endeavors and include audio recordings of conferences and interviews. Some audiocassettes belonged to Eunice Poethig.
