The son of Nazarene missionaries in Africa, Dayhoff studied at the University of Witwatersrand (B.A. 1948), Asbury Theological
Seminary (B.D. 1951), and the University of South Africa (D.Th. 1980). His D.Th. dissertation was entitled “The Message of
Holiness of the Church of the Nazarene Among the Northern Sotho People.” In addition to the African prosopography material,
the collection documents the life and ministry of Paul Stanley and Margaret Lillian Stark Dayhoff, including published materials,
unpublished materials and labeled photographs in both digital and paper formats. The collection also contains items published
by his father Irwin E. Dayhoff.
Irvine Dayhoff (1894-1982) was born in Dayton, Kansas. In 1916 he married Fannie Longnecker.(1890-1989) Irvine and Fannie
Dayhoff went to South Africa in 1919 as missionaries sponsored by the Hephzibah Faith Missionary Association. In 1939, after
a furlough of two years they went back as independent missionaries. In 1941 they affiliated themselves with the International
Holiness Mission which merged with the Church of the Nazarene in 1952. In 1942 they founded the Lorraine Mission. The Thriving
North Eastern District of the Church of the Nazarene in South Africa is the direct result of their work, along with other
pioneers. They retired at University Park Iowa in 1960.
