| Description: | "The congregation was organized July 8, 1866. The corner-stone was laid November 4, 1867, and the church dedicated November 1,1868 by Archbishop Purcell. The building is of brick, in the Roman style, 30 x 70 feet, and cost $10,000. The building was originally intended for a school house, but has always been used both for church and school purposes. The congregation is increasing rapidly and it will soon be necessary to erect a larger and more suitable edifice. Adjoining the church is a cemetery of four acres, and a garden and playground of two additional acres. Rev. Geo. J. Vaith was the first pastor, being in turn succeeded by the following pastors: Revs. A.M. Feldhaus, Bernard Muething and Christian French. The present pastor, Rev. Herman Ellerbrock, has been in charge since January 23, 1896. The congregation numbers 130 families." | |
