Notes |
In 1859 Pastor Johann G. Ebinger and Pastor C. F. Springer of the Berlin community encouraged settlers to meet in home. Pastor Jacob Graul conducted monthly services and Ludwig Heine served as a lay person between these services. Steps to build a church and organize a congregation were taken in 1869 and 1870 to form Deutsche Evangelische Lutherische St. Paulus Germeinde. Items are added to these files as the archives receives them. |
