Jackson Sentinel, Maquoketa, Iowa, October 5, 1893

St. Peter’s Catholic Church, Springbrook-

St. Peters Roman Catholic church is located here upon a slightly eminence 
commanding a beautiful view of the surrounding country. It is a large and 
wealthy parish and is under charge of Rev. W. Knapstein, a talented and 
liberal minded German priest. The church is quite a large one and the altar 
and interior decorates are very beautiful and the exterior is now undergoing a 
course of repairs. Last Sunday occurred the celebration of the feast of the 
rosary and the Rev. Knapstein delivered an interesting sermon in English with 
the Lord’s prayer as the subject of his text. The singing is entirely by male 
voices, the choir being composed of eight gentlemen, and for volume, time and 
harmony is seldom surpassed.
