In 1883 this beautiful brick church was built along the Dover road, in this

historic name.  The officiating clergymen at the time of dedication were Revs. J. 
O. Miller, I. S. Weisz, G. W. Enders, P. Anstadt.  The cost of the church was 
$4,600.  The building committee were Johnathan Wilt, George Leckrone and Jesse

Porr is the pastor of the Lutheran congregation of seventy-five members.
