Findlay - The German Evangelical Lutheran St. John's Congregation--The original members of this society formed an organization with those of the Reformed faith in February, 1854, and worshiped together up to the spring of 1858, when they separated. The same month the joint organization was formed Lot 54 on West Front Street was purchased at a cost of $278, but after each faith had organized a separate society the Lutherans purchased the interest of the Reformed Church (November 29, 1858) for the sum of $114.50. On the 29th of August, 1858, the German Lutherans held a meeting in the court house, with Ernest Kempf, chairman, and Michael Gluaner, secretary. At the meeting the "German Evangelical Lutheran St. John's Congregation" was organized; and Charles Dietsch, Peter Roszman and Michael Glauner chosen trustees, and Ernest Kempf, clerk. Rev. M. During was the minister who effected the organization, and the society met for worship in the court house semi-monthly. In 1862 the present brick church on West Front Street was built upon the lot purchased by the Reformed and the Lutherans in 1854. The building committee was Charles Dietsch, Charles Hahn, Henry LANNERT, Ernst Kempf and Edward Dietsch, and the structure was completed at a total expense of $2,500, and dedicated and first occupied on Whit Sunday in 1863. Revs. M. During, H. Lang and G. Crownenwitt conducted the didicatory services. A good bell has since been procured, and a parsonage bought on Front Street, not far from the church, at a cost of $1, 900. Rev. Martin Buerkle succeeded M. During, and served the congregation eleven years. His successors have been Rev.s J. T. Groth, J. B. Webber and E. L. T. Engers, the present pastor. St. John's embraces some eighty-three families, and has a flourishing Sunday-school of about 100 scholars...
