Foreword
"Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heavenly host: Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost."
It is an honor and a privilege for a congregation to be able to celebrate its Centennial Anniversary. It is a joy to look through the pages of the history of the congregation to see the early beginnings, the developmental years, and the progress made to the present time. Pictures and historical sketches, such as those presented in this book, help to bring back many fond and cherished memories of what has taken place in this church over the years. But this book is more than merely a collection of dates, pictures, names, and statistics. This is a history of God at work in the lives of the men, women, and children of St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church, Spring Fountain, Iowa. God's grace is what has powered the people of St. John for the last 100 years. Through God's Holy Word, the saving grace of God in Christ Jesus our Lord, the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit, and the forgiving and refreshing power of the Sacraments of Holy Baptism and the Lord's Supper, the people of this church have been enabled to move forward in service to God and in praise to His holy name. To God alone, then, is glory, honor, and praise to be given. From one generation to another His name is praised in this church. He has led us in a century of His blessing. As you read the events in the history of this congregation in this book, see God at work, and praise Him, from whom all blessings flow.

History of St. John's Lutheran Church Spring Fountain
Leroy Township, Bremer County, R. R. 2, Sumner, Iowa
To write a complete history of our 100 years of witnessing and serving our Lord is impossible. But we have listed most of the important events by years and our motto is ... "whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God," I Cor. 10:31. We trust these efforts will be of interest to our children, relatives and friends. We are grateful to a few of our forefathers who in the fall of 1875 had the desires to organize St. John's congregation and by God's will we were blessed with this beautiful house of God. The original members were: Henry Steege, Henry Schnadt, Henry Keding, Fred Buhrow, Martin Hunemuller, Joseph Volker, Carl Bremer, John Drier, John Huenerberg, Christian Doss, Conrad Wilharm, Fred Volker, Theodore Hagen and William Schwake.
The parochial school was maintained from the time the first church was built in 1879 until in 1954 when, because of financial difficulties, it became necessary to close the school. The first pastors also served as teachers of the school. The following teachers served St. John's: Helen Born, 19 -1934; Elmer Greene, 1934-1935; Oscar Moll, 1935-1936; Esther Wolter, 1936-1937; Oscar Moll, 1937-1938; Verena Nieman, 1938-1940; Faith Lange, 1940-1943; Floyd Schweiger, 1943-1944; Carl Rogahn, 1944-1945; Betty Quandt, 1945-1947; Pastor Weiss, 1947-1948; Ellen Hoehne and Pastor Weiss, 1948-1950; Beverly Fink and Norma Kuepker, 1950-1951; Merle Rients, 1951-1953; Jack O'Benar, 1953-1954.
