Palatine Churches
FIRST METHODIST CHURCH
First Methodist church of Palatine had its be- ginning in 1835 when William Royal was assigned to the Fox River Circuit including Deer Grove, Plum Grove and Elk Grove. Numerous circuit riders held meetings monthly for the Deer Grove settlers. One of these was Rev. John Nason whose grandson, Charles Nason, later served as a member of the of- ficial church board for 61 years.
The coming of the railroad defeated the plans of building in Deer Grove and in 1857 the first re- ligious services in Palatine were conducted by cir- cuit rider Rev. Thos. Cochran in the village school. The congregation consisted of over 50 members.
The first church building was erected the follow- ing year on land donated by Joel Wood, the site of the present church. It cost $1,500, and was enlarged in 1867 under the pastorate of Rev. Henry Lea. The present parsonage was built in 1885 just south of the church. Former ministers had lived across the street west, in a red brick house, since torn down.
The present brick church was designed in 1895 by the Rev. William Smith, minister at that time, and was built by Jacob Wenegar. The grandchil- dren of both Rev. Smith and Mr. Wenegar are active in the church today.
The old frame church was sold and moved to the rear of 207 N. Hale and used as a pigeon loft by Robertson. A large addition was added to the east of the building in 1952 for more adequate Sun- day School facilities. Within the past two years the northeast section of the block and a lot directly south of the parsonage were purchased to enable further building expansion. The present member- ship is 835.
Memorials in the church include a G.A.R. al- cove over the main entrance to the Civil War regi- ment that was recruited there; windows in memory of former pastors Henry Lea, William Smith, lay preacher Thomas Falls Wilson and Rollin S. Will- iamson, Sunday School superintendent for over 24 years; a Margaret (Young) Paddock room in mem- ory of a former Sunday School teacher, the daugh- ter of Rev. Young.
The first resident minister was Rev. Lucius Hawkins and among the more recent of those who followed were: Henry Lea, 1884-87; M. H. Plumb, 1887-92; William H. Smith, 1892-96; J. C. Butcher, 1896-98; D. J. Holmes, 1900-04; George S. Young, 1904-08; H. Olin Cady, 1909-12; J. S. Robeson, 1912- 14; K. E. Grose, 1914-16; L. E. Foster, 1916-19; S. E. Pollock, 1921-22; A. M. Krahl, 1923-26; J. P. Staf- ford, 1927-32; Sidney Bloomquist, 1932-36; Rev Schnell, 1937; Theo Potter, 1938-43; Leon Hammitt, 1944-46; William H. Fetz, 1946-53; Harold E. Olson, 1953-

DEER GROVE EVANGELICAL CHURCH
The Evangelical congregation at Deer Grove was organized in 1845 by Rev. G. A. Blank of the Des Plaines Circuit. There were fourteen charter members including Henry, Bernhardt and G. H. Elfrink; L. and Gerh. Listhartke; L. Meiners; Her- man, John and Lambert Landwehr; L. Bauman; B. Gieske; Peter Rieger and H. Miller. Henry Elfrink was chosen as class leader and held the office until his death.
The meeting place was a log cabin owned by the
Elfrink brothers, or in the homes of members. For many years Peter Rieger was the Sunday School su- perintendent.
The first church was built in 1854, J. Schaefle, pastor. The site is identified today by the old ceme- tery just southwest of the viaduct of Dundee Road over the C.&N.W. Ry. In 1863 a parsonage was built in the village of Barrington and a church was built there in 1865. Thereafter Deer Grove gradually receded in relative importance and the name of the circuit was changed to Barrington in 1876.
Camp meetings were held every summer and continued to be held in Deer Grove until 1894, on Father Elfrink's land, now Deer Grove Forest Pre- serve. Undoubtedly the meetings there were much the same as those described in the Centennial His- tory of the Church.
"The audience sat under the open sky, except as sheltered by the trees . . . The people lived in tents, or in temporary booths, roughly constructed of boards. For lighting the grounds fire stands were reared of small logs of cord wood lengths, which were laid in squares to a height of about four feet, and the interior space filled with earth. On top of these earth stands fires were kept burning at night to light up the edges of the encampment. Light for the audience at best was far from perfect. But in those days people did not need hymn books for sing- ing at camp meetings. Everyone was familiar with the jubilant and rousing revival choruses. Usually the meetings lasted ten days or more, and people traveled long distances to be present. All work was laid aside as far as possible and the camp meeting was given the right of way." (Schwab and Thoren "Hist. of Ill. Conference.")
The old cemetery may still be visited near the site of the original church. In the oldest section bur- ials were made by date of death rather than by families. Some of the earliest inscriptions are as follows :
Hana W. H. Landwer d. Feb. 7, 1851.
Lambert Welmers d. Dec. 11, 1859.
Martha Plagge 1796-1863.
Caroline Miller d. Jan. 1862, age 70 yrs.
Hannah Lagerschulte starb. 29 Jan. 1866. Lambert Elfrink gest. 1867.

ST. JOHN EVANGELICAL & REFORMED CHURCH, PLUM GROVE
The Centennial of St. John Evangelical Church, Plum Grove, Ill., was observed Aug. 29, 1948. This was held two years late in order that it might coin- cide with the re-dedication of the renovated building.
The church was organized in 1846 and formally named in 1850 the United Evangelical Congregation, Wickliffe, Cook Co., Ill. Two sites one-half mile apart formed the basis of much controversy during the early years. The parsonage was built on the Ottman site, but the church was built on the site donated by Morgan S. Johnson, 1/2 mile east. In 1865 a schoolhouse was built near the parsonage. Ten years later a new church building was dedicat- ed on the Johnson site and renamed St. John.
In 1882 a newly constructed parsonage and school were destroyed by fire and the congregation agreed to erect new buildings on the church site.
A few years after the dedication, the new church
39
was struck by lightning and burned, August 1885. In December of the same year, despite icy roads and snow drifts, a new building was dedicated. This building completely renovated in 1948 serves the congregation today.
The church affiliated with Immanuel of Han- over Township in 1944 and Rev. R. Beecken has served both congregations since 1945.
Other pastors who have served the congregation during its long history include :
Rev. J. S. Dumser, 1846-49; Rev. P. Lehmann, 1854-57; Rev. Richard Krueger, 1869-80; Rev. H. J. Dorjahn, 1884-95; Rev. V. Ziemer, 1902-06; Rev. M. Weber, 1906-09; Rev. G. H. Stanger, 1909-17; Rev. F. Ernst, 1917-25; Rev. C. Schulmeistrat, 1925-31; Rev. F. W. Buehler, 1932-37; Rev. A. Kalkbrenner, 1938- 43; and Rev. P. Beecken, 1945-
The cemetery to the east of St. John's church has the name Mount Hope on its entrance. The lit- tle section directly east of the church is the oldest part and here the burials were made chronological- ly, as the people died, rather than in family plots. Many of the German farmers who settled in the neighborhood are buried here. Most of the inscrip- tions are in German and are so eroded as to be illegible on many markers. The newest section of the cemetery is located directly east of the parson- age.
Some of the earlier burials include :
Vehe, kinder John M. Vehe d. 1853.
Kersting d. 1865.
Wilhelm Schrader, kinder, Friedrick and Sophia Vehe d. 1863.

DISCIPLE CHURCH
The Disciple Church was organized at Palatine November 5, 1858, with 25 members. At first they worshiped in a private house and also in the school- house. A church building was erected in 1865 at a cost of $2,600, on a lot donated to the society by Joel Wood. At this time the church was in a pros- perous condition, having a membership of 70. From this time the membership gradually diminished by removals and deaths, and in 1870, the society, being unable to support itself, sold its church property to the Evangelical Lutheran congregation for $2,000.

SALEM EVANGELICAL CHURCH
Circuit riders from the Des Plaines circuit of the Evangelical Church held services among the early Plum Grove settlers. Their first church was built on land donated by John Nordmier, north of Kirch- hoff at Plum Grove Rd. There is no record of when this first church was built, but a few people recall when it was struck by lightning and burned in the early 1890's. Another church was built on the same location where services were held until 1912 when a lot was purchased in Palatine on Plum Grove at Lincoln St. and the building was moved into town.
Until 1912, when it became a separate mission, the church was served from Barrington. Early pas- tors include Rev. Strickfaden and Rev. Suhr and all services were held in German. Since coming to Palatine Revs. C. C. Fuessle, J. C. Schwab and I. W. Lageschulte served the congregation. Rev. Land- wehr was the last resident minister. The congrega- tion disbanded in 1955 and the building was sold to the Lutheran church.
A cemetery adjoined the church at the old loca- tion. Long ago there were tombstones on the south side of Kirchhoff road as well.
IMMANUEL LUTHERAN CHURCH
In February, 1869, eleven families met on the platform of the C&NW depot to discuss formal or- ganization of a Lutheran congregation. Before that time Pastor Richman of Schaumburg had held serv- ices every other Sunday in a building on the south- west corner of Wilson & Bothwell, owned by the Masonic Order. In March, a week later, the fol- lowing membership was formally organized:
H. C. Batterman, Conrad, Henry and Otto Engel- king, F. Grebe, L. Hartung, H. Knickrehm, E. Prellberg, F. S. Senne, H. Schirding and H. Schroe- der.
Pastor Roeder of Dunton (now Arlington Heights) conducted services for them in this same location.
One year later four acres were purchased west of the present Greeley St. and south from Chicago Ave., including the cemetery. The cemetery was formally dedicated and plans progressed for a church building on that site. Lack of funds made building inadvisable and the land was sold to H. C. Batterman for $2,000. With this capital they pur- chased a church building on N. Plum Grove, former- ly used by the Disciple's Church and the site of the present brick Lutheran school building.
A parsonage was built to the north of the church and Rev. Rathjen came in 1870 as the first resident pastor and school teacher.
In 1873 the congregation joined the Ev. Lutheran Synod of Missouri.
The present teacher's home at 148 N. Hale st., was built for a parsonage in 1898. It cost $1,300. Services were held in German until after the turn of the century when English services were held the first of every month. Since 1943 services have been held in English every Sunday.
The present church building was built on the new corner location in 1914 and the old church was moved to a farm on Algonquin Rd. The house on the corner, was moved to the next lot west and re- modeled into the parsonage being used today. The present 2 story brick school was built in 1926 and the former school building was sold and moved to 350 W. Johnson. Anticipating future expansion, the west half of the block occupied by the church, school and parsonage, was purchased in 1946.
The church building across the street north, for- merly owned by the Salem Ev. congregation, was purchased in 1955 to be used as a youth center by the Walther League.
A school expansion committee has completed plans for a proposed new school building. The very active Ladies Aid celebrated their 50th anniversary in 1952.
The church has been served by the following pastors: Rev. Rathjen, Rev. A. Pohl, Rev. Wm. Graff, Rev. Adolph Pfotenhauer, 1887-94; Rev. J. Droegemueller, 1895-1910; Rev. Daniel Poellot, 1910- 1940; Rev. W. C. Koester, assisted by Rev. Ernest Runge, 1940-1951; Rev. Hilmar Th. Rosenberg, 1951 -. Membership is 1540. * *

ST. PAUL EVANGELICAL & REFORMED CHURCH
Twenty-five years after the founding of St. John's Church at Plum Grove, many of the members of that congregation had moved to the busy com- munity of Palatine. In order to serve them and newcomers to the village from other congregations, Pastor Krueger of Plum Grove began mission work
40
in Palatine in 1870. Services were held bi-monthly in the old Masonic Hall (southwest corner Wilson and Bothwell). The following year the congrega- tion was organized and named the German United Evangelical St. Paul's Congregation.
The charter members were: Gerhard Horst- mann, Friedrick Langhorst, Heinrick Blume, Wil- helm Hupe, Wilhelm Jahnke, George Schweitzer, Heinrick Bicknase and A. Drozkowski.
Fifty years later two of these men, Mr. Horst- mann and Mr. Langhorst, were present at the Gold- en Jubilee of the Church.
The first church building was dedicated October 1872 and a parsonage was purchased. A schoolhouse was built in 1888 and was used as a school and later for Sunday School and meetings, until 1925, when it was sold and converted to a residence on Route 53. The parsonage was partially destroyed by fire in 1897 and was replaced with a new building the same year.
The present brick church was dedicated in 1925 and an extensive new unit is being added to the north of the church building this year (1955). Since 1940 the church has been called St. Paul's Evan- gelical and Reformed Church. It has 550 members.
Pastors include: Rev Jacob Furrer, 1872-73; Rev. Krumm, 1874-78; Rev. F. W. Rodenberg, 1878- 82; Rev. J. A. F. Harder, 1895-98; Rev. J. C. Hoff- meister, 1898-1912; Rev. L. F. Kurz, 1912-16; Rev. Theo. Bierbaum, 1916-21; Rev. J. C. Voeks, 1921-39; Rev. W. F. Huebner, 1940-44; Rev. G. G. Gumm, 1945 --.

ST. THERESA CATHOLIC CHURCH
On April 6, 1930, Palatine Catholics attended their first mass on the second floor of the old vil- lage hall with Father John T. Wagener of St. James, Arlington Heights, officiating.
Catholics in Palatine had previously journeyed to neighboring towns to worship. Through the aid and encouragement of Father Peter Gall of Arling- ton Heights, plans for the mission church were formed in the decade following the first World War.
Father George Stier followed Father Wagener, and funds were directed toward a building program. This was realized in November 1941 when St. The- resa Church was formally dedicated at the new site on Wood St. Father William L. Murray came to serve the parish in that year followed in 1949 by Father Arthur O'Brien.
A new school was ready for use in September 1954 on North Benton St. and the school chapel was dedicated the following Easter. Membership is 700.
NORTHWEST SUBURBS BIBLE CHURCH
Prior to the organization of the Northwest Sub- urbs Bible Church February 20, 1946, services for this new congregation were held in the village hall and later the I.O.O.F. Hall. The new brick building on the Wood St. site was dedicated September 19, 1949. The church has 125 members and has been served by the following pastors: Rev. Floyd Gep- hart, Dr. Leonard Webster, Dr. H. Wilbert Norton, and Rev. Emil C. Wittig.
ST. PHILIPS EPISCOPAL CHURCH
The mission of St. Philip was formally establish- ed on June 19, 1947, and its first services were held in the Masonic Temple, Plum Grove and Chicago. Soon the present property, four lots at Wood and Schubert, was purchased and plans were drawn for a first-unit frame structure.
The first service was held in the new building on March 6, 1949, and two months later St. Philip's was admitted as a parish. Rev. Rob Roy Hardin was called as the first rector followed by Rev. Michael Ray Becker and Rev. Sheldon B. Foote. The church has 230 members.
* *
CHRIST EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH
With the increased growth of Palatine as a sub- urban community, many residents felt the lack of a church from the National Lutheran Council. Upon application to the council the American Lutheran Church was able to organize a mission in June, 1953.
First meetings of the mission church were held in the cafeteria of the Oak Street School. The con- gregation ceased to be mission at the beginning of 1955 when it became self-supporting.
Rev. John E. Keller came in 1954 to be the first resident pastor for the congregation which has grown to nearly 300 members.
The new building was formally dedicated June 12, 1955.

CHAPTER IV THEY ANSWERED THEIR COUNTRY'S CALL
CIVIL WAR ENLISTMENTS
Co. E-113th Regiment was enlisted in the old Palatine M. E. Church where 37 volunteered Aug. 11, 1862, and left Palatine for Chicago. Nearly all the surrounding territory turned out to bid them fare- well. Their captain, Mr. Sutherland, was presented with a sword, the gift of the Palatine ladies.
A window in the Methodist church commemor- ates the organization by Mason Sutherland, captain, of the men into Co. E in the 113th Regiment of the Illinois Infantry Volunteers, August 11, 1862. The church in which this organization meeting was held has been replaced by the present structure, but was then also located at Wood and Plum Grove.
Judge Bradwell was active in organizing the Company, which was known as the Bradwell guard. The Company was part of the 4th Board of Trade Reg., comprised of men from Kankakee, Iroquois, Cook and Lake Counties.

PALATINE MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION
Palatine Memorial Association has kept alive the observance of Memorial Day down through the years. Memorial Day was probably properly ob- served from the adoption of that day by the U. S. government, but the earliest record of minutes of the association is dated May 1901, when a constitu- tion was adopted.
Article II reads: "The objects of this associa- tion are to renew and keep alive the tender memor- ies of the brave men whose courage and sacrifice of life gave us the heritage of liberty and perpetual national unity and by fitting ceremonies bear tribute to their sacred and honored memories upon each re- curring Memorial Day."
The founders and attendants at the early yearly meetings include A. R. Baldwin, W. L. Hicks, Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Heise, Mr. and Mrs. Julian, Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Arps, Mrs. H. C. Matthei, and Mrs. Lily Schierding.
Sutherland Corps No. 89, W.R.C., was the main- stay of the association many years, its members serving on its numerous committees.

ORIGINAL KUEBLER - HUENNERBERG HOTEL
The above hotel, tavern, public hall and horse stable was located on the southside of Wilson street, west of Bothwell. An attempt was made at one time to operate it as a temperance hotel. The hotel which included a multiple of sleeping rooms on the sec- ond floor was filled most of the time, although the only heat in the building was in the tavern, the hotel parlor and dining room, which occupied the center of the above building.
Table setting was family style enjoyed by traveling salesmen, telephone linesmen and others. A large stove in the tavern heated a copper tank which made possible heat- ed drinks for the farmers who flocked in there on cold mornings. The hall at the left, above the stable, was the only dance floor in town after the closing of Batterman hall, following the Iroquois fire. It was also the meeting place of political groups, the Com- mercial Club, M. W. A. and other organizations.
The hall and stable were removed several years ago. The west part of the building has been used as an ice cream parlor, doctor's office, restaurant and barber shop.

600 Palatine Men and Women Served Their Country in World War II
The Centennial Committee is indebted to "With Uncle Sam" a department appear- ing in Paddock Publications during World War II for the following names of service men and women participating in that conflict. Following the publication of the tentative list, it was only necessary to add 17 names. Palatine was represented in World War II by 600 men and women.
