In 1873 this society belonged to Dayton Station. In 1874-75, to Richmond; 1876-77, to Montgomery Circuit; 1878-79, to Richmond Mission again. In the winter of 1878 a union revival was held here with the U. B.'s, with Rev. Huddlc, T'. B. pastor, and Geo. Roederer, our pastor, then living in Richmond. This meeting was a great success. Our membership increased considerably and they concluded to build a church of their own. The members met on a February day in 1879 at Jacob Gouch's, where a subscription list for this purpose was started. resulting in $500.00 secured. At this time there were a few members at New Hope, S. W. from the Wares Chapel, who, not being able to build a church of their own, were with the Scheyhing Class, incorporated here. The charter mem- bers here were: Julia and Adaline Scheyhing; Julia Ware, Jr .; Mary and Alice Ware; Martha and Clara Richards; Jacob and Sarah Holtzinger; Francis L. Hendrickson; Francis E. Pierson; Levi H. Happner; J. C. Nyott; Lydia Picr- son; Barbara Miller; Wm. C. Bunger; Conrad and Sarah Schafer; Anna House; Levi and Rachel Petre; and Kath. Schafer. The church here was dedicated September 14, 1879, by Bishop T. Bowman; C. C. Baumgartner, P. E. In 1880- 81 it belonged to Montgomery Circuit, J. Miller, pastor; 1882, to E. German-

WASHINGTON, FULTON CO., INDIANA
This society was organized by Henry Prechtel in 1880 from a part of the Pleasant Schoolhouse appointment, located near the south shore of Maxincuckee Lake when it disbanded, part of it uniting with the Zechiel Society a few miles west, and the eastern part, consisting of 16 members, became the Washington Society, namely: J. C. Zachman and wife; Debolt Kline, Sr., and wife; Geo. Kline and wife; Daniel Frey and wife; John Snyder and wife; Wash. Over- meyer and wife; Theo Kline and wife; J. L. Scheuermann and wife; Debolt Kline, Jr., and wife; and Mary Kreig. Zachman was the first class-leader.
They first worshipped in a schoolhouse from 1881-86 near the church. Here Prechtel held a revival in 1881 which proved a success. In 1886 our people helped to build the M. P. Church, one mile east from where our church stands, for the privilege of worshipping here, and holding English services. For pas- tors see Twin Lake up to 1899, and then Culver up to 1913 when it became a part of Culver and Hibbard Circuit. In 1890 J. M. Dustman began preparation for an Evangelical Church. The union affair did not work well. Our people grew into a safe majority and the Union Sunday School was largely in their hands. Jealonsy arose and our people found it expedient to withdraw in 1891, and built a church. H. E. Overmeyer, pastor, called a society meeting and clected a board of trustees, namely: Wm. Curtis, Pres .; Wm. Klein, Sec .- Treas .; Wash. Overmeyer. These with J. L. Zachman and A. Savage were made the building committee. The church is 28x 44 feet. The cost of the church, ex- clusive of lot and donated work, was $1,350.00. D. Martz, P. E., dedicated it February 21, 1892. $308.00 was raised on this day, which more than covered the debt. The name Culver Circuit was changed to Hibbard in 1917, due to the fact that the parsonage was now at Hibbard. A Y. P. A. was organized on March 14, 1895, with 46 members. First president was Charles Martz. For quite a while good work was done by this organization. It also had a wide- awake W. M. S. for some time. By deaths and removals both organizations lost ort. For years this was a strong and influential society.

INDIANA CONFERENCE
WATERFORD, ELKHART CO., INDIANA
This class was three miles south of Goshen. A. B. Schafer, P. E., with Win. Fichte, the pastor, came to this place to start a special meeting on October 24. 1846, at the home of. Bro. Walmer and continued over Sunday. Soon after reach- ing this place they were surprised by the arrival of Bishop J. Seybert. He was then quite ill and feeble. Nevertheless he preached on Sunday evening, al- though he could hardly be heard, yet his words were full of Spirit and power. This evidences that he was ready to sacrifice himself, to "burn out" for the Church of Jesus Christ. This class never developed.
WATERLOO, INDIANA
Waterloo was a part of the old DeKalb Mission which was in 1844, a part of Ft. Wayne Mission, of the Illinois Conference. In 1845 this mission was sub)- divided into Elkhart Circuit and St. Marys Mission, the latter including this place. For pastors up to 1852 see under St. Marys. At this time DeKalb Mis- sion was formed, embracing Noble, LaGrange, Steuben and DeKalb Counties in Indiana; and Williams and Defiance Counties in Ohio. From lack of one man this mission was left to be supplied. Joseph Fisher and B. Ruh of Elkhart Cir- cuits were placed in charge of the western part of this mission, and A. Nicolai and Fr. Schuerman of St. Marys of the south and eastern part. See under De- Kalb Mission.
In 1867 Waterloo Society was organized by M. Krueger, P. E. of Elkhart District, of such members as had moved here. E. L. Kiplinger was made pastor. In 1868, A. Parker and Geo. Wales; 1869-70, D. S. Oakes and J. Wales, and H. E. Overmeyer, assistants successively. 1871, E. L. Kiplinger and E. T. Hoch- stetler; 1872-73, R. Riegel and E. Einsel. The second year this field was divided into Kendallville and Waterloo Circuits but served together. The latter em- braced Waterloo, Raminger, Turkey Creek, County Line, Trinity or Reinoehl's, Salem, west of Edon, Ohio, Stroh's and Sedan.
In 1875-86, A. Geist built the first frame church, a short distance S. W. of the town. On September 16, 1877, Bishop R. Dubs dedicated the church as "St. Paul's" Church. The size was 36 x 58 feet. The cost of the building was $3.800.00. In 1877-78, Geo. Freehafer; '79-80, C. C. Beyrer. Savilla Kring, sister to Mrs. Beyrer, conducted a gracious revival here in the winter of 1881, resulting in 35 conversions and 31 accessions. The society was then flourishing. 1881- 83, A. R. Shafer. The town of Waterloo at this time enjoyed prosperity, having a number of good factories. Some of these a few years later moved out, and nearly depopulated the place. In 1882 the Annual Conference session was held here. 1884-85, J. E. Stoops; '86, I. B. Fisher; '87, W. H. Brightmire; '88-90, W. H. Mygrant. In 1889 M. succeeded in having the church moved into town to its present site, and made some necessary improvements upon it, and had it rededicated. The new parsonage also was now located here, just north of the
244
HISTORICAL SKETCHES
church, which since has undergone several remodellings. 1891, W. S. Tracy; '92. J. F. Bockman; '93, P. L. Browns; '94-95, C. M. Pierce; '96-98, D. E. Zechiel; '99-00, C. H. Burgener; '01, J. M. Smith; '02-03, F. B. Walmer; '04, W. H. My- grant; '05-06, W. H. Freshley; '07, D. O. Wise; '08-09, G. F. Zuber; '10-12, P. 1 .. Browns; '13-15, A. Geist; '16-21, J. M. Kistler; '22-23, W. I. Weyant. Waterloo belonged to St. Joseph District up to 1864, then to Elkhart up to 1891; then to Ft. Wayne up to 1894; then to Kendallville up to 1898 and since to Ft. Wayne.
WATERLOO, COUNTY LINE
This class derived its name from being located on the county line between DeKalb and Steuben Counties, two miles west of Hudson, Indiana. It was or- ganized in 1864 by J. Kronmiller. This year a frame church was built here and dedicated. Many good meetings were held. Probably one of the best by D. E. Zechiel which closed in 1896 with 21 saved and 16 accessions. The church was repaired and remodelled in 1900 by C. H. Burgener, following a glorious re-, vival in 1899. A tower and bell was added, and it received new siding, new windows, pews and a new roof, all at a cost of $710.00. The society has about kept its own for many years. This society produced one local preacher. Gco. Fredrick. List of preachers, see Waterloo.
WATERLOO, PLEASANT HILL
Preaching in this neighborhood by our preachers commenced in David R.cinoehl's home, April 5, 1859. The meeting was protracted and resulted in 16 conversions. It was the east class of the Trinity Society in Lagrange Co. A camp-meeting was held on R.'s farm, August 8, 1861, about seven to eight miles N. W. of Waterloo. August, 1867, M. W. Steffey reported a class seven miles north of Corunna, Indiana, where a small church was dedicated, likely by him- self, costing $1,375.00. $761.00 had to be raised at this time. Nothing much was found of this place since then. It was probably a union church.
When J. E. Stoops was pastor on Waterloo Charge in 1884, he held a meeting here in November in a schoolhouse, one mile north of the present Pleasant Hill Church. This was a new appointment. Only one family, Solomon Reinoehl's, lived here who were members of the Ev. Association. The meeting resulted in 14 conversions, among them Rev. H. H. Reinoehl, wife and son Charles. Then a class of 17 members was organized with Henry H. Reinoeh! as class-leader. Pastor Stoops related this: "When the meeting was in progress he went to H. H. R. who was a carpenter and skeptically inclined, and asked him to make two 'mourner's-benches' for the meeting, believing that he would need them. R. with a smile consented to make them good and strong, for he knew well the use of altars among the 'Albrights' as our people were commonly called. After a few days S. went over to Mr. R. for his benches. He was in- formed that they were done, and R. said in delivering them to S., 'These are
245
INDIANA CONFERENCE
made good and strong. They will stand all the pounding your penitents can give them'. He generously carried one over to the schoolhouse for him, while S. carried the other. A few nights later, not only his wife and son were at the altar as penitents, but R. himself in great penitence and agony of soul was there. After a hard struggle he was happily converted at the 'monrner's-bench' made by himself."
The need of a church was now felt. A brick church was then built near Sol. Reinoehl's farm, about four miles north of Corunna, Indiana. It was dedicated November 8, 1885, by Bishop T. Bowman as the "Pleasant Hill Church". For a number of years an interesting society and Sunday School was maintained here. But gradually the people moved away, so that the place had to be aban- doned and the church was sold with the contents in 1918 for $150.00, the pro- ceeds flowing into the Conference Treasury.
WEAVER'S CLASS
This class was located about four miles S. E. of Elkhart and in 1867 was added to Elkhart Mission. After this it was placed hither and thither to Elkhart Circuit and Elkhart Mission, and finally merged with Dunlaps Society.
WEST BUFFALO, WILLIAMS CO., OHIO
This society was located about six miles S. E. of Montpelier, Ohio. A meeting was held at Herman's, January, 1860, resulting in a spiritual awakening and strengthening of believers. It was one of the 20 appointments on DeKalb Circuit in 1858 that required 200 miles of travel to make one round. In 1864 it belonged to Defiance; '65, to DeKalb; '66, to Defiance. In 1870 the members here were: Levi and Lydia Deal and children Jonas, Catherine, Samuel, John, Caroline, Elias, Margaret, and Charles; Jacob Gall; Jonas and Sarah Deatz; Jacob and Eliza Frock; Samuel Deatz; Emanuel and Marg. Steffey; Susan, Rebecca, and Caroline Gipe. The time of abandonment is not found, but it was after 1880 when it belonged to Edgerton Circuit.
WESTPHALEN, ILLINOIS
This society was near Watson, Illinois. It belonged to Vandalia Mission in 1860, and was served by M. Klaiber and Fr. Launer. It was soon abandoned.
WEST SALEM, EDWARDS CO., ILLINOIS
In 1854 Peter Burgener of Olney Charge received a hearty invitation to come to West Salem to preach. The invitation came from Jos. Barth who lived here. He was formerly a member of the M. E. Church in St. Louis, Mo. In August, 1854, Burgener delivered his first sermon in Barth's cooper-shop to a large and attentive andience. A few weeks later he again preached here and organized a society with the following members: Jos. Barth and wife, Geo. and Michael Koehler. West Salem now became a regular appointment on Olney
246
HISTORICAL SKETCHES
Charge. June, 1855, B. Ruh became pastor of Olney Charge, including this place. The first protracted meeting held here was in May, 1856, in the home of John A. Altner. Wm. Bockman of Mt. Carmel assisted B. Ruh in this meeting. There were conversions and five accessions. A reorganization of the class now took place with John E. Altner as class-leader. September, 1858, this society was added to Mt. Carmel Circuit. The work prospered, and this year was re- corded as a "remarkable one" for this class.
July, 1858, John Fuchs, D. Bartholomew, and C. Kohlmeier held a ten-day meeting here at which the attendance grew to such proportions that the old cooper-shop had to be abandoned. A vacant store was rented from D. Hedrick where the meeting continued. Many were converted and united with the church. Witnesses declared that they never before saw the power of God and His Spirit
Y

so visibly demonstrated as at this meeting. In the fall another meeting was held, resulting in conversions and accessions. This meeting was held in Henry Busifink's furniture store. Most of the new members came from the German Moravian Church. Rev. Fuchs was denounced as a devil. Opposition became strong, but the work went on. In December, 1859, at a Q. Conference, both West Salem and Lancaster wanted a parsonage. It was decided that the society which paid two-thirds of the cost should have it. A number of the West Salem
247
INDIANA CONFERENCE
men pledged $40.00 each and won out. In 1860 a brick parsonage 27 x 28 feet and a story and a half high was built at a cost of $800.00, and declared to be the best one on the district, if not in the Conference.
In 1861 a religious awakening among the young folks took place under Wm. Wesseler. After the Civil War broke ont many young men felt prompted by a patriotic spirit to take up arms in defense of the Union. While in service, many belonged to the same companies, and maintained their religious experience and returned as earnest Christians. In 1863-65, H. L. Fisher and A. Parker served. From 1865-67 this society belonged to Mt. Carmel Circuit. In 1868 West Salem Circuit was re-established with J. Hoffman, pastor. This circuit then embraced WV. Salem, Witti, Little Wabash, Lancaster, Timber Class. For pastors see Volume I. The first English preaching by Evangelical preachers in Edwards County was by M. F. Finkbeiner in 1879. In '15-16, E. M. Kerlin served. Dur- ing his administration the church was raised and repainted, a basement put un- der it at a cost of $600.00, and promptly paid for. The Ladies' Aid Society did much to accomplish this. '17-18, I. G. Roederer; '19-23, J. H. McRae.
In 1859 a lot was bought for $13.00 and a cemetery ground was donated them. In 1860 the first church was built. In 1913 the new frame parsonage was built, commodious and modern, at a cost of about $3,000.00. The Ladies' Aid Society fitted out a room in the new parsonage, special for the presiding elders and visiting ministers. In 1918 they installed electric lights. Many were the victories achieved in this society for the Lord and the church.
WEST SALEM, WITTI CLASS
In 1858, after a victorious meeting in West Salem, the pastors in charge there also held a meeting four miles north of W. Salem at the home of Chris- tian Witti. The power of God was greatly manifested in the salvation of many souls who then joined the Ev. Association. A society was organized. A church was needed, but the people were poor. At a called meeting it was agreed that each male member should give $5.00 in cash and 12 days of labor for the erection of a church. This was done in 1859, and the church was dedicated in October, by M. W: Steffey, P. E. The church (frame) was 26 x 40 feet, and cost in money $700.00. This gave new interest in church work. A Sunday School was now organized. Later this society, however, had to be abandoned.
WILLSHIRE, OHIO
As early as 1844 there was a class near Willshire, Ohio. 1845-46 Wm. Kolb reported spiritual apathy in the vicinity. Daniel Steller lived here. After some years the class ceased to function.
WINAMAC, INDIANA
In 1890 J. Wales sought entrance into this county seat. He served it with Logansport, but nothing substantial was accomplished. We have preached all
248
HISTORICAL SKETCHES
around this place in carlier years. Members moved here but were never or- ganized into a class.
WINCHESTER, INDIANA
Mrs. J. C. Meier of Winchester reported that Chr. Habbich, Geo. Hay and wife, Ph. Schmidt and wife, Ph. Ulrich and wife, and Geo. G. Keller and wife were of the earliest members, probably charter members in this city. There probably was no organization before 1856. The Habbich's came from Pennsyl- vania. Geo. Keller was converted at Smithfield camp-meeting, held by A. B. Schafer, P. E., and C. Glaus, P. E. Jacob Keiper and his colleagues preached here in private homes in 1849. Records show that our missionaries preached here in 1845. The services were in German until about 1891. A church 30 x 40 was built in 1864, and dedicated April, 1865, by Jos. Fisher, P. E. J. Hoffman was pastor.
Winchester Mission was formed in 1873 and embraced this place, New Hope, Glucks, Richmond and Emmettsville. Carl Schamo was pastor. He had 10 conversions here in the winter of 1873. In 1874 it belonged to Greenville Circuit. September, 1875, E. R. Troyer reported 50 members here. In 1877 it belonged to E. Germantown Circuit. In 1880 Winchester and Emmettsville formed Winchester Mission, J. H. Stedcke, pastor. 1881-82, Fr. Lanner; '83-85, J. Miller with E. E. Meyers, third year; '86-87, G. Schmoll and H. E. Neff, sec- ond year; '88, D. D. Spangler; '89-90, L. J. Ehrhardt; '91-92, Geo. Speicher; '93- 94, C. W. Spangler; '95, D. B. Koenig. He had a revival. Many young people came into the church and were organized into a Y. P. A. with 29 members. 1896, P. L. Browns; '97, M. Krueger. In 1898 it was added to Ft. Recovery Charge. The field was abandoned about this time. The German language was too long maintained to gain substantial English members. We were known as the little German Church.
WITMER, OHIO
In 1856 this appointment was a part of Miami Circuit in Ohio, not far from Greenville. J. Keiper and P. Goetz, pastors. A few families lived here, named Witmer and Gilbert. This class later was merged with another.
WOLF CREEK, OHIO
This appointment was near Trotwood, Montgomery Co., Ohio. It belonged to Dayton Station until 1867 when it was added to Montgomery . Circuit. In 1873 a brick church was bought. At a revival 20 persons were saved. E. Boh- lander came from this class. February, 1875, J. Hoffman held a several-week meeting here without apparent success, and thought of closing. On retiring one night, this concerned him greatly. He prayed for light, asking God to reveal His will to him in a dream. That night he dreamed that he stood by the stream fishing. First he caught little fish, then he fished for large ones. The big one
249
INDIANA CONFERENCE
that he caught required such effort to land him that he awoke. He believed this a divine revelation that he should continue. He did, and had 16 young and older persons as converts. This produced great joy. Later the society gradu- ally died out. In 1893 the Conference granted the trustees the right to sell the church which was reported sold in 1895.
WOLF-CREEK, ILLINOIS
This class is five miles S. W. of Stewardson, Illinois. It was organized in 1866 by M. Klaiber. It was served by the same pastors as Prairie Class. A small frame church was built in 1879. This class never developed strong, but maintained itself by small additions from time to time. A small Sunday School existed here from the beginning. Under A. W. Feller the church was repaired It always belonged with Prairie Class. Their general history, therefore is identi- cal. In 1922 it was added to Brownstown Circuit.
WOODINGTON, OHIO
E. R. Troyer identified this class as the Schweitzer Class, north of Green- ville, which he served in 1873. It was near Union City, Indiana. It was an English class, and was one of the early appointments and was quite strong at one time. Just why it ceased to exist is not known.
WOODLAND, INDIANA
This society was located about three to four miles S. E. of the Coal-Bush Church in St. Joseph Co. It was a part of the Mishawaka Circuit for years. M. Speck reported that the little town was a very wicked place. There was a church here, but it was ordered to be sold September, 1873. The class died out by deaths and removals.
WOODRUFF, OR WRIGHT'S CORNER, INDIANA
This society lies four miles N. E. from Wolcottville, Indiana. In 1867 the first regular preaching of our preachers was done here by S. Kiplinger and Jacob Troyer. They preached in a schoolhouse, then held a revival in St. Johns Lutheran Church, about one mile west of the Woodruff Church, resulting in 40 conversions and the organization of a class of 26 members. In 1868 A. Parker and G. W. Wales of DeKalb Circuit reported a memorable quarterly meeting, which was followed by a protracted evangelistic meeting, resulting in 56 conver- sions and many accessions. In 1870 the first church was built and dedicated by Bishop J. J. Esher, December 4th, D. S. Oakes, pastor. For many years this society was locally called "Wright's Corner"; later a little town developed here. In 1876 Geo. Freehafer held a three-week revival. Everything dragged un- promisingly, but God's Spirit prevailed. Sinners trembled and in deep sorrow repented, and the meeting ended with 18 conversions and accessions, and the
250
HISTORICAL SKETCHES
membership was greatly revived. One brother, holding to the pastor's hand joyously exclaimed, "Oh, brother, I never felt so in my life before." The final success of this meeting was attributed to the pastor's "house to house" visits, talking to the people about their salvation and praying with them. In so doing F. said, "My heart so warmed up, that I scarcely knew what to do with myself, and preaching became a joy, and was effective." In Feb., 1883, J. Wales held a revival here which also was a glorious visitation of God's presence, and ended with many saved and 26 accessions. In 1888 there were 13 saved here and 14 accessions.
In 1896-97, the church was remodelled in part, and re-dedicated by Editor S. P. Spreng. Under H. F. Neff, Rochester lights were installed and the church repainted and partly recarpeted. In 1902-03, J. W. Metzner served. He organ- ized a Ladies' Aid Society. In October, 1913, L. Newman, then Conference evangelist, held a revival, resulting in 19 conversions. In 1915 the society gave their church a thorough remodelling, namely: raised it and put a new foundation under it, constructed a basement for Sunday School class work, installed a furnace, built a tower with vestibule on the S. E. corner, laid a new floor, built an alcove and choir loft, installed circular pews, and set art-glass windows. The cost was about $2,600.00. The church was rededicated by Bishop T. Bowman September 12, 1915. Under Zuher the church was redecorated. Same pastors served here as at Wolcottville.
WOLCOTTVILLE, INDIANA
In Jos. Fisher's class-book, handed to his successor, J. Keiper, 1853. we have the fact that there was a class here in 1852, called "Newport". Members then were: Michael and Rebecca Bowers; Samuel and Hannah Getig; Joseph and Mary Eshelman; Geo. and Rebecca Echanour; Samuel and Susan Raber; Abra- ham, Julia and Levi Rondsong; John and Eliza Thompson; Barbara Pontius; and Susan Newman. Preaching was held in Bower's home. This was then the west end of DeKalb Circuit, but from lack of men, it was served by Jos. Fisher of Elkhart Circuit. For years this society was known as "Dutch Street" Society. It was located one mile S. E. of Wolcottville, and named after the "Pennsylvania Dutch" that lived here. For ministers who served here up to 1872 see DeKalb Circuit. In 1872 DeKalb Circuit was divided into Waterloo and Kendallville Circuits. This class remained with the latter field, which however, this year and 1873 was served from Waterloo by R. Riegel and E. Einsel. In 1874 M. Krueger served; '75-76, Geo. Freehafer; '77-78, C. C. Beyrer; '79-81, D. S. Oakes; '82-83. J. Wales and D. Hoover the second year; '84, J. M. Dustman and W. H. Bright- mire; '85-86, S. S. Albert. In 1887 Kendallville Circuit was divided, the northern part becoming Wolcottville Circuit, served by H. E. Overmeyer, two years. In 1889 J. E. Stoops served; '90-91, H. E. Neff. A debt of $900.00 on parsonage was nearly paid. 1892-93, T. Carroll; '94-96, S. Hofferbert; '97, H. H. Reinoehil;
