Zion's Church of Buffalo Lake. (By Rev. R. A. Schmidt.) The German Evangelical Lutheran Zion's church of Buffalo Lake was organized in the public school house of that village January 1, 1886, by Rev. Jacob Frey, pastor of the Evangelical Lu- theran church in Moltke township, Sibley county, Minnesota. The charter members who signed the first constitution were Carl Steglich, John C. Riebe, William Gerber, Carl Haman, William Matzdorf, H. J. Blom- endahl, William Rnsch, William Lueck, Edward Wohlfarth, Ferdinand Knopke, Wilhelm Knopke, Herman Schmalz, Ulrich Buehler, Ida Gruen, Friedrich Hilsberg, Friedrich Schwarz, Paul Totz. William Goebel, Friedrich Hoefs, Friedrich Schoen- emann, Conrad Blomendahl and Edward Thieling. Of these twenty-two charter members only two, namely, Friedrich Schwartz, who is an old veteran soldier eighty-seven years old, and Friedrich Hils- berg, are at present writing still members of the congregation. All the others have either died or moved away to other loca- tions. The first meetings were held in the public school house. In 1891 a church building was erected on Main street and known as the Evangelical Lutheran Zion's church. The following pastors took part in the dedication exercises: Rev. George Dumer, of Brownton, Minn., and Rev. E. Hermann, of Round Grove, Minn. The church is a stately edifice and reflects great credit on those few members who built it. For a short time the congregation was served by Rev. Malchow and by Rev. J. W. Wuebben, of Round Grove. In the fall of 1892 E. Knorr, a candidate of theology

from the Luther Seminary at St. Paul was called and duly installed as pastor of the congregation. Rev. E. Knorr was a very able and ambitious man and served the congregation with much zeal and self-sac- rifice. Under his pastorate the member- ship grew steadily, the debts of the church were paid off a handsome parsonage built. a new pipe organ of the firm Vogelpohl & Spaith, of New Uhn, Minn., was installed, a cemetery purchased and other improve- ments were made. He died March 24, 1903. much mourned by his congregation.

April 1, 1903, the present incumbent, Rev. R. A. Schmidt, of Holloway, Swift county, Minn., was called as pastor of the congre- gation, which has continued to prosper. Two small affiliated congregations, one at Martinsburg, the other at Grafton, discon- tinued the services in their respective places of worship and joined the main con- gregation in a body. A parish school house has been built and all the buildings of the congregation are in good condition. The congregation at present consists of ninety voting members, fifteen contributing mem- bers, 320 communicants and 496 souls. The value of the church property is ahout $10,000. The present officers of the con- gregation are J. C. Nagel, president : Peter Ulrich, secretary ; Gottlieb Quast, Gustav Koebnick, Herman Mueller, elders; and John Qnast, William Ulrich, Fred Henske, trustees. The congregation is affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Joint Synod of Ohio and other states.

When young Mr. Albrecht assumed charge of the work in Fairfax the affairs of the church were not in the most flourishing condition. He soon demonstrated his worth as a pastor and during the past few years he has received numerous calls to larger fields of endeavor but the local people re- fuse to part with him. Although primarily an orator in the German language Rev. Al- brecht's English discourses are very in- structive and entertaining. His geniality and sterling character have won for him a host of friends outside the confines of his own congregation. Rev. Albrecht was the first resident pastor of his church. He has demonstrated that he has capacity for busi- ness as the material affairs of his church have prospered splendidly under his man- agement. A handsome new parsonage was erected in 1905. A tract of 40 acres of land for cemetery purposes has also been purchased during the past few years.

In 1900 Rev. Albrecht established a pa- rochial school which he taught himself for a number of years, but for the past four years the school has been conducted by a special teacher. Prof. H. G. Meyer was the teacher last year. Fifty-two pupils were enrolled during the year. Otto Boerneke, of Hutchinson, has been selected as prin- cipal of the school for 1912-13.

At the present time there are 103 fam- ilies connected with the church, with 440 members, 260 communicants and 62 voting members.

The present officers of the church are: Paul Albrecht, president; Carl Laub, secre- tary; William Kiehn, treasurer; board of trustees and deacons, John Albrecht, Henry Clobes, Louis Dickmeyer, William Kiehm and William Sommer. Organist, Meta Dickmeyer.

The church has the following auxiliary organizations: Ladies' aid, with a mem- bership of forty and the following officers: Mrs. Fred Leng. president: Mrs. Louis Wellner, vice-president; Mrs. H. Hinder- mann, secretary: Mrs. (. W. Heimann, treasurer: Mrs. Albert Briese, collector, and Mrs. F. Wendoff, reader.

The church has a mixed choir of 25 voices and a church orchestra of 14 num- bers, both directed by the pastor.

The early part of 1915 the German Lu- theran congregation in charge of the Rev. Im. F. Albrecht let the contract for a large and beautiful edifice. The building is erected near the parsonage and the paro- chial school of that congregation, and is one of the architectural ornaments of the town.

St. John's Church of Osceola. (By Rev. H. W. Krull.) The German Evangelical Lutheran St. John's church, of Osceola township, was organized June 7, 1892, at the home of Frank Voight, living in that township. It was organized by the Evan- gelical Lutheran Synod of Missouri, Ohio and other states. The first pastor was Rev. Carl Dreyer, who served the congregation

from his home at Geneva, Minn. The charter members were Henry J. Jungclaus, Henry Kahle, Karl Lehrke, August Ehren- berg, Frank Voight, John Homann, Gustav Wegner, Fred Alisch and Wilhelm Ehren- berg. During the first seven years the congregation held its meetings in the pub- lic school houses. In 1897 the congrega- tion joined the Evangelical Luther Joint Synod of Ohio and other states and dur- ing the summer of 1899 the first church, a modest little frame building, was erected, being dedicated in September of that year. Michael 'Grimm had presented the congre- gation with a two-acre tract of land upon which they erected the church and laid out the cemetery. During the summer of 1911 a fine large frame church building, equipped with modern fixtures, was built on the northeast corner of the northeast quarter of section 33. Osceola township. The cornerstone was laid April 30, and the church was dedicated August 20, 1911. The old church is now used for school pur- poses, affording ample room also for meet- ings and gatherings. From 1897 to 1902. during which time Rev. L. Kettner, of Brookfield township, this . county, served this congregation, it composed one parish with the congregation of Brookfield. Janu- ary 4, 1902, the congregation united into one parish with the German Evangelical Lutheran congregation at Bird Island. From that date until the fall of 1905, Rev. Jacob Dachsteine, of Bird Island, served the con- gregation. Rev. Rudolph Bergfeldt, of Hec- tor, served it for one year after that. All the Lutheran pastors of the neighborhood having left the congregation found itself again obliged to call Rev. L. Kettner, of Brookfield. With the aid of several theo- logical students of St. Paul, Minn., he served it for nearly three years. January 28. 1909, H. W. Krull, a student of theol- ogy at Luther Seminary, St. Paul, Minn., was called. He served it as a student until after his graduation. On Palm Sunday, April 5, 1909, he delivered his first sermon. but was not installed as regular pastor until July 11, 1909, after his graduation. He has served it regularly ever since, mak- ing his home at Hector, there being no par- sonage of this congregation. At present the congregation consists of forty families, among whom may be mentioned: H. J. Jungclaus, Henry Broderius, Albert E., Fred O. and Elzie A. Grimm, Alvin Enze- nauer and Henry Sing. The first elders and deacons were Henry J. Jungclaus, John Homann, August Ehrenberg and Au- gust Wegner. The present elders are H. J. Jungclaus, Albert E. Grimm, Carl Schroe- der and John Homann. The secretary is Frank Stamer.

Sunday of the month, Rev. Jakob Bauer coming thirty miles from Sanborn, where he had a congregation. He received $100 per year from the Morton congregation. The first members were Louis Zinne, I. M. Noak. Carl Walters, August Vogel, Christ Blume, Henry Blume, William L. Lussen- hof, William Schublen, Edward Homier. The first trustees were Louis Zinne, treas- urer; H. M. Noak, secretary, and Carl Wal- ters. In 188S the congregation built a church 21 by 46, with a steeple about eighty feet in height, the building costing $1,400. The contract for the erection of the church was awarded J. P. Thery and was built on the out-lot of Bueroys addi- tion of Morton. The church was dedicated June 28, 1888. the following pastors tak- ing part in the services: Rev. Bauer, of Morton, Rev. Ililpert, of Fairfax, and Prof. Sanders of Dr. Martin Luther College, of New Ulm, Minn. Besides the above men- tioned early members there were about five to seven families who attended church from time to time but were not members.

In 1893 Rev. J. Bauer resigned and Rev. G. Fisher, of Ft. Ridgely, Minn., was called as pastor. He made his home at Ft. Ridgely, where he had a congregation, and served Morton about every second or third Sun- day of the month. In 1896 Rev. G. Fisher accepted a call to Germany and Rev. Henry Schemperlen, of Ft. Ridgely, was called to serve the Morton congregation, coming every second or third Sunday of the month. The membership had increased slightly during these years. At that time the trustees were Louis Zinne, treasurer, Carl Walters, secretary, August Vogel.

In 1898 Rev. H. Schemperlen resigned and a call was extended to Rev. Henry Koch, who was pastor in Redwood Falls. Minn. He preached in Morton every sec- ond Sunday of the month and conducted school two days every week during the winter. In 1899 the church membership had increased to twenty-eight members and the congregation decided that they were strong enough to support a pastor of their own. The same year they decided to build a parsonage. The building committee consisted of John Orth, Carl Walters and Gotlieb Herman. Peter Gash was given the contract for the erection and comple- tion of the parsonage and the house was built on the out-lots one and two in Orth's addition to Morton, 32 by 32 feet, with a stone basement and constructed of solid brick. The same year a barn 14 by 22 feet was built, the total cost of the house and barn being $3,000. When the house was completed the congregation asked the pastor to come and live at Morton, which he did, and served Redwood Falls from Morton. In 1900 Rev. H. Koch received a call from Wisconsin and resigned from his pastorate at Morton and Redwood Falls. Rev. Paul Henderer, of Goodhue, Minn., was his successor and lived at Morton and served Redwood Falls every two weeks,

receiving a salary of $200 from Morton and $150 from Redwood Falls. In 1901 Rev. P. Henderer accepted a call to go to Good Thunder, Minn. By this time the member- ship of the congregation had decreased considerably, owing to the great expense involved in building the parsonage. About fourteen members withdrew from the con- gregation. The trustees at that time were Louis Zinne, treasurer August Lothart, sec- retary and August Vogel.

For about eight months Rev. Im. F. Al- brecht, of Fairfax, served the congregation every second Sunday. Then later in the same year, 1901. Morton and Redwood Falls congregations extended a call to Rev. John Paustian at Milwaukee, Wis. On ac- count of the small membership of Morton congregation they were unable to raise enough salary to have the pastor live there and he made his home at Redwood Falls, serving Morton every two weeks, and the parsonage was rented out to private fam- ilies. Rev. John Paustian conducted paro- chial school in Redwood Falls. In 1908 he accepted a call to Wisconsin and for about six months Rev. Im. Albrecht from Fairfax again served Morton. The same year Rev. Aldebert Schuller was called. He had just graduated from college and was the son of Prof. Schuller, of Dr. Martin Luther's College at New Ulm, Minn. lle made his home at Redwood Falls and con- ducted parochial school there. The trus- tees of 1910 were Louis Zinne. August Lothart, William Wetzel. The member- ship has since increased, tbere being now thirty-six families, and since the congre- gation has lately paid their last indebted- ness on the property they are planning to have the pastor live at Morton again. The trustees at present are Louis Zinne, treas- urer, Herman Lussenhop, secretary, and William Lothart. Amelia Walter is the organist and Carl Walter, janitor. Last year the congregation installed a new organ at a cost of $280. Every year they have a mission festival and the collections received at that time, amounting to from $30 to $75, are given to the missions.

The congregation is a member of the Minnesota Synod. Last year the congre- gation celebrated their twenty-fifth anni- versary and the following pastors were present at the services: Rev. Henry Kock, of Appleton, Wis .; Rev. John Paustian, of West Salem, Wis .; Rev. Jakob Bauer, of Morgan, Minn .: Rev. Im. Albrecht and choir of Fairfax, Minn .. and the present pastor. Rev. Adelbert Schuller. of Red- wood Falls.

St. John's Church of Renville. (By Rev. Rud. P. Korn.) The Evangelical Lutheran St. John's church, of Renville, Minn., was organized on the 13th day of June in the year 1886.

Dusterhoft, William Goetz, Fred Leistikow, Gust. Herrman and Albert Bratsch.

In the first years the Rev. G. Fisher, of Emmett, conducted services, the services being held in the old public school house, now serving as city hall. Two years later, however, the Renville congregation de- cided to become independent of the Em- met congregation, and together with the Winfield congregation extended a call to the Rev. P. Burkholz, of Stillwater, Minn. Rev. Burkholz accepted this call and en- tered upon his duties here in the spring of the year 1889. At this time plans were made for erecting a church and shortly after the arrival of the Rev. Burkholz the cornerstone for the church was laid. In the fall of the same year the building was ready for dedication. October 20, 1889, the church was dedicated. In the same year a parsonage and barn also were built.

After five years of active work in Ren- ville, the Rev. Burkholz was granted his dismissal, he having received a call to another congregation near Milwaukee, Wis. The Rev. Henry Albrecht, the nephew of the Rev. G. Albrecht, present pastor of the Emmet congregation, was then called. During his time here the parsonage was remodeled and enlarged to its present dimensions. In 1899 Rev. Al- brecht accepted a call to Litchfield, Minn.

The Rey. W. Ullrich was the next pas- tor. He came here in the spring of 1899, but stayed only a few years. In the year 1902 he left with his family for Germany to take charge of a congregation there.

The Rev. M. Schuetze was then called and took up his ministerial work here in the spring of 1903. In the following year the church building was moved from the corner to its present location. A large basement was dug south of its old location and the building moved on the same. This basement is used for school and assembly room. Besides the basement added to the church, a niche for the new altar was added to the rear of the church, a balcony built along the west end of the church, and a bell placed in the belfry. new entrance was also built. All these im- provements taken together made this edi- fice the spacious and neat appearing church as any in Renville.

The Rev. M. Schuetze was pastor of the Renville congregation almost ten years. Near the close of 1912 Rev. Schuetze re- ceived a call from the congregation at Ells- worth, Minn. After having extended a number of calls unsuccessfully, the congre-
