THE REFORMED CHURCH.

The early settlers, except a few from Virginia and North Carolina, were ncipally from eastern Pennsylvania, and in a religious point of view, m stly o the Reformed and the Lutheran Churches. Educational and religious avantages and privileges were then few. but these gradually improved as the population increased.

The history of the Reformed Church in this community dates back to anost the beginning of the present century, and the earliest congregations we generally organized in connection with the Lutherans. Among the ear- lust Reformed congregations organized in this region were the St. John's in 1)5, the Stettlers' in 1806, and that at Germantown in 1809, by the Rev. Jin Jacob La Rose. The Reformed Church at Miamisburg was organized of umbers belonging to the St. John's and Settlers' congregations, in the spring o 1820, and had no regular pastor for the first four years, but was served as a kd of missionary point. When organized it numbered only about ten or tolve members, all of whom are now dead. Zion Church, in Section 10, was o anized in 1820 and has remained a "Union Church " from its organization u to the present, both Reformed and Lutherans worshiping there.

The Reformed Church at Miamisburg was incorporated conjointly with t) Lutheran in 1822, and the first trustees elected in that year were Jacob Fim, Emanuel Gebhart and Frederick Gruendner.

In 1823, some efforts were made to build a house of worship, but without cess.

In 1818, the year of the first town plat of lots, a frame schoolhouse was b It and was used both for school purposes, and also as the first place of worship Il:own. The Reformed congregation worshiped in this house from 1820 to 133.

In 1830, a brick church edifice, thirty-eight by forty-six feet, with gal- I(7 and belfry, was erected, but for want of means it was not fully com- pted until in the spring of 1833, and was then dedicated with appropriate rigious services, May 12. The total cost of this structure was $3,200. The elgregation worshiped in this church until November, 1862.

During this time, the congregation was served by different pastors and nde more or less progress, being joint owners with the Lutherans of the piperty, and occupied the church on alternate Sundays.

THE EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH.

The first congregation of the above church, at Miamisburg, was organiz A. D. 1821, by Rev. John C. Dill, who came to Ohio at an early day, and : sisted in the organization of the first Lutheran Synod in this State in 1818. I had charge of the Miamisburg congregation from its organization unti! l' death, August 24, 1824. From this date until January 1, 1826, the congreg tion was without a regular pastor, when Rev. C. H. D. Heincke accepted a c: from it.

The place of worship was a frame building, located west of the old grav yard, adjoining the M. & E. Canal. It was built where the canal is located and was used jointly with the German Reformed Congregation, and was al used as a schoolhouse. When the canal was excavated, this house was mor. east a short distance. It is still in existence, and is located on South Locu street, near the large tobacco warehouse, now owned by S. Luventhal & Co.

Rev. C. H. D. Heincke was born in the Kingdom of Hanover Decemb 15, 1793, and emigrated to America in 1817, arriving in the city of Baltimo after a voyage of two months, and soon after came to Ohio. He had receive

liberal education in Germany, and devoted some time in the study of theolo- ". under the direction of Pastors Dechant, Dill and others.

In the fall of 1820, Mr. Heincke, having sustained a creditable examina- on before the Lutheran Synod of Ohio, he received authority to preach the ospel, being received into the ministry without a dissenting voice. He served 'e congregation from 1826 to July 10, 1859. a period of thirty-three years.

The present pastor of the congregation, Rev. C. Albrecht. a graduate of te Lutheran Theological Seminary, of Columbus, Ohio, took charge April 1. 60. Thus it will be seen that this congregation had but three pastors in a riod of fifty-four years.

In 1830, this congregation, jointly with the German Reformed Congrega- t.n, laid the corner-stone of a brick edifice, thirty-eight by forty-six feet, with ellery and belfry. This was completed and dedicated in 1833, and occupied to site of the present church.

The joint occupancy of this building was dissolved July 28, 1860.

The Stettler Church also ceased to have a Reformed congregation since 15. and has a society of about fifty Lutherans, under the charge of the Rev. 1 L. Ridenour.

Bowman, July 23 of that vr, who also organized this congregation. Charles Miller. Jacob Geiger al John Peiffer, being the first Trustees. The pastor has received about ty nty-five members since he organized the church, and the property is valued about $2,000. As previously stated. Mr. Bowman also has charge of Zion ar: St. John's congregations, but resides at Carrollton, where he has about fiy members.

UNITED BRETHREN.

This congregation is small. Their house of worship is located on the Cher of Main and Lock streets, Miamisburg. opposite the Catholic Church. T's organization dates back a number of years, but has no resident pastor, be- ir attended from Dayton.

THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.

A congregation of this church was organized at Miamisburg in 1834. The ministers who visited the town were the Revs. J. P. Durbin and A. Brown. I'd former was quite a young man, and had just entered the Methodist Semi- n'y; he became an eminent minister, and was the first " Missionary Secretary" of he Methodist Episcopal Church.

The Methodist Episcopal Church of Carrollton, was organized about 184€ at Alexandersville, and a lot was bought whereon to build a church, but the lc cation was subsequently changed to Carrollton, where, in the fall of 1847, lan was purchased from Horace and Perry Pease, upon which a building was erec; ed the following year. The first Trustees were James McGrew, John F. Prugl Isaiah Allen, Albert Marlatt and James Bowles. They have now a flourishin society, with the Rev. Mr. Dille in charge.

The Presbyterian Church of Carrollton erected a building in 1846, whic was dedicated by the Rev. William C. Anderson, of Dayton, and the church organized April 26, 1847. The building cost about $1,500, and the tir Trustees were Thomas Dodds, Julias S. Taylor, Jonathan K. Brice, Joseph I Dryden and Wilson Lamme.

E. Gowdy, the latter of whom is now in charge, with a membership of aboy forty, including many of the best citizens in this vicinity.

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.

For more than thirty-five years after the first settlement at " Hole's Station there were no members of this church who located permanently in this vici; ity, but in 1834 Michael Meyers and family settled at Miamisburg, and mi be called the pioneer Catholics of the present congregation. In 1840, M. Swisler and family came, and four years later Nicholas Meyer, a brother the former one mentioned, and who is yet a resident of Miamisburg. ] 1845, George Shoup and family located here, and in June, 1847, Georg Becker, with his family, concluded to make Miamisburg their home, and w followed in the fall of the same year by Peter Hart and family, and Jok Kuhn and family. In 1848 came Richard Wilhelm and Andrew Engebrau with their families ; also a few others whose names cannot now be remembere but as far as we can learn, all were Germans, whose faith was taught them the dear old Fatherland, and although a few may have grown lukewarm in tl faith and recreant to the church of their fathers, the vast majority have r mained firm and true to the teachings of Catholicism, and their love for t mother church has grown with the passing years. The first Catholics who st. tled in Miamisburg had to go to Dayton to attend divine worship, and it w not until 1851 that they had service in their own town, but in that year t Rev. Henry Damian Juncker, of Dayton, celebrated mass at the houses Peter Hart and Mr. Swisler. Father Juncker became Bishop of Alton, I.Il., 1857, and died in 1868. From this time the Catholics of Miamisburg h services at irregular intervals at the houses of members, Fathers Schiff a Menge being among those priests who visited this point. In the fall of 185 Michael P. Cassilly, a zealous Irish Catholic, of Cincinnati, donated to t Bishop a two-storied brick house and large lot, between Main and Old stree for the use of the Catholics of Miamisburg and vicinity. This building w

ted up for a church and pastor's residence, by Michael Meyers, at his own (pense, the chapel being in the second story, and was dedicated to the wor- tip of God, and the first mass celebrated in it by Father Juncker, in the fall 1852, receiving the name of " St. Michael's Church."

Different priests came from time to time to minister to the spiritual ants of the Catholics of Miamisburg, Father Mauclire, a native of France, king charge in 1861 and remaining until 1873, in which year the first resi- ant pastor was stationed here in the person of the Rev. Anton Leitnir, a na- ve of Tyrol, Austria, who performed the first baptism for this congregation, nuary 18, 1873. He remained until June, 1877, when he was succeeded by .e Rev. John F. Kalenberg, who was born in Westphalia, Prussia, August 26, 339, receiving his primary education in the schools and from the clergy of s native place. In the spring of 1854, he entered the Gymnasium of Pader- rn, where he remained five years, graduating in the fall of 1859 with first nors. He immediately entered the Theological and Philosophical Academy Paderborn, where he remained until the spring of 1862, when he came to nerica and finished his studies at Mt. St. Mary's of the West. He was or- ined by the Right Rev. John B. Purcell, in the spring of 1863, and after a ort stay at Reading, Ohio, took charge of missions in Gallia, Meigs and Athens punties, residing at Pomeroy, where he established the Sisters' School of the icred Heart. When Father Kalenberg entered upon his duties at Pomeroy, found about thirty pupils in the school, but left it with over 200, and in a osperous condition. He also finished and had the pleasure of having dedi- ted to God's service, St. John's Church, of Athens County : also beautified id enlarged the churches at Pomeroy and Gallipolis. Ohio, in all of which aces he had flourishing schools. In the spring of 1870, he took charge of e congregations at Greenville, Darke County, and New Paris, Preble County, io, completing and paying for the church already commenced in the latter ace ; tearing down the old church at Greenville, he erected a handsome edi- e and furnished it with a splendid pipe organ, and there remained until pointed to the charges of Miamisburg and Franklin. At the latter city, the urch was deeply in debt and the building in a dilapidated condition, but in ss than four years, under the energy and wise financial administration of ather Kalenberg, the debt was paid off, the building remodeled, and to-day e congregation is in a flourishing condition. Comparatively little had been ne by former pastors toward the material interests of the Miamisburg con- 'egation, owing, perhaps to the scarcity of funds, although all were zealous en in the cause of Christ and His church. Dissatisfied with the poor church commodation at this point, Father Kalenberg, in 1880, concluded to erect edifice to the honor and glory of God in which his people could assist divine service in a more fitting manner. He immediately began the work; e corner-stone was laid June 6, 1880, by the Right Rev. Bishop Elder, of ncinnati, who also dedicated the building to the service of the Most High, ily 10, 1881, giving it the name, "Immaculate Conception."
