The following year Madison was taken in charge by Rev. M. Howard, from Illinois.

About this time the German population of Madison commenced increasing quite rapidly ; and in 1848 and 1849 they were often visited by Rev. J. G. Miller, who preached to them for a year and a half. He then being absent from Wisconsin for five years, in Pennsylvania and Maryland, the Illinois Conference appointed Rev. C. A. Schnake, who, in 1853, was ordered to organize the society and to commence the building of a church, which was erected the following year, in charge of the Rev. W. Strausberger, and finished in 1856 by Rev. J. G. Miller, the membership being then about fifty.

The first location of the church being somewhat out of the way, the Wisconsin Conference ordered the erection of the second church, the present white brick building, located on the corner of Pinckney and Mifflin Streets. The cost of the church was about $7,000, including lot. The church was completed in 1865, under the directions of Rev. W. F. Schneider.

As a church rule of the Evangelical Association is to change ministers every two and three years, therefore quite a number have been appointed to this place since it was first organized. Their names are-Rev. J. G. Miller, Rev. Benjamin Eply, Rev. M. Howard, Rev. J. G. Miller, Rev. C. A. Schnake, Rev. W. Strausberger, Rev. J. G. Miller, Rev. E. J. Esslinger, Rev. August Huelster, Rev. P. Helt, Rev. G. Fritsche, Rev. J. Haracher, Rev. W. Schneider, Rev. W. F. Kaufman, Rev. 'F. Zimmerman, Rev. C. Von Eschen, Rev. F. Huelster, Rev. C. Schneider, Rev. C. F. Finger, Rev. T. Umbreit and Rev. J. C. Brendel, the present Pastor.

The First Baptist Church in Madison was organized December 23, 1847, with twenty members. During the same month, Thomas Shillinglaugh was immersed in the crystal waters of beautiful Lake Monona, which was for the first time dedicated to God for baptistery. The church held its meetings in the Supreme Court room in the capitol, then comprising what now constitutes the Secretary of State's office and the old part of the State Treasurer's office, but, during the winter of 1848-49, the brick schoolhouse in the Third Ward was used as the place of meeting. Rev. H. W. Reed became the first Pastor. He resigned in March, 1841, and went out as a pioneer minister to New Mexico. In October, 1849, Rev. John Williams was chosen Pastor, but resigned the ensuing February. In the summer of 1851, Rev. S. S. Whitman, for- merly a Professor in Hamilton Institute, New York, came from Belvidere, Ill., and became Pas- tor of the church, but Mr. Whitman's labors were of brief duration. He died, after a short ill- ness, January 2, 1852. During his pastorate, Lewis Hall, over the store of Jehu H. Lewis,

near the present Presbyterian Church, was fitted up, and the regular services of the church held there.

On the 6th of February, 1853, a meeting of the members of the Baptist Church was held at the court house, to organize said church under the laws of the State, at which meeting Deacon Daniel Gorum was Chairman. Rev. M. D. Miller, Daniel Gorum, John W. Hunt, Elisha W. Keyes and Willett S. Main were elected Trustees, and the meeting empowered the Trustees to purchase a lot for a church, and to raise means by subscription for the erection of a church building. At a subsequent meeting of the Trustees, held February 14, Rev. M. D. Miller was appointed agent of the society to purchase the lot, circulate subscriptions, and to superintend the erection. On the 25th of August, the sum of $3,300 was subscribed, the lot purchased (Lot 5 in Block 74), and considerable progress made in the building. The work was vigorously prosecuted under the direction of Rev. M. D. Miller, who had been elected Pastor of the church, and the building was ready for occupancy in September, 1854, and was dedicated on the 3d of that month, Rev. J. A. Smith, of Chicago, and Rev. Dr. R. A. Fyfe, of Milwaukee, assisting. At this time, the church membership was forty-one. The church building was con- structed of brick, 48x78 feet in size, with a basement, fitted up for a lecture-room, having seventy pews of black walnut, neatly finished. The church was at that time the best building of the kind in the village. Mr. Miller continued as Pastor until his resignation, in 1855, when he was succeeded by Rev. James Cooper, who supplied the church for one year, and, in December, 1856, was succeeded by Rev. William R. Brooks, of Perry, N. Y., who occupied the pulpit until December, 1858. The church was supplied by various ministers until the summer of 1866, when Rev. W. H. Brisbane, of Cincinnati, Ohio, was invited to become Pastor, who accepted the same, and served until the time of the troubles at the South, when he resigned, and was- appointed Chaplain to the First Wisconsin Cavalry Regiment. In 1863, Rev. J. E. Johnson accepted a call to preach, and occupied the pulpit until 1865, when he retired, owing to ill health. He was succeeded by Rev. J. C. I. Clarke, of Chicago, who preached until 1871, when Rev. E. H. Page, of Milford, Mass., became Pastor, and remained until June, 1873 ; for a year the church had no settled minister. During the summer of that year, Mr. D. J. Hill occupied the pulpit for two months. By the unanimous call of the church, the Rev. Thomas Bright became their Pastor in June, 1874. Before his arrival, the church had closed their house of worship, and the congregation was somewhat scattered ; under Mr. Bright's care, the church steadily improved, and increased in numbers and influence. On Sunday, the 10th of September, 1876, while preaching the evening sermon, Mr. Bright was stricken suddenly with apoplexy, and fell back upon the sofa ; he was carried to his home, where he died in about an hour. Death came to him while he was on duty, with the words he loved so well still on his lips. Most of the time after his death until July, 1877, Dr. Stephen H. Carpenter, of the State University, kindly filled the pulpit. Much of the success of the church is due to the untiring interest Prof. Carpenter always took in its welfare.

The Baptist Church is one of the oldest of the religious organizations of Madison, and, in spite of many obstacles, it has maintained a creditable and quiet existence since its first estab- lishment. In one respect, it is a pattern for other churches. It has no debt, and incurs none, it being a standing order of the church that no liability be incurred until the money to meet it has been raised. The church was slowly but steadily gaining strength under the leadership of the late Rev. Mr. Bright, whose sudden death at the time of his greatest apparent usefulness, cast a gloom over the community, and they were once more left without a leader. Still they were not discouraged-they kept on the even tenor of their way-maintaining regular services, as has been mentioned, until July 15, when the church was closed for repairs, that it might present a more inviting appearance when a new Pastor should be installed. There were expended on repairs about $1,000, and the church was greatly improved thereby.

Clark O. Maltby came from Watertown, N. Y., to Madison, in August, 1877. Mr. Maltby had not as yet been ordained as a minister of the church, and, on the 6th of September, 1877, he was examined by the council as a candidate for the Baptist ministry. In the evening

789

HISTORY OF DANE COUNTY.

of the same day, the ordination sermon was preached by Rev. Dr. J. H. Griffiths, of Milwaukee. The next Sunday, the 9th of September, the Rev. Mr. Maltby delivered his first sermon to the people of the Baptist Church. Since that time, he has most acceptably filled the position as its Pastor.

An organ was purchased by the society, in August, 1879, which, when set up, cost $1,250. The church is entirely out of debt, and in a prosperous condition.

German Presbyterian .- The building now occupied by the German Presbyterians is situ- ated on Webster street, between Main street and Washington avenue. David Holt gave the lot to the Congregational society, in 1846, and a building was erected. The Congregationalists moved out about 1859, selling the building to the Unitarians. Philo Dunning, L. W. Hoyt and William Ripley, who held it for the Unitarian society, sold it May 4, 1865, to the German Presbyterians.

The society had already become organized, and had held a few meetings in a schoolhouse. Their first Pastor was Rev. Mr. Steckenmesser ; this gentleman raised, by personal endeavor, nearly all of the money necessary to purchase the building. His successor, C. Ruegg, finished his pastorate for the church in January, 1868. C. A. Reinert took charge in 1869, remaining but a short time, leaving during the same year. Rev. William Kampmeir succeeded him in June, 1869, and was with them till 1872. The church was without a minister till in 1875, when the Rev. H. A. Winter accepted the call to become their leader in spiritual affairs.

Through his endeavors, the church edifice has been thoroughly renovated, internally and exter- nally, and a steeple erected. The memorial meeting for the purpose of formally re-opening the reju- venated edifice was held the evening of December 15, 1879, and the same old bell was rung that in early days had been used to call the Congregationalists together, but which now serves as the alarm on the No. 1 Fire Engine Building. The audience represented all of the Protestant denominations in the city. Among those present could be seen many of the faces of the pioneers of Madison. The renovation cost $575. The obligations of the church have been met, so that now the society is nearly out of debt, with a church membership of sixty.

The Pastor, the Rev. Mr. Winter, has a day school in connection with the church, where is taught both German and English to about forty boys and girls.

Presbyterian Church .- At a meeting of the Presbytery of Dane, held October 3, 1851, during the sessions of the Synod of Wisconsin at its first meeting in Fort Winnebago, a petition from several church members resident in and near Madison, formerly connected with the Pres- byterian, Reformed Dutch, and Associate Reformed Churches, asking to be organized into a Presbyterian Church and received into the Presbytery, was presented by Rev. H. B. Gardiner to the Presbytery of Dane ; whereupon the Presbytery appointed a committee consisting of the Revs. D. C. Lyon and Thomas Fraser, to visit Madison, and, if in their judgment the way should be deemed clear, to effect the organization of a church in connection with the Presbytery, with the privilege of inviting clerical members from the other Presbyteries belonging to the Synod to take part in the discharge of the duties of their commission.

The committee met at Madison, October 4, 1851, Saturday evening, and after divine scrv- ice, organized a church consisting of the following members :

John Y. Smith, from the Reformed Dutch Church, formerly existing in Madison, of which he was an Elder, and the only remaining member there; Daniel S. Durrie and Mrs. Anna H. Durrie, by letter from the Third Reformed Dutch Church of Albany, N. Y .; Mary E. and Clara Gardiner, by letter from the South Presbyterian Church, Galena, Ill., and Jane McFar- land, by letter from the Presbyterian Church of Mansfield, Ohio. An election of officers was held, and John W. Sterling, Professor in the State University, and John Y. Smith were elected Ruling Elders, and D. S. Durrie, Deacon. On the succeeding day, Sunday, October 5, after public worship at Lewis Hall, these persons were ordained and installed. Rev. H. B. Gardiner was engaged as stated supply of the pulpit.

On the same day, in the intermission between the hours of public worship, the session received four additional members : James McBride and Mrs. Mary Ann McBride, from the

790

Associated Reformed Church of Milroy, Ind. ; Mrs. Elizabeth Jane Fox, from the Presbyter- ian Church of Greenfield, Wis., and William Fox, her son.

Rev. Mr. Gardiner made a successful effort to obtain funds for the crection of a church edifice the year after his location in Madison, and a framed building was erected, 40x60 feet, on the corner of Wisconsin avenue and Johnson street.

The new church building was completed and dedicated, December 25, 1853.

Rev. Mr. Gardiner resigned October 21, 1855, and September 21, 1856, a unanimous call was extended to Rev. William L. Green, of Greenville, Ky., to become Pastor, which was accepted, and he preached until April 2, 1865, when, owing to ill health, he resigned .. On the 17th of September, 1865, the church invited Rev. Edward G. Read, of Elizabeth, N. J., to become their Pastor, which was accepted, and he was ordained and installed October 11, 1865, with impressive services, in which Rev. Dr. J. M. Buchanan, of Milwaukee, and Revs. Fox and Day participated. Mr. Read resigned in 1869, and Rev. Richard V. Dodge, of Wheeling, W. Va., was elected Pastor, which position he retained until March, 1871, when he accepted a call to a church in San Francisco. In the spring of 1873, Rev. L. Y. Hayes, of Ottawa, Ill., was elected Pastor, and installed June 12. On the 9th, the church building, which had been closed for repairs, was re-opened for public worship. The edifice had undergone extensive improvements, and an organ been purchased. The cost of the whole was about $8,000.

After the retiracy of Mr. Hayes, May, 1877, the church was vacant for more than a year. In April, 1878, a call was extended to the Rev. J. E. Wright, Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Walnut Hills, Cincinnati, Ohio. Mr. Wright accepted the call thus tendered, and, on the first Sabbath of June following, appeared in the pulpit as the Pastor-elect, and took charge of the congregation, and is at present serving in that capacity.

The Bethany Mission School, in connection with this church, was formed February 27, 1876. It is held in a building situated on Williamson Street, in the Third Ward, and its object is to furnish religious instruction to the children and youth in that portion of the city. At the open- ing of the school, there were in attendance 107 persons, including officers, teachers and scholars.

The Evangelical Lutheran St. Johannis Congregation .- In the year 1855, the Lutheran Pastor, Rev. Ludwig Habel, came to Madison on a missionary tour to seek for those of his own faith, and preach the word of God to them. His efforts were crowned with success. On the 20th of January of the next year (1856), a meeting of German Lutherans was held, and the founding of an Evangelical Lutheran congregation resolved upon. Rev. Mr. Habel promised to preside over this new congregation, in addition to Cottage Grove, until it should have its own Pastor. Already, on the 3d of February of the same year, Rev. John Deindorfer received a call from the congregation, which he accepted, and was forthwith installed as Pastor. At that time the congregation was composed of about thirty heads of families, but, as quite a number withdrew, only a small flock remaining to form the new society. Nevertheless, the small congre- gation, seeing the necessity of having a church of its own, straightway proceeded with the erection of a church, and, in the year 1859, it was dedicated. In the following year (1860) the Pastor was called away, and was succeeded by Rev. Th. Koberle, who served the congre- gation until the year 1863. Toward the end of that year, Rev. T. List became Pastor, and remained in that position until the fall of the year 1867. As the church building which has hitherto been used was found to be too small, and situated in an unfavorable locality, the con- gregation, for the price of $1,000, bought a lot in the Second Ward, on Washington avenue and Canal street, and there built a larger and more beautiful church, which is still occupied by it. Toward the end of the year 1867, Rev. H. Vogel became Pastor of the congregation, and filled this position until the year 1875. In the month of April of that year, Rev. Chr. Wilke became his successor, who is at the present date Pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran congregation in Madison. The congregation have always had great obstacles to overcome, and have been compelled, on account of the limited membership, to make many sacrifices for its further existence. It now numbers some 170 communicants, and possesses in real estate a church and parsonage worth together $5,000.

Jewish Synagogue and Society .- The Jewish Society was organized in 1860. The mem- bers bought their church and cemetery grounds (Shra Shamiam) the same year. The synagogue was commenced in the spring of 1862, and finished in the fall. It is built of white brick, 26x 40 feet. The total cost of the structure and grounds was $5,000. The first members were Samuel Klauber, Sigmund Klauber, Isaac Klauber, Markus Kohner, Ben Kohner, Jacob Lentz, Henry Straus, N. Modey, A. Thalberg, Mr. Reichenbaum, S. Thuringer, A. C. Flesch, L. Uhlman, Max Landaner and M. Friend. Canta Markusen was first teacher. He continued but a short time, when Canta Thuringa was installed teacher, who remained ten or twelve years. There has been no teacher for two or three years, and the synagogue is now used by the Unita- rian Society.

First Unitarian Church of Madison was organized March 5, 1880, and Rev. Henry M. Simmons settled as Pastor, partly supported by the American Unitarian Association of Boston, Mass. Present Trustees, W. F. Allen, Chairman ; C. W. Askew, Secretary ; G. L. Storer, Treasurer; B. F. Adams, Levi Alden, H. H. Giles, F. A. Stoltze.

There have been three previous efforts to establish a Liberal Church in Madison : One in 1855, by Rev. Henry F. Bond. This organization was kept up for about a year. Another in 1860 by Rev. Lemuel B. Mason. This was a Universalist Church. The next year Mr. Mason went into the army as a Chaplain, and shortly after died. The church continued to hold services for several months after Mr. Mason left. And a third in 1866, by Rev. Marshall G. Kimball, who remained here until 1869 ; services were discontinued in the fall of that year.

MASONIC.

Madison Lodge, No. 5 .- This Masonic body, the first instituted in the county, and the fifth in the State, was the second chartered by the Most Worthy Grand Lodge of Wisconsin, after its formation, and was organized by M. W. Benjamin T. Kavanaugh, the first Grand Master of Masons of Wisconsin.

The dispensation was issued June 4, 1844, and the charter is dated Jan. 10, 1845.

The charter members were John Catlin, David Holt, Augustus A. Bird, David Hyer, Will - iam W. Stewart, Barlow Shackleford and Martin G. Van Bergen.

The lodge was instituted and for some time held its communications in the council chamber of the old capitol building. From the capitol it went to the house in the First Ward now occu- pied by W. G. Pitman, and from there it went to the old Argus building, and from there to Bird's carriage-shop, then to Albee's block (old Patriot office), and from there to Main's block, west corner of the park. From Main's block, it removed to Porter's block (now Ogden's), where it remained until removed to its present elegant and commodious rooms, in Young's block, some fourteen years ago. For the last twenty years, this lodge has held a high position among the craft, and, in its ritualistic work and influence ranks second to no lodge in the State. It now, at this writing, numbers 151 members, among whom may be found some of the most honored and respected citizens, as well as many of the best and most talented young men of the city and county. Since its organization, it has received the petition for the degrees of Masonry of 452 persons, and has rejected 101 of that number; has initiated 334, and raised to the sublime de- gree of Master Mason 292. It has also received into membership by affiliation 132 Master Masons. Following is a complete list of the officers of the lodge from the organization to date :
