CHURCHES.

The religion of the people of New Glarus is of the denomination called the Swiss Reformed Church. The first church was a log building erected in 1849, and used as a church and school house. The first pastor was Rev. Mr. Streissgurth, who located in 1849 and remained until 1855. In 1884 he was still living, and at the Master's work. He was succeeded by Rev. John Zimmerman, who came from Switzerland in 1852, and came here in 1855. He remained with this people until 1859. He is now the pastor of a German Church in Burlington, Iowa. In 1859 the present church replaced the log church of the colonists. In that year the pres- ent pastor was located here, Rev. John T. Ettee. He was born in Switzerland, in 1832. The son of a elergyman, he was educated to the work from his youth. He came to the United States in 1850 and studied English in a univer- sity at Chambersburg, Penn. His first charge wasin Tennessee, and later he was settled at Sauk City. Going for that purpose, he was married in Switzerland, in 1855. He has only two chil- dren living, both now residents of Monroe- Robert and John T. About 1873 the society built a school house for imparting denomina- tional education. The house is also used for an independent school, in which German is taught by Fabian Knobel.
