Church Buildings and Ministers.
The first church edifice of the Lutherans was a round-log structure standing a few yards southeast of the present church, which lies on the left bank of the South Fork, two miles above Brandywine. Prior to the recollection of people now living, the original building was succeeded by one of hewed logs, and this in turn by the present frame building. The first resident pastor was the Rev. Peter Michler (Mit- chell), who died June 23, 1812, and was buried in the church- yard. He lived a half-mile south in the vacant house within the great bend of the river. Mitchell was followed by J. B. Reimenschneider, who served more than 20 years. After brief pastorates by H. Wetzel and Daniel and Jacob Sherer, George Schmucker came in 1841. He was followed in 1876 by Arthur A. Hahn, the present pastor.
The United Brethren Church first appeared on the North Fork. In first gained foothold on the South Branch about 1850, and at Upper Tract, where a congregation gathered at the old log Methodist church which once stood just above the burial ground to the east of the pike and on the lane leading to the residence of C. N. Judy.

County Officials Before 1865
The county order-books do not as a rule tell when an official was chosen. In many instances he is mentioned only inci- dentally. The following lists are not always complete or per- fect, but are the best that could be done with the various records accessible in the courthouse. The first date opposite each name is the year when the person is first named in the records. The second date is the year of decease, so far as such date is known. A date with a star indicates the year of commission.
