    3. Elmer, I have the book "Semi-Centenarians of Butler Grove Township and a Brief History of the Village of Butler" by Rev. T. E. Spilman; Sept. 1878 The book has an index but I have discovered it is only an index of the people whose biographies are included. It doesn't include those names that are within the biographies. In the biographies section, included are: Mrs. Mary Scherer (wife of David) page 13 Jacob Cress (husband of Miss Helena Scherer) page 92 Mrs. Helena Cress (wife of Jacob Cress, daughter of Daniel and Rachel Scherer) page 93. I will be glad to transcribe these biographes and send them to you. In the history section: page 140 "The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Ware's Grove was organized Dec. 24th 1860 under the pastoral labors of Rev. J. Livengood. The names of the original members are as follows: Jacob W. Scherer, Mrs. Electa Scherer, Henry Misenheimer, Mrs. Rachel Misenheimer, Mrs. Mary Scherer, Mrs. Rebecca A. Cress. The Church Edifice in which the congregation now worships was built in 1862, and dedicated in Dec. of the same year, the dedication sermon being preached by Rev. George A. Bowers." Hope this helps, Sue
