The Hammond Times Indiana Sept. 29, 1940 Evangelical Church marks 50 Birthday Part 2 History is continued. In Friday editions of the Hammond Times, the early history of the church was recalled from the period in which a small group of pioneers became its charter members, up until about 1915, when the silver anniversary was observed by the congregation. Highlights of the historical quarter-century that followed are given in the following summary: The congregation was without a pastor several months, until Rev. A. J. HOTZ accepted a call elsewhere, and was succeeded by Rev. Carl SCHAEFFER on Oct. 1, 1919. Improvements upon the parsonage and the laying of a cornerstone and subsequent completion of a new social hall were outstanding incidents of his pastorate. The social hall is connected with the church, at the rear of the church property on Sibley Street. Son Succeeds Pastor Rev. SCHAEFFER died July 15, 1935, and, in seeking a successor, the congregation chose his son, the present minister who, with his family, came to Hammond on Jan. 9, 1936. The younger man in his first service stated that his aim in life was to preach Christ alone, and him crucified. He also stated that the utmost desire of his heart was to be "as true a follower of Christ as his father had been." Well attended services to date are a testimonial that he is succeeding in his aim, members of the congregation pointed out. Rev. SCHAEFFER came to Hammond from Pittsburgh, Pa., where for five years he was pastor in Trinity Evangelical church. Previously, he served the members of Morrell Park Evangelical church in Baltimore, Md. He was ordained about 16 years ago in the Hammond church as he succeeded his father. He came here directly from attending college in Elmhurst, Ill, and Eden Seminary in St. Louis, Mo. He also attended Pittsburgh University while residing in that city and took post graduate work in advanced English. Sister a Missionary His father served for 45 years in the ministry. Rev. SCHAEFFER'S birthplace, Newport, Ky., was the scene of an early charge held by his father - St. Paul's Evangelical church. A sister of the young pastor, Miss Hedwig SCHAEFFER, is a missionary in India. She is expected in Hammond Oct. 17, while on furlough from her religious activities. Rev. SCHAEFFER was married Sept. 27, 1924 to Dora WOELLER of Elmhurst, Ill. They have 2 sons, Erwin age 12 and David 8. The pastors mother, Mrs. Bertha SCHAEFFER, makes her home with the family at 712 Sibley. The present valuation of the church, which seats about 350, together with the hall with about the same seating capacity, and the 10 room parsonage, is estimated at $150,000. Impressive Memorials Memorials in the church are impressive. One of these is an electric organ installed last spring and presented by William HILDEBRANDT and family in honor of their child who died at birth several years ago, colored window panes were donated by the late William SCHMUESER of Hammond. A painting of Sinking Peter, while walking on the water, hangs in the church auditorium. The church, in rounding out is 15th year, is without direct indebtedness, it was explained, although there is still $20,000 owed on the hall built in 1926. In the past five years, 340 new members have been taken into the congregation. Rev. SCHAEFFER is now conducting a membership drive, believing this figure can be increased considerably by Christmas. The present membership is 1,076. A contributing membership is reported as 724, with 310 enrolled in the Sunday school. Statistics of the church show there have been 1,291 baptisms, 597 weddings, 1,070 funerals and 14,855 communicants. Kuhn Retires Twice William KUHN, the only living charter member, resides with Mrs. KUHN at 818 Drackert Street, Hammond. He is one of the oldest meat market operators in Lake County, having been engaged in that line of business for 35 years, prior to his retirement 14 years ago. Then he became a gardener at the Hammond High School, a position he retained until about a week ago when he again retired from active work. Mr. KUHN has resided in Hammond for 56 years. He came here from Chicago where he had been employed a short time, as he also was in New York, after making a trip across the Atlantic from his birthplace in Germany. He was born on Dec. 28, 1866, and was 17 years old when he came to the United States. He and Mrs. KUHN have seven sons and daughters.

The Hammond Times Sept. 27, 1940 Evangelical Church marks 50th Birthday Hammond Parrish will start Golden Jubilee Sunday By Phil LaMar Anderson When the first in a series of religious observances of the Golden Jubliee of Immanuel Evangelical and Reformed Church is held Sunday, only one member of its charter members will be numbered among Hammond pioneers attending the rally. He is William KUHN, now 74, who has been a resident of Hammond 56 years. The other charter members, about a dozen in all, are dead, according to the pastor, Rev. Paul Schaeffer, who has arranged a celebration including six Sundays and several week-day services throughout October. It was on Oct. 15, 1890, that a small group of early day residents banded together in Hammond to organize an Evangelical Church. They convinced Rev. Peter Weil that they were eager, though not numerous, and he was persueded to cooperate in providing a place of worship for them. Located on Hohman Avenue In this groupo were: W. EVERS Rudolph BLUM William PRANGE Carl LINDNER Henrich ELSTER Mr. KUHN Frank PESCHKE and several others. They desired to worship in a church of their fatherland, so they chose a two-story frame building on Hohman Avenue, near the banks of the Calumet River, in which to organize and incorporate under the name of the Deutsch Evangelisch Immanuels Gemeinde. As time passed, other meetings of this group were conducted in the old Borchert's Hall at State Street and Sohl Avenue and in a cottage at 627 State Street, which still remains. This activity resulted eventually in the formation of a group called Circle Number One. Women with nimble fingers plied needles in making quilts and other articles which they offerred for sale, in raising funds in the interest of the church and its work. It is recalled that the first pastor was dexterious as a designer. On numerous occasions, he furnished the designs for the quilt tops. Two years after the church was organized, its growing congregation decided to have a new place of worship and erected a frame house which they dedicated Oct. 16, 1892. The church consisted of a main auditorium, according to old records and, although small, it symbolized the fulfillment of the hopes and aims of the parishioners and their Pastor, Rev. WEIL. First Christenings. During it's first year of existance, the church group witnessed the christianing of Georgina Louis Lenore KNABE, the first tot born to a member of the congregation, but the distinction of having the first child actually christened in the Evangelical Church proper, was cherished by the Pastor and his wife. Their little daughter, Huldah Lydia WEIL, was baptised Jan. 29, 1893. The early records reveal that 35 members of the congregation assembled at the Lord's Table and were strengenthened in their faith when they accepted an invitation issued by the Pastor for this event on Easter Sunday in 1892. This was the first service of its kind in the history of this church and it has been repeated annually ever since. Interested in giving their children a more thorough religious education, together with the teachings of the early-day text books, the congregation established its own parochial school in February, 1892. There, both the German and English languages were taught, in addition to reading, writing and arithmetic. The following year, 1893, marked the construction of a frame parsonage one and one-half stories in height. Pioneers have related that the pastor performed much of the manual labor to save his parishioners a considerable sum of their donations toward this project. The house was completed in late summer, and the pastor's family moved in on Aug. 28, 1893. Serves Eight Ministers The excellence of this construction job was shown with the passing of years, Rev. SCHAEFFER has pointed out, inasmuch as the building served as the parsonage for eight succeeding pastors. In 1921 it was sold and moved to Beall Avenue, where it is still in use as a private residence. During the pioneering period, the women met in various homes for social gatherings and in carrying out their portion of the work of the church. They too, were organizers and formed the Tabea Ladies Aid on Oct. 19, 1893. This organization was destined to be one of the most sustaining factors in the history of the church, Rev. SCHAEFFER said. With the organization of the church in 1890, a Sunday School was started. The initial enrollment was six pupils. Throughout the history of the church, the Sunday school has been the means of educating many children. In 1897, an addition was made to the church building and this single room was used as a school auditorium for many years. Organize Sunday School Rev. WEIL remained in the service of his Hammond congregation until Feb. 28, 1899, when a farewell party was held in his honor. His successor was Rev. Theodore BRAUN, who was installed the following May 19. The new pastor made an instant hit with his people by organizing the Sunday school teachers and also a choir. At the same time the male members of the congregation formed an organization to assist parishioners in times of illness and death. On August 2, 1899, they started the KRANKEN UNTERSTITSUNGS VEREIN, which subsequently provided finanacial aid in times of distress as well as spiritual comfort to fellow members. This organization functioned successfully until 1926 when the members decided to disband, the majority of the original members having died up to that time. In 1900, a Yound People's Organization was started to develope a young Christians as members of the church. Until this time, the parochial school had been conducted under the direction of the pastor, and in later years under teachers especially qualified for the work. After April 1, 1910, the daily school was discontinued, and the pastor conducted what was known as Saturday School, and also the summer school. Classes were held on Saturday mornings, and during the summer public school vacation seasons. Rev. BRAUN concluded his service Sept. 2, 1904, and was succeeded by Rev. J. Val ZIEMER. He stayed until 1908, and the church congregation is credited with having made great strides during his time in Hammond. On August 1, 1908, Rev. C. A. HELDBERG and family came to the city. Large Church needed It was at this time the growing congregation realized the need for a larger church. Seating capacity in their old church was inadequate, it was then decided to erect a brick edifice, a building which still serves the worshippers today at 712 Sibley Street. It was dedicated Nov. 14, 1909. Rev. HELDBERG resigned in May 1910, and was succeeded by Rev. M. C. HOEFER the following June. During his stay, he was active in retiring the church debt. When he answered the call in 1914, Rev. E. HUGO and family came to Hammond and in October of 1915 supervised the congregations celebration of the churches 25th Anniversary. Rev. HUGO died on Feb. 20, 1916.

Thank you, Cheryl. The Centanne Family is small in the Hammond/Gary area. Sebastian's father Rosario Centanni came north in about 1910 from New Orleans to work in the steel mills. The family originates in Alia, Sicily, Italy. Rosario came over in 1906 and was in Gary by 1910. His brother Sam Centanni/Centanne also settled in Gary. Sebastian was an only son, but has a half sister Lillian Centanne Biamonte who died in Michigan City in 2000 and a full sister Mary Centanne who died of TB at age 18 in 1928 in Gary. For more information and pictures on the Centanne family in the Gary, Indiana area, please see: http://web.tampabay.rr.com/centans/centanni.html If you have any information on the Hozdovich/Hvozdovich family, they were much more numerous in the Gary area. I would appreciate anything you can find, as they are my brick wall. Michael Hozdovich died in 1923 of pneumonia, and his daughter Mary Hozdovich Centanne was never close to her family. We were recently told her mother Helena Boris Hozdovich remarried but do not know the man's name. He only lived about a year! Thanks again!
