In the appendix at the end of the directory is a list of the churches by denomination. The individual listing includes the name of the pastor, the sexton, times of services, number of members and sometimes the year the building was erected. Rev. George W. Wall was the pastor of St. Mark's Evangelical Church, located on Soulard street, cornor of Jackson. Erected, 1845. Number of communicants, 80. Check an online directory for the church under Lutheran or UCC. I have found that several of the Lutheran or UCC churches have been filmed by the LDS, so check their catalog.
