In the 1970s there was a Lutheran Church of the Redeemer at West Ferry and Elmwood. It is now an office building. At that time the parsonage was located on West Delavan near Elmwood. Since Highland is the next street from West Ferry, this is probably the same church, but the entrance was on West Ferry. It was converted to offices after 1974. >From: George Richmond <grichmon@localnet.com> >Reply-To: NYERIE-L@rootsweb.com >To: NYERIE-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: Re: [NYERIE] Church Question >Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2005 23:05:31 -0500 > >>Hi All: >> >>Would anyone know which church Herman J.
