I usually get notifications of messages and I did not for this one. Here is a web link to the church: http://www.christlutheran-jt.org/index.html >From there you can see pictures of the 1st and 2nd buildings. The 3rd is set to be complete this summer. Reading through you can also see that Christ Lutheran met in the school starting in the 1870s, and the building came in 1883. My g-grandfather served as treasurer for the church for a long time and I have a very haunting set of photos from the first fire. It is so sad. I hadn't realized that St. Matthew's had burned as well. That isn't too far from me either. You can also get the answers to some of your Rev. questions there. Rev. A.M. Strauss was the first, but came later than the dates you are looking for. >From various certificates that I have here are the pastors: Oct. 1885- A. M. Strauss Nov. 1889- Geo. G. Kunkle Aug. 1892- L. Lindenstruth Nov. 1894 & Nov. 1899- A. J. L. Breinig Jul. 1907, & Aug. 1909- W. C. L. Lauer If there is anything else at all, please let me know!
