This church was begun late in the fall of 1822 when ground deeded to the Evangelical Lutheran and German Reformed congregations, which might be formed in the village of Shrewsbury, or Strasburg, as it was then named. Under the direction of Rev. G. Stecker, the Lutheran congregation was organized, the school house and the first church building erected. These buildings were shared by the Lutheran and Reformed congregations until 1875, when under the direction of Rev.

John H. Mengee, the present church building was dedicated, almost free of debt. In 1880 a Sunday school building was dedicated while Rev. E. Manges was pastor, to provide better facilities for the Sabbath school.

This building was later moved to the rear of. the church property, and serves today as a fine parish house for the many social and recreational activities of the congregation. From 1833 the parsonage for the pastors was located in Shrewsbury, but the pastors served several congregations. In 1894 the congregation withdrew from the charge and, having grown in numbere to 325 active members, called a pastor, Rev. A.

M. Heilman, to serve the congregation independently. The present parsonage was erected at that time, and under Pastor Heilman, the church was beautified and a steam heating system installed. In 1904 a fine pipe organ wag placed in the church, the first pipe organ in this vicinity. During the pastorate of Rev.

V. Hesse the present Sunday school room was erected and dedicated in 1914 at a cost of more than ten thoueand dollars. In 1925. while Rev. George E.

Bowersox was pastor the church was completely remodeled inside and the present chancel furnishings installed together with the uilding of the sacristy room.

Merryman, at Hereford, and the charges dismissed, when the parents promised to pay all damages and costs. According to the evidence offered at the hearing a Hallowe'en dance was in progress with one hundred men and women in costume when suddenly, through an open window, came a live skunk. It landed on the floor near the stage and for a moment seemed dazed and escaped through an open door. As soon as merrymakere had recovered from the strange interlude, the dance proceeded, but presently through the open door was projected another skunk and at once the lights in the hall went out, leaving the hall in total darkness and the dancere at the mercy of the frightened animal, which was using the only means of defense that nature gave.

The hall was soon cleared and rushing outside for a breath of air some of the men came upon the boys and held them until Officer Johnson arrived and placed them under arrest. The hall is said to be a mess. Curtaing and other furnishings are ruined. The Sunday school will not be able to hold sessions for at least a month.
