The English Evangelical Lutheran Church
was organized about 1840 or 1842, and included among its members Jacob
Eberle and wife, David Achre and
wife, Elias Achre and wife, the Nunemakers,
Henry Ahrend and others. The house of worship was a frame
one-story structure, which cost about $1,000. It was erected on the
corner of Otter and Butler Streets, directly north of the present
Methodist parsonage. The house was sold about 1854 to Albert
Pew, now of Sharon, and has since been occupied by various
persons as a private dwelling. The congregation disbanded about the time
of the sale, a portion of the membership going to a Lutheran
congregation worshipping on the Blacktown road. It, too, has been
disbanded, many of the communicants finding a home in the Second
Presbyterian Church of Mercer.
