In Response To: Ottumwa Churches (Dianne Underwood)

From the book "Ottumwa: Yesterday and Today" published 1923.

"For several years the German people of the Lutheran faith were not sufficiently strong in numbers here to form themselves into a permanent religious class. Finally a meeting was called for August 26, 1886, and the First German Evangelical Lutheran St. Paul's was organized. A call was extended to Rev. Mr. Hansen who became the first regular pastor. The congregation soon had a building of its own, at the corner of Vine and Second streets. which it still occupies."
