ST. JOHN'S EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN. On the twenty-third day of June, 1895, eleven Lutherans assembled in the Y.M.C.A. Chapel, and at 11 a. m., Rev. N. Schaffer, then of Greenville, Pa., conducted services. This was the beginning of what developed into the present St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church. Until the following spring the Rev. Schaffer conducted services once every fortnight. On June 17, 1896, Rev. J. H. Miller having been called, took charge of the mission and preached to the congregation for the first time June 21, 1896.
