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.
