*These
resources were put together by Doris Tritsch. There are many cross references between the sources. Many of the newspaper articles quote the
histories. Many of the histories quote
the news articles. Several ministers
wrote or added onto previous church histories. If you would like to read the original resources, the documents are in a
notebook in the church office.
