IN WAUWATOSA EDIFICE.
In Honor of First Pastor.

Asa result Of substantial interest
taken by Fred D. Underwood, president
of the Erie road, and a native of Wau-
watosa, the name of the Baptist
church in this city is to be changed.
Changes and improvements will be
made at the suggestion of Mr.. Under
wood, in honor of the memory of his
father, Rev, Enoch d. Underwood, who
was the first pastor of the Wauwatosa
Baptist church.
The future name of this church will
be the Enoch D. Underwood Memorial
Baptist church. With the new name
will come Il new bell, to replace the old
one which did service in calling the
worshipers to the church for over forty
years. The old piece of bell metal will
be nodded into tablet which will be
appropriately lettered and will be
placed in the wall of the building as a
memorial to the first pastor.
In addition to this a modern pipe or
gan will be received by the conerega.

feeling on the part of President Under

original brick church edifce and fitted
it up as an armory for the use of the
Wauwatosa Light Guards. Within a
few weeks the old frame Underwood
farm house, in which the present pres
ident of the Erie road first beheld the
light of day, has been removed from
the family farm, three miles west of
Wauwatosa, into the city itself,
where it will be overhauled and main
tanned by Mr.. Underwood.
