as a matter Of fact the Lutheran
pastors got here also. The writer
had occasion to meet an old gen.
tleman in the southern part Of
the state last summer, his name
was Rev. Hoyer, if am not mis-
taken. This gentleman claimed
this honor for himself, that he
had been the first Lutheran pastor
ever holding services at Eagle
River. That was in the early SOS,
if not before. AS there are no
records on hand denying his state
ment we let this old gentleman
have that honor.
Rev. Kuestman seems to have
been the next pastor serving the
Lutherans at Eagle River. At his
time the present Christ Evangel-
ical congregation was organized.
The meeting for that purpose was
held in the home of Mr.. Ed. Fred
erick. Mr.. Chas. Ewald, August
Ziemke and August Nedden were
the three charter members sign
ing the certificate of organization
under date of Nov. II, 1890. Rev.
Rutzen became successor to Rev.
Kuesteman. Up to his time s-ry-
ices had always been held in PRIV
ate houses, mostly in the homes of
Mr.. Aug. Ziemke and Mr.. Ell Fred
erick. But as the private houses
proved to be too small to hold all
the visitors, Rev. Rutzen induced
thee congregation to engage the
present Congregational church
edifice for their services. For a
time services were he'd in that
church. By and by the organiza-
ton decided to have it's own h0u e
of worship. In the year 1892, then
the little church building, located
IN the southeast part of town on
the southeast part Of town on
Third street, was erected which is
our house of worship today yet By
the kindness Of the O'Connor fam
lily the property on which the
church stands was donated to the
congregation.

A. S. Newcomb. In June of 1890 the
Rev. H. c. Todd took charge of
the parish and continued for ten
years as the pastor. From June
1900 to 1902 and again from 1907
to 1910 Rev. c. w. Pinkney was
pastor. Mr.. Pinkney was a strong
temperance and reform worker
being credited with abolishing the
slot machine from the business
houses. Rev. w. R. Dixon was
pastor during four years from
Dec. 1902 to1906. Mr.. Dixon was
a singer and leader in community
service. Rev. Thos. J. Harris was
a pastor from 1906 to 1910 and
Rev. Mr.. Moss from 1910 to 1912.
Rev. G. E. Griffith then became
pastor for three years and Rev.
George H. Walters who did so
much to make Eagle River a dry
town before countrywide prohi-
ton came was the pastor from
1915 to 1918. The present pastor,
W. J. Davies, came to Eagle River
as an associate to Mr.. Walters, the
field having grown to include
Three Lakes, Phelps, Sayner, and
many country points.
The present parsonage, located
on Second street, was bought and
moved to its present location from
the lot where the court house now
stands.

Rev. Mueller was next to sue
coed Rev. Herzfeld, and he was
again succeeded after a few years
by Rev. H. Schmitt, stationed at
Rhinelander now. Rev. Schmitt
served this congregation longest
of all, being here in Eagle River
almost eight years. Three years
ago the present pastor received a
call from the congregation which
he also accepted, and he surely
is proud of his little flock for
their efforts which they show in
church work.
During all these years the con-
gregation grew steadily. Begin
ming with the three charter mem
bers above mentioned, the congre-
cation today has "a voting men,
145 communicate and contribut-
ing members and about 200 souls
1t has, in it's midst a number of
organizations: A Ladies' Aid So
ciety with a membership of 35, a
Bible class for the young people,
and a Sunday school Of about 50
chiid and seven teachers. Until
recently the congregation rec ivel
financial support from the syno !,
but the members all working arl
are today proud Of the fact that
they have become Sc f-suppor ing.
Our present church building being
too small, compelling us to have
double services every Sunday
morning to house the visito s, the
congregation decided to build a
new and larger edifice. Lots for
that purpose joining the lots Of
the present parsonage have al
ready been purchased from Mr..
Aug. Zibell. The new bull. ing
with Dimensions of about 14Ox10
will most likely be of stucco or
brick veneer, and is to seat about
250 people. The approximate cost
Of the building, without bell and
organ, is judged to be in the
neighborhood Of about S15,0O0.O0.

History of the Churches
Congregational Church

In the fall of 1884 jackson lib
bits of Amigo, better known as
Deacon" Tibbits came to Eagle
River and began a Sunday School
and preached in the little school
house then located about the loca-
ton of the present LaWler resi-
dence on the north side Of the
river from the main portion of the
village. Some of the present "old"
and middle aged people were then
young people and children. Soon
after this a photographer put up
a portable studio on the south side
river where the present bridge
spans the river G. M. Nash, a
present deacon in the church cared
for the studio and the Sunday
School, moved there and held its
sessions during the next summer.
A Methodist named Rose started
a Methodist Sunday School in the
building since bought and remod-
eled by M. Frankel in 1885 and
both Congregational and Metho-
dists had Sunday Schools for about
six months. In the meantime the
Methodists erected a frame build
ing for church work and then
sold it, to the Congregational
people for $20000 This is the
present building located at Divis-
ion and First on the lot donated
by John O'Connor, father of our
present district attorney.
The organization of the church
known as "The Congregational
Church Society" was effected with
9 members in 1887 after 3 years
and continued by Deacon Tibbits
and others. The names of the
charter members are: Mr.. and
Mrs. E. L. Stewart, Mr.. and Mrs.
S. Walters, Mrs. R. A. Richmond,
C. A. Thompson, Seymour Dewitt,
Jacob Klumb and Mrs. Anna Wark.
Only one of these is now living in
the village, Mrs. R. A.Raymond,
better known as Grandma Rich
mond'' and she has been for years
a cripple and unable to attend
services.
Gradually the membership has
increased to the present stage, but
the Congregationalists lay stress
on the educational side of religion
and made the Sunday School a
strong factor in the building of
Christian character.
The pastors of the Congrega-
tional church have been men Of
strong characteristics. Deacon
Tibbits covered a large area in
making points as far apart as
Wakefield, Tomahawk, Amigo,
Eagle River and other points. He
is cordially remembered by the
earl y pioneers as an uncompromis-
ing, self-sacrifcing man of faith.
Holding short pasorates after Rev.
Tibbits were Revs. L. A. Holp and

Rev. Rutzen was succeeded by
Rev. Dejung, ST., and Rev. Dejung,
Jr., both at their time stationed
at Rhinelander from where they
also served Eagle River. Rev.
Herzfeld, their next pastor, was
the first to make his home here
at Eagle River. The present home
of Mr.. Pickett in rear of the
church edifice was purchased by
the congregation for a parsonage.
But the house proved not to be a
very healthy place to live in, due
to the water in the basement all
the year around and therefore it
was sold again after a few years.
The next parsonage, a seven room
house, was purchased of Mr.. A.
Radke-Would state here though
that Mr.. Pickett, who at present
owns the old parsonage tells us,
that by scraping all his old paint
kettles and boiling the remains in
a big pot has invented a certain
waterproof something (also en-
dorsed by the Industrial Commits
sion, patent applied for it like
wise) and applying it to the ce-
ment floor and walls of his base

wards finds out that an error had
crept into your story that you told
him. Realizing this is a good at
tribute we allowed ourselves to be
persuaded by him to give a little
account of the past and present
history Of the Lutheran church,
located in the world renowned town
of Eagle River. To shield the
newspaperman a little we would
like to ask the public not to blame
him for some Of the mistakes that
might have found their way into
the history to follow. What other
people don't know the newspaper
man can't know either, he gets
wisdom through others, like any
body else only with this differ
ence that he never pays tuition.
We would also beg the readers not
to- be too hard on the writer of
these lines. Had the newspaper
man sent us a wireless 25 years or
more ago telling us what a trick
he had planned to play on the
churches in the year of 1923, then
we would today be more able to
give him the honest-to-goodness
facts. AS it is, however, the lit
tie that once was known has today
been long forgotten. You see the
banks in those days (if there were
any, did not encourage the pub
lie to apply for safety-boxes and
on account Of it there were no in
ducements for the people to make
records of any kind and if they
were made there was no way of
getting them into safety. That
most likely explains why the Luth-
eran church is without them to-
day. The little that may be said
about the early history of our
church here is due to the good
memory of our dear old friend,
Mr.. Chas. Ewald. The following
therefore, are some of the things
which he also had almost forgot
ten:
The church has way of keep
ing an eye on its people and no
matter where they go the church,
through its pastors, is sure to be
close behind them. AS some Luth-
Grams had found their way up here
to Eagle River, how they ever
found their way through the
thickest of the forest and how
they managed to get by these
many lakes, seems to be a riddle
today, yet which problem only the
newspaperman can solve. Any
how, the fact is not to be disput-
ed, some Lutheran got here and

SEEKING KIND HUSBANDS
Young Women Of Holland Understand
That Americans Treat Their

Thirty-five young women from Hol-
land stepped foot on American shores

AUTOMOBILE MIGHTY

A writer, In discussing the relation
Of the automobile on the farm, says
that after hard days work 1t is a
pleasure to get into car and take a
25-mile spin. We rest as we do. and
study the methods Of our neighbors.
Moreover, the automobile has an
other service to perform. 1t can bring

Il there is trouble In the field, II
some part Of your farm machinery is
broken down, the automobile can
bring from town the needed help or
the parts that you need to set the ma
chine In motion again.
Again, the automobile brings the
farmer closer to the market, whether
it is the local or the distant market,
and enables him to market his produce
more rapidly and on better terms.
The writer to whom we have referred
says that he has machine that has
run for 18 months on the original set
of tires, with only $3.25 expense fol

Of his machine is pleasure, business

The long stripes Of brown and tan
make 1t an ideal pattern for short or
