1874 St Paul's Lutheran Church Although the first Lutheran family settled in this vicinity in 1800, it wasn't until 30 years later the Reverend John William Heim occasionally visited home and village schoolhouse. In 1844 a dozen Lutherans united in organizing what is now our congregation and invited the Reverend Levi T. Williams of Petersburg (now Duncannon) to preach in English and become the first regular pastor. In 1846 the Union Church Building [2nd & Walnut] was built and used jointly by Lutherans, Reformeds and Presbyterians. By 1873 the Presbyterians purchased the Lutherans share of the Union Church Building for $2,380 and the presnt church [St. Paul's] was dedicated in 1874.
