Marker Text:
Organized 1729, this is one of the early Lutheran churches founded by Rev. John Caspar Stoever, Jr., who started the parish records in 1730. A log church, erected before 1749, was replaced by the present stone building in 1809. Since 1853, Lutheran and Reformed services have been held here.
I could not find any more info about this church or Rev. John Caspar Stoever, Jr. Everything I found is what's already on the sign.
