According to the Mount Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church's 150th Anniversary Edition Booklet (1857-2007), stained glass window "F" in the church is inscribed - In Memoriam Billman Daniel and Catharine By the Family
The booklet contains color photographs of the windows with descriptions of each.
Set in a temple, window "F" is the first window that represents Jesus Christ as an adult during his mortal ministry. Known as "Christ the Counselor" among many in the church, this window has been misnamed. The S.S. Marshall Art Glass Company actually catalogued the window as "Christ the Consoler." This information was found on the contract signed by the church council and the art glass company. Regardless of the name of the window, Jesus is depicted tenderly holding a shepherd boy who is kneeling at the side of a seated Christ. The shepherd is noted to be wearing a royal blue tunic accented with a golden waist tie. Christ himself is adorned with a greenish tinted amber tunic and a red robe that has fallen from his shoulders. In the background, a window is surrounded by tan/brown-textured stonework. The Gothic theme is carried through the columns and the archway with a keystone. The shepherd's hat and staff sit upon the floor of the temple in the foreground.
