Hullett Township, Con. 14 Lot 34

In 1852 James Veitch bought 132 acres from the Canada Company, but later in the same year he sold this land to John Plaetzer. On Nov. 4, 1872 (registered 4/12/1872) John Plaetzer et ux deeded ¾ acre to the trustees of the Evangelical Association of Hullett.

From a diary in the possession of Art Youngblut of Goderich we find that in 1910: May 8th, Rev. Holman preached his first sermon at the German Evangelical Church. He was the last minister to preach at the church.

1912: May 26th – the German Evangelical Church was closed.

1914: Nov. 24th – they moved the furnishings from the church.

The church was sold to Mr. Sam Keeny down the side road.

According to a booklet, The History of Hullett Township, 1848-1977, "this church was taken over by Council and cleaned up a few years ago. All the stones have been mounted on a cement platform." In this same booklet, the German Evangelical Church is incorrectly referred to as a Lutheran church. Presumably this error occurred because many of the stones are written in German dialect.

According to local people the records for this church were transferred to a church in the Sebringville area when the church closed. A local minister supplied the information that the archives of former Evangelical Association churches is presently (1982) found at Zion Church, Weber Street, Kitchener, Ontario.
