"Lutheran and Reformed Church of Freeburg"--These distinct congregations erected a Union Church at Freeburg in 1812. The history of each will here be given in connection with the church building.
"On the Morr farm, now owned by Augustus Springman, our forefathers worshipped in a private log house long before a church was erected. In 1770 a patent was granted to Andrew Morr, Casper Roush, a soldier in the Revolutionary war, and Peter Straub, for forty-two acres of land one mile north of Freeburg, for the use of the Lutheran Church. On this land they built a log school-house, which was also used for a church for seventeen years. About six acres of this land is still owned by the Lutheran congregation at Freeburg, and an old cemetery, which has been recently newly fenced and cleared is on a part of this land."In 1787 the Lutherans commenced building a church on the grounds, called Zion's Church, but never finished it. In this church they worshipped twenty-eight years. Pewter Flagon and Chalice was donated by Andreas and Catharina E. Morr on 29 July 1795
