The early settlers in this township were Lutherans to whom Rev. Gabriel A. Raichert occasionally preached in private homes, barns, and groves. In Feb 1824 he organized the Limestone Evangeligal Lutheran Church of which John Christman and Michael Fair were first elders. They and their wives, Peter & Susanna Fair and others were t the first members. The name of the church was changed to St. Marks in 1855.
