The story of St John's Lutheran Church in Schubert. Before Beginning pg 1: Telling the story of St Johns factually is difficult...due to lack of local records... It is thought that the records from this era, which had been placed in the safe of the Schubert store [Uncle Martin written in the margin], were destroyed when fire razed this old community landmark.... Pg "2" The Struggle to Start 1843-1868" - Osage Point Church... Jan 5 1844... obtained 7.87 acres of the adjoing property from Lawrence (Lorenz) Shubert (Schubert) and his wife Catherine for the use of Osage Point Church... part of the property was used for a cemetery... located on the first road east of the present property, about .3 of a mile off Highway 50... a few stones remain...across the present road from this cemetery, is a clearing which is believed to be the site of the log building used as the Osage Point Church... the property on which it stood later was part of the Lorenz Schubert farm. In his will, dated Feb 4, 1868, Lorenz Schubert bequeathed "the logs and time in (the) house known as the old church house" to his son Henry."
Pg 2 "3" - Whatever "the old church house" was, it is certain that the Gospel was being proclaimed and the Sacraments administered in this commujnity during this period... service conducted on the farm now owned by Victor Schubert...
Pg 4 "3" - purchase of the present site of St John's in 1866... this plot of 4.45 acres had been sold to...to see to the erection of a house of worship for the Methodist Episcopal Church...sold this parcel of land to Lorenz Schubert, George Schuster and Albert Koehler, trustees for the Osage Point Church... On Feb 18, 1867, Lorenz Schubert and ... sold the property belonging to that church since 1844 to George Schubert for $166. [questions as to why both churches sold the large plot and moved to 4.45 acre tract were raised - Civil War may have played a part... it split Methodism for 16 yrs-no suitable explanation was given] For whatever reasons, the Osage Point Church had a new home.
"The Ripening Years 1869-1920" Since the pledge committee was successful in its efforts to raise funds, a March 3, 1889 meeting resolved to build a new church... the entire building will be a massive one... Mssrs ? Urban, H. Schubert, F Walther, M Weith, etc were to serve as the building committee. By Jan 2, 1890 the churchwas completed except [for some minor cleaning and installation of gutters, etc.]... the old church built around 1870 was used as a school house...
Notes: Cannot find any mention of Kunnigunda Schubert, age 7 in 1850 census, other than 1850 census.
