CONGREGATIONAL HISTORY:  Pastor Schuerman wrote to Dr. Sihler in Ft. Wayne, a Lutheran pastor who was later prominent in the organization of the Missouri Synod, informing him of the plight of White Creek.  Before Sihler responded, Rev. Suhr, of the Walnut Street Protestant Church in Cincinnati, of whose church most of the people here had been members during their brief stay in Cincinnati, sent Candidate Fick, a consecrated Lutheran pastor, who had just come over from Germany.
