"The Wilfong Church." Four acres of land for church and
cemetery were purchased for one
shilling on October 1, 1794 from
German immigrant couple, Michael
and Sophia Wilfong. Historically and
locally known as "The Wilfong
Church" because of the patronage of
the Wilfong family and large number
of family members who attended the
church and are buried in the cemetery.

St. Michaels Lutheran Church. First St. Michaels Lutheran Church on
this site was a log structure built circa
1800; burned and rebuilt in 1921. It
served German speaking immigrants
who settled in area in mid-to-late 18th
century. Earliest record,in German, of
church service held here is January 1, 1807. Weekly services were held here
until 1974, before consolidation with
three other nearby Lutheran churches.
