| Abstract | The housebarn that William Pelster built in Franklin County in the 1860s is one of the great treasures left to us by the first generation of German immigrants in America. The churches of these immigrants, like their houses, give rich testimony to the conditions of their lives and the values that guided them. Within a short radius of the Pelster housbarn there are churches that served all varieties of religious persuasion of the German settlers in Missouri. They preserve as well the styles and forms those Germans preferred for their churches from the mid-nineteenth century through the early twentieth century. |
