Cemetery Notes |
- It was first called the First Mennonite Church in 1917. Prior to this it had been called Eby's. Benjamin Eby's, Christian Eby's Berlin and East End. Worship was held in a log school house on the South East corner of the adjoining cemetery as early as 1811. In 1834 a substantial frame meeting house was built on the site of the present day church and the log school house was moved to Breslau where it was used as a school and meeting house. The frame meeting house was replaced with a brick edifice in 1902 which was enlarged in 1902, 1950 and 1985.
