Koehler's Index: 597. 1862, April 25, sent from Clayton Centre, Iowa, by the church council to Bading. Senden Gemeindeordnung und bitten um Pastor. Mit Pastor Schulz war es nichts, der war nicht zum Pastoramt vorgebildet. Sie hätten gerne einen verheirateten Mann. Die Gemeinde ist noch jung, gehört zu keiner Synode, hat sich nur vor kurzem vergeblich auf Schulz Rat an Ohio gewendet.

(Send church bylaws and ask for pastor. It was nothing with Pastor Schulz, he was not trained for the pastorate. You would like a married man. The congregation is still young, does not belong to any synod, and only recently turned to Ohio on Schulz's advice in vain.)
