NOTES
Additional Information:A Lutheran congregation was formed by a group of German immigrants in the settlement of Helenville in 1848 and a non-extant log church was constructed. In 1851, the church established a school. The log church was quickly outgrown and was soon replaced by a non-extant wood frame church named after St. Peter. Another larger wood frame church was constructed in its place in 1902. The congregation continues using the church to this day.
