| Additional Information: | Early German settlers founded St. Lawrence Catholic parish in 1846 and built a non-extant log church, non-extant log school, and cemetery on the side of a long sloping hill east of the City of Jefferson donated by John Haas. A brick church was constructed in 1862 to replace the original log church. The parish continues to utilize the church to this day. A brick rectory was constructed across the road from the church in 1894. 2 STORY PORCH W/ROUND ARCHES ON 1ST FLR. 2ND STORY OF PORCH LATER ADDITION. |
