FORMER St. PETER'S CHURCH in Miltonsburg, Ohio, 2002
St.
Peter's Church in Miltonsburg
This photo of the St. Peter's German
Evangelical Protestant Church of Miltonsburg, Ohio was taken in November 12,
2002. The church replaced a wooden
church of the same name that was located at the site of the present Miltonsburg
Cemetery located about a quarter mile south of Miltonsburg. During much of its service-life the sermons
were delivered in the German language.
It ceased to function because the aging congregation was unable to
support it. St. Peters of Miltonsburg
joined two other churches in similar circumstances and consolidated to form the
Trinity United Church of Christ. The
other two churches were St. Peters of Lewisville
and St. John's (Middle Church) located between
Lewisville and Miltonsburg. The consolidation occurred in September of 1962.
The building pictured above is located at latitude N 39o 50.005' and
longitude W 081o 09.926'.
