REV. SCHWAN'S DIARIES #2, #3, #4, #5
In
1872 & 1873 Rev. Christian Schwan founded churches in Romeo and
Capac, MI. It was then he began the practice of writing in his
journals. He continued to write in his journals until he retired in
1897. He was the first Pastor of St. James Lutheran Church, at Moltke,
MI. He wrote with great detail about each of his mission stops
recording services, births, confirmations, those he communed, offerings
given, marriages and deaths. These, of course, were all written in
German and now translated into English.
