Zion Lutheran Church dates to 1829 when Abraham Smutz and his family sold land to a\n        group of church trustees. This land contained a house that the deed required to be used as a\n        school and church for any denomination. Mt. Zion’s Lutheran congregation met there twice a\n        month during the 1870s.","In 1884 the Lutherans in the area began work on their own church building beside the Union\n        church. The area surrounding the new church had previously been dedicated as a cemetery and\n        the first burials at the site occurred in 1882.","In 1895 Mt. Zion Lutheran Church joined with St. Luke Lutheran Church to form a new parish.\n        The coordination would last, with a few interruptions, to this day. In 1898 the two\n        congregations joined with Lebanon Lutheran Church in the north end of the county to form an\n        expanded parish. Since transportation was primitive the minister’s time at each church was\n        limited. Mt. Zion hosted the minister on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Sundays.","In 1908 a narthex and belfry was added to the church. The membership of the church numbered\n        156 adults in 1912. Other changes occurred over the next several decades as modern utilities\n        came to the area. In 1925 electricity was added to the church’s parsonage. During the next\n        decade a sink and water pump were also added. Finally, the church’s first bathroom with\n        indoor plumbing was installed in 1943. ","In 1948 when the church replaced the dual entrances and aisles, originally designed to\n        segregate men and women, with a single entrance. During the project the church also added a\n        large altar picture featuring Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane to honor members who had\n        fought in World War II. When these changes were dedicated in 1949, the church listed 150\n        communing members. The final major renovation to the church occurred in 1980-1981 when a\n        social hall and parking lot was added.","In the decades that followed, the make-up of the Lutheran Parish to which Mt. Zion belonged\n        changed drastically. Lebanon Church left the parish in 1969 when the other churches voted to\n        realign the parish to include only two churches. This parish alignment would last until\n        1988, when Mt. Zion decided to become a one-church parish. However, the church was unable to\n        support a minister on its own. In Mt. Zion and St. Luke rejoined in 2015 and continue to\n        operate as a dual parish today.","38758101567070 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567088 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567096 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567104 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567112 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567120 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567138 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567146 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567310 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567153 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567161 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567179 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567187 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567195 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567591 Map Case Drawer E, Folder 11","38758101567583 Map Case Drawer E, Folder 12","38758101567203 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567211 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567229 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567237 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567245 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567252 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567260 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567575","38758101567286 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567294 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567302 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567328 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567336 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567344 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567351 Stack 10, Shelf 3","...","Items were acquired in a semi-processed state from the church.

In 1925 electricity was added to the church’s parsonage. During the next\n        decade a sink and water pump were also added.

Zion’s Lutheran congregation met there twice a\n        month during the 1870s.","In 1884 the Lutherans in the area began work on their own church building beside the Union\n        church. The area surrounding the new church had previously been dedicated as a cemetery and\n        the first burials at the site occurred in 1882.","In 1895 Mt. Zion Lutheran Church joined with St. Luke Lutheran Church to form a new parish.\n        The coordination would last, with a few interruptions, to this day. In 1898 the two\n        congregations joined with Lebanon Lutheran Church in the north end of the county to form an\n        expanded parish. Since transportation was primitive the minister’s time at each church was\n        limited. Mt. Zion hosted the minister on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Sundays.","In 1908 a narthex and belfry was added to the church. The membership of the church numbered\n        156 adults in 1912. Other changes occurred over the next several decades as modern utilities\n        came to the area. In 1925 electricity was added to the church’s parsonage. During the next\n        decade a sink and water pump were also added. Finally, the church’s first bathroom with\n        indoor plumbing was installed in 1943. ","In 1948 when the church replaced the dual entrances and aisles, originally designed to\n        segregate men and women, with a single entrance. During the project the church also added a\n        large altar picture featuring Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane to honor members who had\n        fought in World War II. When these changes were dedicated in 1949, the church listed 150\n        communing members. The final major renovation to the church occurred in 1980-1981 when a\n        social hall and parking lot was added.","In the decades that followed, the make-up of the Lutheran Parish to which Mt. Zion belonged\n        changed drastically. Lebanon Church left the parish in 1969 when the other churches voted to\n        realign the parish to include only two churches. This parish alignment would last until\n        1988, when Mt. Zion decided to become a one-church parish. However, the church was unable to\n        support a minister on its own. In Mt. Zion and St. Luke rejoined in 2015 and continue to\n        operate as a dual parish today."],"note_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e38758101567070 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567088 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567096 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567104 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567112 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567120 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567138 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567146 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567310 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567153 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567161 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567179 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567187 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567195 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567591 Map Case Drawer E, Folder 11\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567583 Map Case Drawer E, Folder 12\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567203 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567211 Stack 10, Shelf 2\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567229 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567237 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567245 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567252 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567260 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567575\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567286 Stack 10, Shelf 2\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567294 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567302 Stack 10, Shelf 2\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567328 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567336 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567344 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567351 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e"],"note_tesim":["38758101567070 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567088 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567096 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567104 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567112 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567120 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567138 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567146 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567310 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567153 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567161 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567179 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567187 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567195 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567591 Map Case Drawer E, Folder 11","38758101567583 Map Case Drawer E, Folder 12","38758101567203 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567211 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567229 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567237 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567245 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567252 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567260 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567575","38758101567286 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567294 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567302 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567328 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567336 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567344 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567351 Stack 10, Shelf 3"],"odd_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e...\u003c/p\u003e"],"odd_heading_ssm":["Rights Statement for Archival Description"],"odd_tesim":["..."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e[Identification of item] Mt.

Myers). The letters in this collection pertain to the purchase of\n        Columbia Furnace. Samuel B. Myers (the husband of Elizabeth Wissler, the niece of John\n        Wissler) sold the property to John Wissler. John and his family moved from Canada to\n        Virginia. Columbia Furnace soon became a successful iron production business.","At the start of the Civil War, John Wissler and his family fled the area for Canada, due to\n        their Republican political views. They returned after the war ended. John Wissler died in\n        1880, but his family continued running Columbia Furnace.","Under the Wissler family’s direction both Columbia and Liberty Furnace (which the family\n        also owned and operated) grew until over 300 persons were employed there. They were\n        responsible for mining ore, refining it, transporting it to rail centers, harvesting lumber\n        to feed the furnaces, and maintaining a wide array of company structures. From this time\n        onward the operations at the furnaces would be economic center of this area of Shenandoah\n        County.","Unfortunately, it also led to some problems as locals clashed with individuals brought in\n        to fill vacancies, especially when the company began to hire African Americans. In January\n        of 1880 a race riot broke out and the owners and black workers were attacked. This two day\n        event ended when the Wisslers agreed to hire only white workers. This eliminated a major\n        employment source for local African Americans and forced many to emigrate or settle for\n        lower paying service jobs.","In 1884 a group of Philadelphia businessmen purchased the furnaces and named it Columbia\n        Liberty Iron Company. They continued both operations until 1891 when the company was sold\n        again to H.H. Yard of Philadelphia. He closed the Columbia Furnace and built a narrow gauge\n        railroad, nicknamed the “Dinky” to haul the ore produced and goods to the furnaces and\n        surrounding communities.","However, making a profit proved to be difficult. Legal battles between Yard and the\n        previous owners compounded the sites problems. In 1905 the company was again sold and\n        reorganized as the Shenandoah Iron and Coal Company who hoped to turn a profit by\n        modernizing operations. Their efforts proved to be unsuccessful and the furnace the closed\n        in 1907 and the land sold to Joseph T. Jackson who used the railroad to transport lumber\n        from the area. It closed in 1917 after the area hills had been stripped.","The Guide to the Wissler Letters Collection is licensed under a\n          Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International license. ","Items were sorted and then processed chronologically. Each item was sorted with a copy of\n          its transcript. ","The Wissler Letters Collection consists of 1 box of letters produced by members of the\n        Wissler family and other Wissler family materials. The letters span the dates 1856-1881 and\n        primarily deal with operations of the family’s iron furnaces, including several in\n        Shenandoah County Va.

Zion Lutheran Church dates to 1829 when Abraham Smutz and his family sold land to a\n        group of church trustees. This land contained a house that the deed required to be used as a\n        school and church for any denomination. Mt. Zion’s Lutheran congregation met there twice a\n        month during the 1870s.","In 1884 the Lutherans in the area began work on their own church building beside the Union\n        church. The area surrounding the new church had previously been dedicated as a cemetery and\n        the first burials at the site occurred in 1882.","In 1895 Mt. Zion Lutheran Church joined with St. Luke Lutheran Church to form a new parish.\n        The coordination would last, with a few interruptions, to this day. In 1898 the two\n        congregations joined with Lebanon Lutheran Church in the north end of the county to form an\n        expanded parish. Since transportation was primitive the minister’s time at each church was\n        limited. Mt. Zion hosted the minister on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Sundays.","In 1908 a narthex and belfry was added to the church. The membership of the church numbered\n        156 adults in 1912. Other changes occurred over the next several decades as modern utilities\n        came to the area. In 1925 electricity was added to the church’s parsonage. During the next\n        decade a sink and water pump were also added. Finally, the church’s first bathroom with\n        indoor plumbing was installed in 1943. ","In 1948 when the church replaced the dual entrances and aisles, originally designed to\n        segregate men and women, with a single entrance. During the project the church also added a\n        large altar picture featuring Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane to honor members who had\n        fought in World War II. When these changes were dedicated in 1949, the church listed 150\n        communing members. The final major renovation to the church occurred in 1980-1981 when a\n        social hall and parking lot was added.","In the decades that followed, the make-up of the Lutheran Parish to which Mt. Zion belonged\n        changed drastically. Lebanon Church left the parish in 1969 when the other churches voted to\n        realign the parish to include only two churches. This parish alignment would last until\n        1988, when Mt. Zion decided to become a one-church parish. However, the church was unable to\n        support a minister on its own. In Mt. Zion and St. Luke rejoined in 2015 and continue to\n        operate as a dual parish today.","38758101567070 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567088 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567096 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567104 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567112 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567120 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567138 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567146 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567310 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567153 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567161 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567179 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567187 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567195 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567591 Map Case Drawer E, Folder 11","38758101567583 Map Case Drawer E, Folder 12","38758101567203 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567211 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567229 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567237 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567245 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567252 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567260 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567575","38758101567286 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567294 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567302 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567328 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567336 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567344 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567351 Stack 10, Shelf 3","...","Items were acquired in a semi-processed state from the church.

Zion Lutheran Church dates to 1829 when Abraham Smutz and his family sold land to a\n        group of church trustees. This land contained a house that the deed required to be used as a\n        school and church for any denomination. Mt.

Zion Lutheran Church joined with St. Luke Lutheran Church to form a new parish.\n        The coordination would last, with a few interruptions, to this day. In 1898 the two\n        congregations joined with Lebanon Lutheran Church in the north end of the county to form an\n        expanded parish. Since transportation was primitive the minister’s time at each church was\n        limited. Mt.

In 1925 electricity was added to the church’s parsonage. During the next\n        decade a sink and water pump were also added.

Zion Lutheran Church dates to 1829 when Abraham Smutz and his family sold land to a\n        group of church trustees. This land contained a house that the deed required to be used as a\n        school and church for any denomination. Mt. Zion’s Lutheran congregation met there twice a\n        month during the 1870s.","In 1884 the Lutherans in the area began work on their own church building beside the Union\n        church. The area surrounding the new church had previously been dedicated as a cemetery and\n        the first burials at the site occurred in 1882.","In 1895 Mt. Zion Lutheran Church joined with St. Luke Lutheran Church to form a new parish.\n        The coordination would last, with a few interruptions, to this day. In 1898 the two\n        congregations joined with Lebanon Lutheran Church in the north end of the county to form an\n        expanded parish. Since transportation was primitive the minister’s time at each church was\n        limited. Mt. Zion hosted the minister on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Sundays.","In 1908 a narthex and belfry was added to the church. The membership of the church numbered\n        156 adults in 1912. Other changes occurred over the next several decades as modern utilities\n        came to the area. In 1925 electricity was added to the church’s parsonage. During the next\n        decade a sink and water pump were also added. Finally, the church’s first bathroom with\n        indoor plumbing was installed in 1943. ","In 1948 when the church replaced the dual entrances and aisles, originally designed to\n        segregate men and women, with a single entrance. During the project the church also added a\n        large altar picture featuring Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane to honor members who had\n        fought in World War II. When these changes were dedicated in 1949, the church listed 150\n        communing members. The final major renovation to the church occurred in 1980-1981 when a\n        social hall and parking lot was added.","In the decades that followed, the make-up of the Lutheran Parish to which Mt.

Zion Lutheran Church dates to 1829 when Abraham Smutz and his family sold land to a\n        group of church trustees. This land contained a house that the deed required to be used as a\n        school and church for any denomination. Mt. Zion’s Lutheran congregation met there twice a\n        month during the 1870s.","In 1884 the Lutherans in the area began work on their own church building beside the Union\n        church. The area surrounding the new church had previously been dedicated as a cemetery and\n        the first burials at the site occurred in 1882.","In 1895 Mt. Zion Lutheran Church joined with St. Luke Lutheran Church to form a new parish.\n        The coordination would last, with a few interruptions, to this day. In 1898 the two\n        congregations joined with Lebanon Lutheran Church in the north end of the county to form an\n        expanded parish. Since transportation was primitive the minister’s time at each church was\n        limited. Mt. Zion hosted the minister on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Sundays.","In 1908 a narthex and belfry was added to the church. The membership of the church numbered\n        156 adults in 1912. Other changes occurred over the next several decades as modern utilities\n        came to the area. In 1925 electricity was added to the church’s parsonage. During the next\n        decade a sink and water pump were also added. Finally, the church’s first bathroom with\n        indoor plumbing was installed in 1943. ","In 1948 when the church replaced the dual entrances and aisles, originally designed to\n        segregate men and women, with a single entrance. During the project the church also added a\n        large altar picture featuring Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane to honor members who had\n        fought in World War II. When these changes were dedicated in 1949, the church listed 150\n        communing members. The final major renovation to the church occurred in 1980-1981 when a\n        social hall and parking lot was added.","In the decades that followed, the make-up of the Lutheran Parish to which Mt. Zion belonged\n        changed drastically. Lebanon Church left the parish in 1969 when the other churches voted to\n        realign the parish to include only two churches. This parish alignment would last until\n        1988, when Mt. Zion decided to become a one-church parish. However, the church was unable to\n        support a minister on its own. In Mt. Zion and St. Luke rejoined in 2015 and continue to\n        operate as a dual parish today.","38758101567070 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567088 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567096 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567104 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567112 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567120 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567138 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567146 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567310 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567153 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567161 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567179 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567187 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567195 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567591 Map Case Drawer E, Folder 11","38758101567583 Map Case Drawer E, Folder 12","38758101567203 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567211 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567229 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567237 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567245 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567252 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567260 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567575","38758101567286 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567294 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567302 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567328 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567336 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567344 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567351 Stack 10, Shelf 3","...","Items were acquired in a semi-processed state from the church.

Zion Lutheran Church dates to 1829 when Abraham Smutz and his family sold land to a\n        group of church trustees. This land contained a house that the deed required to be used as a\n        school and church for any denomination. Mt. Zion’s Lutheran congregation met there twice a\n        month during the 1870s.","In 1884 the Lutherans in the area began work on their own church building beside the Union\n        church. The area surrounding the new church had previously been dedicated as a cemetery and\n        the first burials at the site occurred in 1882.","In 1895 Mt. Zion Lutheran Church joined with St. Luke Lutheran Church to form a new parish.\n        The coordination would last, with a few interruptions, to this day. In 1898 the two\n        congregations joined with Lebanon Lutheran Church in the north end of the county to form an\n        expanded parish. Since transportation was primitive the minister’s time at each church was\n        limited. Mt. Zion hosted the minister on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Sundays.","In 1908 a narthex and belfry was added to the church. The membership of the church numbered\n        156 adults in 1912. Other changes occurred over the next several decades as modern utilities\n        came to the area. In 1925 electricity was added to the church’s parsonage. During the next\n        decade a sink and water pump were also added. Finally, the church’s first bathroom with\n        indoor plumbing was installed in 1943. ","In 1948 when the church replaced the dual entrances and aisles, originally designed to\n        segregate men and women, with a single entrance. During the project the church also added a\n        large altar picture featuring Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane to honor members who had\n        fought in World War II. When these changes were dedicated in 1949, the church listed 150\n        communing members. The final major renovation to the church occurred in 1980-1981 when a\n        social hall and parking lot was added.","In the decades that followed, the make-up of the Lutheran Parish to which Mt. Zion belonged\n        changed drastically. Lebanon Church left the parish in 1969 when the other churches voted to\n        realign the parish to include only two churches. This parish alignment would last until\n        1988, when Mt. Zion decided to become a one-church parish. However, the church was unable to\n        support a minister on its own. In Mt. Zion and St. Luke rejoined in 2015 and continue to\n        operate as a dual parish today.","38758101567070 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567088 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567096 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567104 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567112 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567120 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567138 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567146 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567310 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567153 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567161 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567179 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567187 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567195 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567591 Map Case Drawer E, Folder 11","38758101567583 Map Case Drawer E, Folder 12","38758101567203 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567211 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567229 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567237 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567245 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567252 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567260 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567575","38758101567286 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567294 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567302 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567328 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567336 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567344 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567351 Stack 10, Shelf 3","...","Items were acquired in a semi-processed state from the church.

In 1925 electricity was added to the church’s parsonage. During the next\n        decade a sink and water pump were also added.

Zion’s Lutheran congregation met there twice a\n        month during the 1870s.","In 1884 the Lutherans in the area began work on their own church building beside the Union\n        church. The area surrounding the new church had previously been dedicated as a cemetery and\n        the first burials at the site occurred in 1882.","In 1895 Mt. Zion Lutheran Church joined with St. Luke Lutheran Church to form a new parish.\n        The coordination would last, with a few interruptions, to this day. In 1898 the two\n        congregations joined with Lebanon Lutheran Church in the north end of the county to form an\n        expanded parish. Since transportation was primitive the minister’s time at each church was\n        limited. Mt. Zion hosted the minister on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Sundays.","In 1908 a narthex and belfry was added to the church. The membership of the church numbered\n        156 adults in 1912. Other changes occurred over the next several decades as modern utilities\n        came to the area. In 1925 electricity was added to the church’s parsonage. During the next\n        decade a sink and water pump were also added. Finally, the church’s first bathroom with\n        indoor plumbing was installed in 1943. ","In 1948 when the church replaced the dual entrances and aisles, originally designed to\n        segregate men and women, with a single entrance. During the project the church also added a\n        large altar picture featuring Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane to honor members who had\n        fought in World War II. When these changes were dedicated in 1949, the church listed 150\n        communing members. The final major renovation to the church occurred in 1980-1981 when a\n        social hall and parking lot was added.","In the decades that followed, the make-up of the Lutheran Parish to which Mt. Zion belonged\n        changed drastically. Lebanon Church left the parish in 1969 when the other churches voted to\n        realign the parish to include only two churches. This parish alignment would last until\n        1988, when Mt. Zion decided to become a one-church parish. However, the church was unable to\n        support a minister on its own. In Mt. Zion and St. Luke rejoined in 2015 and continue to\n        operate as a dual parish today."],"note_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e38758101567070 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567088 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567096 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567104 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567112 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567120 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567138 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567146 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567310 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567153 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567161 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567179 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567187 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567195 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567591 Map Case Drawer E, Folder 11\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567583 Map Case Drawer E, Folder 12\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567203 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567211 Stack 10, Shelf 2\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567229 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567237 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567245 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567252 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567260 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567575\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567286 Stack 10, Shelf 2\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567294 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567302 Stack 10, Shelf 2\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567328 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567336 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567344 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567351 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e"],"note_tesim":["38758101567070 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567088 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567096 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567104 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567112 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567120 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567138 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567146 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567310 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567153 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567161 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567179 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567187 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567195 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567591 Map Case Drawer E, Folder 11","38758101567583 Map Case Drawer E, Folder 12","38758101567203 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567211 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567229 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567237 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567245 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567252 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567260 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567575","38758101567286 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567294 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567302 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567328 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567336 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567344 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567351 Stack 10, Shelf 3"],"odd_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e...\u003c/p\u003e"],"odd_heading_ssm":["Rights Statement for Archival Description"],"odd_tesim":["..."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e[Identification of item] Mt.

Zion Lutheran Church dates to 1829 when Abraham Smutz and his family sold land to a\n        group of church trustees. This land contained a house that the deed required to be used as a\n        school and church for any denomination. Mt. Zion’s Lutheran congregation met there twice a\n        month during the 1870s.","In 1884 the Lutherans in the area began work on their own church building beside the Union\n        church. The area surrounding the new church had previously been dedicated as a cemetery and\n        the first burials at the site occurred in 1882.","In 1895 Mt. Zion Lutheran Church joined with St. Luke Lutheran Church to form a new parish.\n        The coordination would last, with a few interruptions, to this day. In 1898 the two\n        congregations joined with Lebanon Lutheran Church in the north end of the county to form an\n        expanded parish. Since transportation was primitive the minister’s time at each church was\n        limited. Mt. Zion hosted the minister on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Sundays.","In 1908 a narthex and belfry was added to the church. The membership of the church numbered\n        156 adults in 1912. Other changes occurred over the next several decades as modern utilities\n        came to the area. In 1925 electricity was added to the church’s parsonage. During the next\n        decade a sink and water pump were also added. Finally, the church’s first bathroom with\n        indoor plumbing was installed in 1943. ","In 1948 when the church replaced the dual entrances and aisles, originally designed to\n        segregate men and women, with a single entrance. During the project the church also added a\n        large altar picture featuring Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane to honor members who had\n        fought in World War II. When these changes were dedicated in 1949, the church listed 150\n        communing members. The final major renovation to the church occurred in 1980-1981 when a\n        social hall and parking lot was added.","In the decades that followed, the make-up of the Lutheran Parish to which Mt. Zion belonged\n        changed drastically. Lebanon Church left the parish in 1969 when the other churches voted to\n        realign the parish to include only two churches. This parish alignment would last until\n        1988, when Mt. Zion decided to become a one-church parish. However, the church was unable to\n        support a minister on its own. In Mt. Zion and St. Luke rejoined in 2015 and continue to\n        operate as a dual parish today.","38758101567070 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567088 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567096 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567104 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567112 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567120 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567138 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567146 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567310 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567153 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567161 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567179 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567187 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567195 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567591 Map Case Drawer E, Folder 11","38758101567583 Map Case Drawer E, Folder 12","38758101567203 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567211 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567229 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567237 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567245 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567252 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567260 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567575","38758101567286 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567294 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567302 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567328 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567336 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567344 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567351 Stack 10, Shelf 3","...","Items were acquired in a semi-processed state from the church.

Zion Lutheran Church dates to 1829 when Abraham Smutz and his family sold land to a\n        group of church trustees. This land contained a house that the deed required to be used as a\n        school and church for any denomination. Mt. Zion’s Lutheran congregation met there twice a\n        month during the 1870s.","In 1884 the Lutherans in the area began work on their own church building beside the Union\n        church. The area surrounding the new church had previously been dedicated as a cemetery and\n        the first burials at the site occurred in 1882.","In 1895 Mt. Zion Lutheran Church joined with St. Luke Lutheran Church to form a new parish.\n        The coordination would last, with a few interruptions, to this day. In 1898 the two\n        congregations joined with Lebanon Lutheran Church in the north end of the county to form an\n        expanded parish. Since transportation was primitive the minister’s time at each church was\n        limited. Mt. Zion hosted the minister on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Sundays.","In 1908 a narthex and belfry was added to the church. The membership of the church numbered\n        156 adults in 1912. Other changes occurred over the next several decades as modern utilities\n        came to the area. In 1925 electricity was added to the church’s parsonage. During the next\n        decade a sink and water pump were also added. Finally, the church’s first bathroom with\n        indoor plumbing was installed in 1943. ","In 1948 when the church replaced the dual entrances and aisles, originally designed to\n        segregate men and women, with a single entrance. During the project the church also added a\n        large altar picture featuring Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane to honor members who had\n        fought in World War II. When these changes were dedicated in 1949, the church listed 150\n        communing members. The final major renovation to the church occurred in 1980-1981 when a\n        social hall and parking lot was added.","In the decades that followed, the make-up of the Lutheran Parish to which Mt. Zion belonged\n        changed drastically. Lebanon Church left the parish in 1969 when the other churches voted to\n        realign the parish to include only two churches. This parish alignment would last until\n        1988, when Mt. Zion decided to become a one-church parish. However, the church was unable to\n        support a minister on its own. In Mt. Zion and St. Luke rejoined in 2015 and continue to\n        operate as a dual parish today.","38758101567070 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567088 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567096 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567104 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567112 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567120 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567138 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567146 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567310 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567153 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567161 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567179 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567187 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567195 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567591 Map Case Drawer E, Folder 11","38758101567583 Map Case Drawer E, Folder 12","38758101567203 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567211 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567229 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567237 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567245 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567252 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567260 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567575","38758101567286 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567294 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567302 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567328 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567336 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567344 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567351 Stack 10, Shelf 3","...","Items were acquired in a semi-processed state from the church.

In 1925 electricity was added to the church’s parsonage. During the next\n        decade a sink and water pump were also added.

Zion’s Lutheran congregation met there twice a\n        month during the 1870s.","In 1884 the Lutherans in the area began work on their own church building beside the Union\n        church. The area surrounding the new church had previously been dedicated as a cemetery and\n        the first burials at the site occurred in 1882.","In 1895 Mt. Zion Lutheran Church joined with St. Luke Lutheran Church to form a new parish.\n        The coordination would last, with a few interruptions, to this day. In 1898 the two\n        congregations joined with Lebanon Lutheran Church in the north end of the county to form an\n        expanded parish. Since transportation was primitive the minister’s time at each church was\n        limited. Mt. Zion hosted the minister on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Sundays.","In 1908 a narthex and belfry was added to the church. The membership of the church numbered\n        156 adults in 1912. Other changes occurred over the next several decades as modern utilities\n        came to the area. In 1925 electricity was added to the church’s parsonage. During the next\n        decade a sink and water pump were also added. Finally, the church’s first bathroom with\n        indoor plumbing was installed in 1943. ","In 1948 when the church replaced the dual entrances and aisles, originally designed to\n        segregate men and women, with a single entrance. During the project the church also added a\n        large altar picture featuring Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane to honor members who had\n        fought in World War II. When these changes were dedicated in 1949, the church listed 150\n        communing members. The final major renovation to the church occurred in 1980-1981 when a\n        social hall and parking lot was added.","In the decades that followed, the make-up of the Lutheran Parish to which Mt. Zion belonged\n        changed drastically. Lebanon Church left the parish in 1969 when the other churches voted to\n        realign the parish to include only two churches. This parish alignment would last until\n        1988, when Mt. Zion decided to become a one-church parish. However, the church was unable to\n        support a minister on its own. In Mt. Zion and St. Luke rejoined in 2015 and continue to\n        operate as a dual parish today."],"note_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e38758101567070 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567088 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567096 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567104 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567112 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567120 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567138 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567146 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567310 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567153 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567161 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567179 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567187 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567195 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567591 Map Case Drawer E, Folder 11\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567583 Map Case Drawer E, Folder 12\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567203 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567211 Stack 10, Shelf 2\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567229 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567237 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567245 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567252 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567260 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567575\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567286 Stack 10, Shelf 2\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567294 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567302 Stack 10, Shelf 2\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567328 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567336 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567344 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567351 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e"],"note_tesim":["38758101567070 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567088 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567096 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567104 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567112 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567120 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567138 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567146 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567310 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567153 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567161 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567179 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567187 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567195 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567591 Map Case Drawer E, Folder 11","38758101567583 Map Case Drawer E, Folder 12","38758101567203 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567211 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567229 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567237 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567245 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567252 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567260 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567575","38758101567286 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567294 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567302 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567328 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567336 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567344 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567351 Stack 10, Shelf 3"],"odd_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e...\u003c/p\u003e"],"odd_heading_ssm":["Rights Statement for Archival Description"],"odd_tesim":["..."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e[Identification of item] Mt.

Zion Lutheran Church dates to 1829 when Abraham Smutz and his family sold land to a\n        group of church trustees. This land contained a house that the deed required to be used as a\n        school and church for any denomination. Mt. Zion’s Lutheran congregation met there twice a\n        month during the 1870s.","In 1884 the Lutherans in the area began work on their own church building beside the Union\n        church. The area surrounding the new church had previously been dedicated as a cemetery and\n        the first burials at the site occurred in 1882.","In 1895 Mt. Zion Lutheran Church joined with St. Luke Lutheran Church to form a new parish.\n        The coordination would last, with a few interruptions, to this day. In 1898 the two\n        congregations joined with Lebanon Lutheran Church in the north end of the county to form an\n        expanded parish. Since transportation was primitive the minister’s time at each church was\n        limited. Mt. Zion hosted the minister on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Sundays.","In 1908 a narthex and belfry was added to the church. The membership of the church numbered\n        156 adults in 1912. Other changes occurred over the next several decades as modern utilities\n        came to the area. In 1925 electricity was added to the church’s parsonage. During the next\n        decade a sink and water pump were also added. Finally, the church’s first bathroom with\n        indoor plumbing was installed in 1943. ","In 1948 when the church replaced the dual entrances and aisles, originally designed to\n        segregate men and women, with a single entrance. During the project the church also added a\n        large altar picture featuring Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane to honor members who had\n        fought in World War II. When these changes were dedicated in 1949, the church listed 150\n        communing members. The final major renovation to the church occurred in 1980-1981 when a\n        social hall and parking lot was added.","In the decades that followed, the make-up of the Lutheran Parish to which Mt. Zion belonged\n        changed drastically. Lebanon Church left the parish in 1969 when the other churches voted to\n        realign the parish to include only two churches. This parish alignment would last until\n        1988, when Mt. Zion decided to become a one-church parish. However, the church was unable to\n        support a minister on its own. In Mt. Zion and St. Luke rejoined in 2015 and continue to\n        operate as a dual parish today.","38758101567070 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567088 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567096 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567104 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567112 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567120 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567138 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567146 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567310 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567153 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567161 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567179 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567187 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567195 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567591 Map Case Drawer E, Folder 11","38758101567583 Map Case Drawer E, Folder 12","38758101567203 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567211 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567229 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567237 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567245 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567252 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567260 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567575","38758101567286 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567294 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567302 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567328 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567336 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567344 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567351 Stack 10, Shelf 3","...","Items were acquired in a semi-processed state from the church.

Zion Lutheran Church dates to 1829 when Abraham Smutz and his family sold land to a\n        group of church trustees. This land contained a house that the deed required to be used as a\n        school and church for any denomination. Mt. Zion’s Lutheran congregation met there twice a\n        month during the 1870s.","In 1884 the Lutherans in the area began work on their own church building beside the Union\n        church. The area surrounding the new church had previously been dedicated as a cemetery and\n        the first burials at the site occurred in 1882.","In 1895 Mt. Zion Lutheran Church joined with St. Luke Lutheran Church to form a new parish.\n        The coordination would last, with a few interruptions, to this day. In 1898 the two\n        congregations joined with Lebanon Lutheran Church in the north end of the county to form an\n        expanded parish. Since transportation was primitive the minister’s time at each church was\n        limited. Mt. Zion hosted the minister on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Sundays.","In 1908 a narthex and belfry was added to the church. The membership of the church numbered\n        156 adults in 1912. Other changes occurred over the next several decades as modern utilities\n        came to the area. In 1925 electricity was added to the church’s parsonage. During the next\n        decade a sink and water pump were also added. Finally, the church’s first bathroom with\n        indoor plumbing was installed in 1943. ","In 1948 when the church replaced the dual entrances and aisles, originally designed to\n        segregate men and women, with a single entrance. During the project the church also added a\n        large altar picture featuring Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane to honor members who had\n        fought in World War II. When these changes were dedicated in 1949, the church listed 150\n        communing members. The final major renovation to the church occurred in 1980-1981 when a\n        social hall and parking lot was added.","In the decades that followed, the make-up of the Lutheran Parish to which Mt. Zion belonged\n        changed drastically. Lebanon Church left the parish in 1969 when the other churches voted to\n        realign the parish to include only two churches. This parish alignment would last until\n        1988, when Mt. Zion decided to become a one-church parish. However, the church was unable to\n        support a minister on its own. In Mt. Zion and St. Luke rejoined in 2015 and continue to\n        operate as a dual parish today.","38758101567070 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567088 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567096 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567104 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567112 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567120 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567138 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567146 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567310 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567153 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567161 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567179 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567187 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567195 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567591 Map Case Drawer E, Folder 11","38758101567583 Map Case Drawer E, Folder 12","38758101567203 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567211 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567229 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567237 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567245 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567252 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567260 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567575","38758101567286 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567294 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567302 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567328 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567336 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567344 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567351 Stack 10, Shelf 3","...","Items were acquired in a semi-processed state from the church.

In 1925 electricity was added to the church’s parsonage. During the next\n        decade a sink and water pump were also added.

Zion’s Lutheran congregation met there twice a\n        month during the 1870s.","In 1884 the Lutherans in the area began work on their own church building beside the Union\n        church. The area surrounding the new church had previously been dedicated as a cemetery and\n        the first burials at the site occurred in 1882.","In 1895 Mt. Zion Lutheran Church joined with St. Luke Lutheran Church to form a new parish.\n        The coordination would last, with a few interruptions, to this day. In 1898 the two\n        congregations joined with Lebanon Lutheran Church in the north end of the county to form an\n        expanded parish. Since transportation was primitive the minister’s time at each church was\n        limited. Mt. Zion hosted the minister on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Sundays.","In 1908 a narthex and belfry was added to the church. The membership of the church numbered\n        156 adults in 1912. Other changes occurred over the next several decades as modern utilities\n        came to the area. In 1925 electricity was added to the church’s parsonage. During the next\n        decade a sink and water pump were also added. Finally, the church’s first bathroom with\n        indoor plumbing was installed in 1943. ","In 1948 when the church replaced the dual entrances and aisles, originally designed to\n        segregate men and women, with a single entrance. During the project the church also added a\n        large altar picture featuring Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane to honor members who had\n        fought in World War II. When these changes were dedicated in 1949, the church listed 150\n        communing members. The final major renovation to the church occurred in 1980-1981 when a\n        social hall and parking lot was added.","In the decades that followed, the make-up of the Lutheran Parish to which Mt. Zion belonged\n        changed drastically. Lebanon Church left the parish in 1969 when the other churches voted to\n        realign the parish to include only two churches. This parish alignment would last until\n        1988, when Mt. Zion decided to become a one-church parish. However, the church was unable to\n        support a minister on its own. In Mt. Zion and St. Luke rejoined in 2015 and continue to\n        operate as a dual parish today."],"note_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e38758101567070 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567088 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567096 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567104 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567112 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567120 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567138 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567146 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567310 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567153 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567161 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567179 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567187 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567195 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567591 Map Case Drawer E, Folder 11\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567583 Map Case Drawer E, Folder 12\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567203 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567211 Stack 10, Shelf 2\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567229 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567237 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567245 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567252 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567260 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567575\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567286 Stack 10, Shelf 2\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567294 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567302 Stack 10, Shelf 2\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567328 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567336 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567344 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e38758101567351 Stack 10, Shelf 3\u003c/p\u003e"],"note_tesim":["38758101567070 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567088 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567096 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567104 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567112 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567120 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567138 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567146 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567310 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567153 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567161 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567179 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567187 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567195 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567591 Map Case Drawer E, Folder 11","38758101567583 Map Case Drawer E, Folder 12","38758101567203 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567211 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567229 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567237 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567245 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567252 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567260 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567575","38758101567286 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567294 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567302 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567328 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567336 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567344 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567351 Stack 10, Shelf 3"],"odd_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e...\u003c/p\u003e"],"odd_heading_ssm":["Rights Statement for Archival Description"],"odd_tesim":["..."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e[Identification of item] Mt.

Zion Lutheran Church dates to 1829 when Abraham Smutz and his family sold land to a\n        group of church trustees. This land contained a house that the deed required to be used as a\n        school and church for any denomination. Mt. Zion’s Lutheran congregation met there twice a\n        month during the 1870s.","In 1884 the Lutherans in the area began work on their own church building beside the Union\n        church. The area surrounding the new church had previously been dedicated as a cemetery and\n        the first burials at the site occurred in 1882.","In 1895 Mt. Zion Lutheran Church joined with St. Luke Lutheran Church to form a new parish.\n        The coordination would last, with a few interruptions, to this day. In 1898 the two\n        congregations joined with Lebanon Lutheran Church in the north end of the county to form an\n        expanded parish. Since transportation was primitive the minister’s time at each church was\n        limited. Mt. Zion hosted the minister on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Sundays.","In 1908 a narthex and belfry was added to the church. The membership of the church numbered\n        156 adults in 1912. Other changes occurred over the next several decades as modern utilities\n        came to the area. In 1925 electricity was added to the church’s parsonage. During the next\n        decade a sink and water pump were also added. Finally, the church’s first bathroom with\n        indoor plumbing was installed in 1943. ","In 1948 when the church replaced the dual entrances and aisles, originally designed to\n        segregate men and women, with a single entrance. During the project the church also added a\n        large altar picture featuring Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane to honor members who had\n        fought in World War II. When these changes were dedicated in 1949, the church listed 150\n        communing members. The final major renovation to the church occurred in 1980-1981 when a\n        social hall and parking lot was added.","In the decades that followed, the make-up of the Lutheran Parish to which Mt. Zion belonged\n        changed drastically. Lebanon Church left the parish in 1969 when the other churches voted to\n        realign the parish to include only two churches. This parish alignment would last until\n        1988, when Mt. Zion decided to become a one-church parish. However, the church was unable to\n        support a minister on its own. In Mt. Zion and St. Luke rejoined in 2015 and continue to\n        operate as a dual parish today.","38758101567070 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567088 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567096 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567104 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567112 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567120 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567138 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567146 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567310 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567153 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567161 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567179 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567187 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567195 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567591 Map Case Drawer E, Folder 11","38758101567583 Map Case Drawer E, Folder 12","38758101567203 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567211 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567229 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567237 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567245 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567252 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567260 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567369 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567575","38758101567286 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567294 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567302 Stack 10, Shelf 2","38758101567328 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567336 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567344 Stack 10, Shelf 3","38758101567351 Stack 10, Shelf 3","...","Items were acquired in a semi-processed state from the church.
