TREES AT THE CHURCH WERE THE GREATEST PLACE TO HIDE FROM MOM AND DAD IF YOU DIDN'T WANT TO GO TO CHURCH.(LLL)
THERE WAS A BAPTISMAL FONT IN THE 'DINGY DEPTHS OF THE DUNGEON' IN THE BASEMENT OF THE CHURCH UNDER THE STAIRS. IT WAS DARK AND COLD AND THE WATER HAD TO BE HAULED IN IN BUCKETS.(YYYY)
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL WAS BEGUN JUNE 1875. THE FIRST SUPERINTENDENT OF THE GEORGETOWN ID WARD WAS JOHN G. HOFF II. THERE WERE FIVE OFFICERS AND TEACHERS AND THIRTY MEMBERS IN THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. JOHN G. HOFF WAS THE SUPERINTENDENT FOR 35 YEARS. HE DIDN'T PUT UP WITH MUCH FOOLISHNESS. BOYS WERE EXPELLED FROM CLASS AND HAD TO GO BACK AND APOLOGIZE TO BE REINSTATED.(H4)
