Eastern Iowa Church at Waukon Oo By Mabel Medary
Waukon's First Baptist Church traces its roots to a 1854 organizing group at Makee Ridge led by Azel Pratt and John G. Pratt. The congregation evolved through makeshift spaces, renamed to First Baptist in 1868, rebuilt on Pleasant Street, and finally the present brick structure completed in 1904 with an $18000 cost and a $2000 Hook Hastings organ. Pastors over the years include Schofield Newell Farnsworth Starr Frick Adams Wedgwood Eldridge Perry Wiggin Starring Mason Tyson Bruce Stewart Stull Langridge Belfry Bell Kinsman Pelton Roten Turnbull Powers Johnson Smith Eaton Bong Hall Anderstrom and the current pastor since 1952.
