Parsonage Dedicated After German Church Service
A parsonage for Rev. C. A. Dettmers was dedicated after a German Congregational church service in Muscatine. About 250 attended as talks and music marked the event, with Miss Edith Stocker presenting pictures to building and financial committees. The Ladies’ Aid previously contributed $690, plus $100 for furnishings, and businessmen, Chicago friends, and church members funded the project totaling $2,340.50 with a small debt remaining. The debt is to be wiped out by the Ladies’ Aid society.
