Muscatine Church History Recounts Growth and Leaders
The Muscatine church legacy traces from 1850 beginnings in homes to a dedicated 1851 brick edifice and later a 1892 building at Sixth and Mulberry. It lists pastors from 1857 to present, notes key figures like Rev. W. J. Beatty and Rev. L. B. Hix, and details the Roman Catholic St Matthias parish development with Rev. J. Laurent and Father Laurent’s long tenure.
