Century-Old St Jacob's Church Photo Mixup Rectified

A mixup in last Saturday's paper misidentified the photo for St Jacob's Lutheran Church on Mudbrook Road. Known as Mudbrook Church, it dates to 1815 as Jackson Township's first church, with a brick building from 1835 shared by Lutherans and Reformed until 1902, later rebuilt as a frame structure. The parish joined St John’s Lutheran Canal Fulton in 1895. Rev Lawrence Fudge retired 1950, with student pastors from Capital University thereafter.
