The German Methodist Episcopal Church of Rock Island was organized in 1855. In 1856 they erected their first house of worship, which, in 1874, was su­ perseded by the present building, on the corner of Sixth Avenue and Fourteenth Street, which cost about $4,000. Among the original members were H. Brockmann, J. Rawser, Ph. Sherer and C. Wagner. Rev. J. B. Schwietert is the present Pastor
