I thought some of you may be interested in this article I came across.
"1841 Ludwig Jacoby, an immigrant to St.Louis from Germany, begins the first Methodist church west of the Mississippi, surviving pistol-firing, rock-throwing ruffians. He later returns to Germany to become a seminary professor and editor of several religious papers, but then makes it back to St. Louis and dies there in 1874. His last word is, hallelujah."
This all I have and it was taken from WORLD magazine and the article was written by Marvin Olasky.
