From Goodspeed's History---
St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church -- Located at New Melle, was organized in 1842. The original members were William Wulfekoetter, Fred Windhorst, Louis Stiegmeier, William Wanke and William Meir. The present membership numbers 400. The pastors who have served this church are H. Fick, A. Claus, Fred Ottman and W. Matuschka, who is the present pastor. The present church was erected for $3,500 in 1858, it being a stone structure. There are 75 scholars in the Sunday-school.
The next pastor to serve the congregations jointly at the Falls and Plymouth, was the Rev. F. Ottmann, who served for nine years leaving on December 15, 1872, for Collinsville, Ill.
Then followed the Rev. J. J. Hoffmann, who came in 1873 and who remained until 1879 when he was succeeded by the Rev. J. H. Herzer. Under the Rev. Mr. Herzer the congregation flourished. A parsonage was built and in 1890 a church building was erected, which still is serving the congregation as a house of worship. The Rev. Mr. Herzer was the first resident pastor, all predecessors making their homes at Sheboygan Falls. In 1892 the Rev. Herzer followed a call as theological professor at the seminary located in Springfield, Ill. He was succeeded by Rev. William Mather, who remained until July, 1895.
