Mercer 

English Evangelical 

Lutheran Church

The English Evangelical Lutheran Church was organized about 1840 or 1842, and included among its members Jacob Eberle and wife, David Achre and wife, Elias Achre and wife, the Nunemakers, Henry Ahrend and others. The house of worship was a frame one-story structure, which cost about $1,000. It was erected on the corner of Otter and Butler Streets, directly north of the present Methodist parsonage. The house was sold about 1854 to Albert Pew, now of Sharon, and has since been occupied by various persons as a private dwelling. The congregation disbanded about the time of the sale, a portion of the membership going to a Lutheran congregation worshipping on the Blacktown road. It, too, has been disbanded, many of the communicants finding a home in the Second Presbyterian Church of Mercer.
