History of St. John's Church - St. John's Church was founded on July 19, 1857 and the 1st service was held by Pastor R. Tramm (Frederick Reinhold Tramm) who was officially elected as the 1st Pastor on July 29, 1857. St. John Cemetery, in Center township was purchased from A. P. Andrew Jr and Viola Andrew on April 22, 1870. The 1st tract of land was 5 acres of land with a 2nd tract purchased of 3 acres. Information was found in recorders office at LaPorte County Court House deed book 30 page 117.

In 1880 Mr. Rumely representing St. Joseph Catholic Church made an offer to by a tract of land from St. John's Church Cemetery. Offer evidently was accepted as St. Joseph and St. John's Cemetery meet with no land division between.
