It was on December .14, 1858, that 13 charter members came to the “Blockkirche” to sign the “Kirchenordnung” or Constitution of Immanuel church. Johann Heinrich, Philipp Bleeke, Johann H. Krueckeberg, Heinrich Wil- . liam Weyland, J. H. W. Carl Grote, C. D. Ferdinand Reinking, J. Andreas Thieme, Carl H. W. Krueckeberg, Carl D. William Schamerloh, K. H. Ludwig Koldewey, J. F. Hoeriger, and H. J. Ruecklos, Sr., Christian F, Bleeke and Karl F. W. Bleeke and their families were the founders. Their ancestors are still the leaders in Union and adjoining townships. The church had actually started in 1849 as a circuit meeting from Friedheim at the home of J. H. P. Bleeke and his two sons. In 1949 the church had grown to 307 souls, 22 communicants and 82 voters. The centennial of founding was celebrated at that time. ' The God-fearing, hard-working German settlers who pioneered in Adams county have left us much of the legacy which we have inherited in a deep, rich history of happenings and legend. The entire county wishes the church well on the anniversary of its formal founding.

The Socialists, who gained a clear majority in the recent municipal elections, could have set up a one-party regime.
