CHAPTER III.-THE SCHOOL.
Among the teachers of this school the following
are mentioned: Mr. Bossenberger, John Vincentner, Andrew Kipper, Carl
Hartleib. John Berberich was in charge when the Separate School
was organized in 1847 or 1848. Mr. Rickert followed him, and then
Mr. Federspiel, as the last one when the new church was built.
In 1855 a wandering student taught here, who
also preached, and is said to have heard confessions. He kept a
flock of chickens in the loft of the school to the annoyance of the
scholars and the faithful at services. This finally forced him to
abscond. Mr. Jos. Dorschel, now in Berlin, helped to build
the church, and made the altar, pews, etc. He also gave a good
deal of this information.
