The original of the will being in the German language, the same was translated into English by C.

(II) But in case it comes to pass, that after my death my wife left marries again, then all the ready money left by me, as well as the clothing left by me, falls as inheritance and property upon my son Gustav J. Popplow.

Frances Hoffman transcriber A-1-26 ___________________________ Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church Begun: 1843 The first pastor was the Rev. Franz Adam Peifer who was called by the congregation on October 29, 1843; he served Phillipsburg and Mannheim until 1848. Rev. August Popplow (1849-1854) was the next pastor and during his ministry a frame church was built in 1849 on the south side of Erb Street. Consecration of the new church was on January 1, 1850. The congregation was joined in a Parish with First St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Wellesley from 1852-1854. Pastors who succeeded Rev. Peifer (1843-1848) were Revs. August Popplow (1849-1854), Christian Herman Thomsen (1854-1859), J.F.C. Ehinger (1859-1864), G. Schmidt (1864-1868), J.N. Münzinger (1869-1877), J. Déguisne (1877-1884) and H. Petschke (1884-1887). Zion was joined in a parish with St. James Evangelical Lutheran in Baden and Zion Evangelical Lutheran, St. Agatha in 1930. This association continued until May 30, 1992 when the three congregations agreed to separate and become independent of each other. The present brick building was erected in 1929.
