Churches and Schools
The St. Peters's Lutheran Church, one and a half miles south-west of Hamilton, 
was organized as early as 1806 by Germans, who had settled in this part of the 
township, from Pennsylvania, Virginia, and North Carolina.  Among the early 
members were the Garvers, Fishers, Lingles, Castators, Troutmans, Mitchells, 
Kyles, and Shellhouses.

Justice Troutman, who attended school here when a boy, says the "teachers always 
had a stock of iron-wood switches on hand, stuck above the joist, to be used in 
cases where the youngsters needed trimming."  These men were not very conscientious 
about the application of the whip.  When there were six scholars in the classes 
they were thought to be large.  Among those who attended school here were James 
Garver, now a distinguished physician of Minnesota; William Garver, a prominent 
lawyer, and Henry Garver, now acting surgeon at the Soldier's Home, Dayton, OH.  
Jacob Troutman, well known in Hamilton and elsewhere throughout the county, and 
a man who has filled nearly all the municipal offices in the gift of the people 
and the city, was another pupil.
