REV. LOUIS KOElBING:

1897-1902

The Rev. Koelbing served the Chelsea-Dexter parishes for four years before moving to Dexter in 1901 when St. Andrews purchased an adjoining house and lot for a parsonage.

The Young Peoples League was first organized in 1901 during his pastorate. A year later, because of ill health, he went to Endora, Kansas where he died in February 1911. He had a daughter, Elsie.
