Trinity Episcopal Church- The cornerstone was laid on Nov. 7, 1865 on a piece of land donated by C.P. Helfenstein along Lincoln Street. A small church measuring 28-by-78-feet was built. The Rev. G.W. Shrim became the first pastor. On April 29, 1866, before the church was completed, high winds blew down the building. A new chapel, seen here, was constructed in record time, with a service held in the new church on May 11, 1866. During the summer of 1876, the chapel was enlarged by 25 feet, among other renovations. In 1890, plans for a new church began. The church was moved to the southern part of the lot. The new church was completed on Feb. 11, 1892, at a price of $10,000.

  • (1977) People entering Trinity Episcopal Church to see the vision of Christ- After a Wednesday evening prayer on April 13, 1977, Iris Reigle, 9, tugged at her grandmother, Clarence Fegley, of Burnside, and said, "Hurry, come see God!" Pointing at a tabernacle cover at the altar, she continued, "See, there is God's face." The figure that appeared that evening would eventually draw the attention of over 75,000. By April 22, droves of people from different states lined the sidewalk on Lincoln Street, waiting for their turn to see the vision. National press, including Barbara Walters, visited the church or placed telephone interviews with Father Frank Knutti. Knutti explained the cloth's position and lightning had never changed over the years or the days leading up to the vision. He said a miracle was the only explanation.
