    German Original: "Ein zweites [Pfarrhaus] wurde sofort mit Pastor Weißgerbers Antritt in 1854 errichtet.
    So hatte nun der Nachfolger Austmanns [Weißgerber] alle Hände voll, um dem Gemeindeschifflein wieder den rechten Kurs zu geben. Es gelang ihm auch bald,...Hier wurde nun im Jahr 1856 eine größere und bequemere "Frame"-Kirche errichtet...Scheinbar waren es Schwierigkeiten, die aus der Schulfrage erwuchsen, und Pastor Weißgerber bewogen, im April 1858 die Gemeinde zu verlassen."

    English Translation: "A second [parsonage] was immediately built with Pastor Weißgerber's assumption of office in 1854.
    Thus, Austmann's successor now had his hands full keeping the congregation on course. Soon there were signs of success...Here a larger and more comfortable frame church was built in 1856...Apparently, there were difficulties arising from the school issue that moved Pastor Weißgerber to leave the congregation in April 1858.
