A.K.A Charles Ernest

He studied Theology at Gottingen. He served parishes at Mt. Pulaski IL and Toledo, OH before going to St. John, Hannibal, MO from 1876-1886.

Came to the U.S. in October 1875 in response to a pressing need for German-speaking pastors to serve Lutheran churches in America.

Served Zion Lutheran Church from 1863 to 1869. (From Church records)

(From "History and Program: Centennial Celebration of the First Evangelical Lutheran Salem Congregation, 1125 Huron St., Toledo, OH; January 17-21, 1942) "Pastor C. E. Bode, of Illinois, acccepted the call to serve Salem at a salary of $800.00. Shortly after he came, the congregation decided by unanimous vote to build a new church. Forty-one members at once subscribed $5,845.00. On September 10, 1871, the new church was dedicated. The entire cost was about $14,000 of which $9,000 was paid in cash. The church at that time numbered about 70 families ... Pastor Bode who had served the congregation for 6 years resigned in 1875 and Pastor G. Rausch succeeded him."

(From ELCA Region 6 Archives) "Pastor C. E. Bode, of Illinois was called by Salem Lutheran Church in Toledo in 1869 and resigned in 1875. Salem is located on 1125 Huron St., Toledo, OH 43604. It was the first German speaking congregation in Toledo, serving both Lutheran and Reformed. In 1854 the congregation became Lutheran only. It was associated with the Buffalo Synod in 1857, then withdrew and joined the Iowa Synod in 1859."
