Named in the 1883 county history

The history of Perry County was published 12 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

What is known as Shelley's, or Good Hope Lutheran Church. was organized and built in 1818, though there had been preaching at private houses several years previous to that date. The names ot Rev. Jacob Leist, Rev. Jacob Foster, and Rev. Andrew Henkel. are given as among the early preachers. Rev. Foster came to this part of the country about 1805, and died about 1815. Rev. Andrew Henkel, one of the pioneer pillars of the Lutheran Church in Ohio, came to what is now Perry county about 1812, having been ordained to the ministry at New Market, Virginia, a little prior to this date. Rev. Jacob Leist remained a few years and then removed to another county. All the original members of this church are probably dead.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Perry County, Ohio, held by the Library of Congress. Sanborn atlases published before 1930 are in the public domain. Only names that at least three of four independent readings agreed on are published, and no spelling has been corrected: what appears here is what the recogniser returned from the ink.
