In the county-history sources
15,135 words on this townshipHistory of Indianapolis and Marion County, Indiana, published 1884 names this settlement in its chapter on Washington Township. These are the passages that mention it, exactly as the scans read.
The Lower Ebenezer Lutheran Church was organized with sixty members in 1868, after the division in the Ebenezer Church. The congregation continued to worship in the old frame building until 1872, when the present two-story brick edifice was completed, when they occupied it and sold the old building to George W. House, who subsequently sold it to the Northwood Methodist Episcopal Church. The Ebenezer Church recently acquired it again and made it a parsonage. It stands about forty rods west of the church building.
