PRAIRIE WEST PIONEERS:
"Among a few very early residents who were considerably advanced in life was one of the settlers on Prairie West in 1836, Richard Church. Some of his children, even then, had families of their own. He had lived in Michigan Territory for a time, but before that became a state [1836] he made his last home in Lake county, Indiana. He was one of the pioneer Baptists of the county, taking an active part in the organization of the first Baptist church. He had a large family of sons and daughters, nearly all of whom were men and women in 1837. His home, the home of his son, Darling Church, those of his son-in-law, Leonard Cutler, were the early homes of what was called for a few years Prairie West, all of which prairie is now thickly covered over with the homes of the German settlers who have spread out from the Hack and Schmal center at St. John. The work of that very worthy citizen, Richard Church, was done more through his children than by himself, as only a few years of active life were assigned to him here."

"Of this once large pioneer family there are now no descendants in this county [Lake Co., IN]. They were for some years an influential family, and in our records their names should surely have a place."
