486 HISTORY OP PASADENA. 



German Baptist Church. — A Baptist Convention report of 1893 ^as 

 in its list of churches, "Pasadena German; Theodore Hansen, clerk — 

 organized in 1887." But no other data are given. The Pasadena Standard 

 of November 23, 1889, said : "The German Baptist or Dunkard society of 

 Pasadena procured a lot and erected a church building, about two years ago, 

 by borrowing money therefor and giving a mortgage of $3,300 on the prop- 

 erty. The members were poor, many of them have moved away, the 

 mortgage had to be foreclosed, and now the holder, Wm. H. Wood, has the 

 premises in lawful possession." 



Rev. F. C. Koehler, a German Baptist preacher, resided here at that 

 time; and his name was still in the list of Pasadena clergymen in 1893. 



Friendship Baptist Church of Pasadena (Colored). — The first 

 meeting to talk up organization was held at the home of Mrs. Maria Hill on 

 Vernon Avenue. A Sunday school was commenced on the fourth Sunday 

 in June, 1893, by Robert McDow ; then a prayer meeting was formed, 

 which grew into a church that was organized the third Sunday in Septem- 

 ber, 1893. The names of the first members were: J. M. Fowler, R. Scott, 

 Maria Hill, Mittie Scott, Rosa Fowler, Alice Griffin, Anna Fowler, Rowena 

 Ballard, Henrietta Fowler. Rev. J. M. Fowler was the first pastor, and 

 Reuben Scott the first deacon. The number of members in 1894 was 25. 

 Rev. Fowler still pastor ; Scott, deacon, with Henry Griffin and James 

 Coleman added ; W. C. Dent, clerk ; J. Coleman, treasurer. Superintendent 

 of Sunday school, Y. M. Moulton ; assistant superintendent, Mrs. Cora 

 Strother. 



episcopal church. 



All through the month of February, 1884, the Pasadena Union 

 contained this notice in its weekly list of churches: "Episcopal. — 

 Services every Sunday, except first of month, at 3 o'clock. Sunday 

 school at 2 p. M." No names mentioned nor place of meeting given. 

 But in the paper of March 8th the notice was changed to read thus: 

 "Episcopal. — Services every Sunday, in Williams Hall at 11 o'clock." 

 Still no name given of who conducted the services. But the paper of 

 April 5th announced that on and after April 6th these services would be 

 held in Library Hall at 3 p. m., by Rev. A. W. Macnab, the newly appointed 

 missionary ; and on and after Easter Sunday the services would be held 

 regularly at 11 a. m. (It appears that the services previously had been 

 conducted by the Dean, N. G. L. Trew, of San Gabriel.) In the paper of 

 May 10 it was first designated as "All Saints Mission, Pasadena, Branch of 

 San Gabriel Valley Associate Missions." 



In February, 1885, Rev. Macnab engaged Ridgway & Ripley to build 

 a chapel for this mission, on East Colorado street, near where Euclid Avenue 

 is now. In March Capt. D. R. Risley gave a Bible for the pulpit, and E. T. 

 Hurlbut gave a communion service. The chapel was completed and first
