Memorial History of St Paul’s Lutheran and Reformed Churches
1831-1960

RD2 Knox, Pa
Translated and Compiled by Raymond E. Hollenbach 1959-1960
Supervision and Research by John B. Dengler 1959-1960

William and Henry Best are said to have settled on the land where the churches are in 1801. On October 3, 1812 William obtained a deed for 370 acres from the owners. On Sept 11, 1813 he gave a 125 acre parcel to his brother, Henry. Two acres of Henry’s land was used for the first church.

German inhabitants of Richland Twp. On Jan. 9, 1813 met at Henry Best’s house:

Jacob Graff-Jacob Alt-John Thomas-John Kuhnse-George Dillow-William Best, Jr-Henry Best Trustees In ? for the Church : Henry Neligh, John Kuhnse And Jacob Alt (note: the barn which was built on Jacob Alt’s farm has been partially saved and you will find a campground, restaurant and a bed and breakfast there. There is also a lovely lake which is named wolf because of a story there pertaining to the wolves who lived in the area. If you are ever traveling down interstate 80 at Knox try a visit. The food and atmosphere will be worth it and you will be located in an area close to Venango and Jefferson counties and you are in Clarion Co., Pa.)
