1877
"Built from logs and founded in 1853, Lippstadt Church was one of the first German Evangelical churches organized in Warren County. It is located four miles south of Warrenton off Highway 47. A new brick building was built for $4,500 in 1877.
"Petersmeyer said regular services were held until 1951, when the congregation disbanded. Most parishioners moved their membership to Freidens in Warrenton. The congregation there maintained the Lippstadt Church and Cemetery until 1968.
"At that time the Lippstadt-Freidens Cemetery Association was formed to take over the care and maintenance of the property. A six-member board of directors oversees the cemetery association.
"Two special services are held each year at Lippstadt - Memorial Day and Christmas." ~ Warren County Record
