The Keppler Church once stood on this property. The church building was torn down in the early 1920's. Belonging to a German Protestant congregation dating back to the early 1840's, the church was unofficially named after Rev. Heinrich Keppler, who served there from 1851-1892. The building also served as a school with Rev. Keppler as a teacher. Next to the church was the parsonage and a small graveyard. To the northwest, on the opposite side of the road, was a larger graveyard started by the church in 1846. That is still run and maintained as an active cemetery by the St. Joseph's Burial Association since 1873. The congregation disbanded about 1896. Rev. Keppler is buried in the cemetery that bears his name.
