St John's Ev. Church was located in Section 12. A cemetery is all that remains. It is well kept, apparently by the landowner.
2nd St. John's Ev. Church was located near the northeast corner of Section 19. All that remains is a cemetery on the hill about 100 yards west of a north-south road and is has not been maintained. However, it is fenced. It is actually about 100 yards west of the east side of the section and about 1/4 mile south of K-71 Highway.
