At that meeting, Streckfuss was examined and accepted as a charter member. In 1856 he moved to Allen County, Indiana, where he served as pastor of the Holy Trinity and Martini Lutheran churches until his removal to Illinois in 1856.
Two family bibles that belonged to Pastor Johann Georg Streckfuss are now housed at Concordia Historical Institute, 801 DeMun Ave., St. Louis MO 63105.
