My Great-Grandfather Michael Gesell (Gessell?)
 was a strong Baptist.

My Grandfather Gus Gesell was raised a Baptist,
but after marrying my

Grandmother Mae Wendel, the whole family became Lutheran.

Lemberg (Newdorf?) Baptist Church
The Baptists had a church south of Lemberg,
with a cemetery nearby

 This Cemetery still exists,
 but now is in the middle of a farmers field.

NE 1/4 SEC 35- TSP 19- RGE 9 W2

Gottlieb Gesell, brother to Michael, moved to Lemberg
from the US, in 1890 and homesteaded nearby
Gottlieb would have attended the Lemberg Baptist Church,
located in the early 1900’s on the Sam Scheirer farm, 
just south of Lemberg., where many Baptist people had settled. 
The Church Cemetery, (Where Gottlieb and his wife are buried), 
is still on this site. Lorne Sheirer, owned the farm in 1990.
Some years later, the congregation decided to move the church
into the town of Lemberg, and it was situated
on what is now the corner of Franz and Chickney streets.
It eventually became the Apostolic Church.
When the depression hit, many families, Gottlieb’s included, 
were forced to leave Saskatchewan, and settle in the interior of BC.
 Most of these in the Vancouver area,
joined the Ebenezer Baptist Church

at 6858 Fraser St.  It is interesting to note, that Gottlieb’s son August
is possibly buried in a cemetery on Fraser St 
There is an article and picture in the Lemberg History book.
Any info or pictures please pass them along.

Note- I found reference to this Church in a Baptist Church
History Book, which refers to it as 
the Newdorf Church (German)
established 1893 with 23 Members in 1901
Rev E. E. Petschke
F. Saver Clerk
