St. Paul's Early Families  - Family Roster begun in 1900
  • Compiled by Elaine (Bondo) Hoyer and organized by Robert A. Christiansen, 
  • Covers families who were members in 1900 or joined before the early 1920s. 
  • As of October 2010, the brief historical sketches in St. Paul’s Family Reports now include all families on the following list, with two exceptions:
  • Paul Olsen & Anna Helvig Jensen, #25:  This couple was childless and had no known relatives in the St. Paul’s community.  
  • Carl Jaeger:  This family is on the list erroneously, as they did not join St. Paul’s until 1931, when they moved to Boomer Township from Council Bluffs.  In 1944 they returned to Council Bluffs.
  • "*" denotes charter families.
