Excerpt from What the Church Is and What It Should Be
Settlesburg was one of the first towns to be incorporated in this country. Because its population consisted of the most far-seeing and enterprising of the early colonists, their judgment prompted them to select a central and productive location for their settlement, and while their environment would have compelled them to put forth their best efforts, still these particular citizens were naturally industrious and did not have to be prompted by force of circumstances or anything else to labor.
But now being so far from their mother country and in a somewhat precarious attitude toward her, they naturally became doubly energetic. They did everything that was in their power to do to develop their immediate part of the new country. They erected temporary homes, felled the timber, plowed the ground, grew harvests, established stores, schools and churches.
Leander Gross was a citizen of this town.
