A front view of the Wittemberg Congregational Church, north of Newton, Iowa, taken by Farwell T. Brown during a visit in 1987. This church was established before the Civil War and was originally associated with a denomination that was strong in the South. During the war, it became a Congregational church. It is in the adjacent graveyard that Rev. John White, his wife Jane and their little daughter Mary were buried. Rev. White was a founder of the Congregational church in Ames in 1865.
