St. John operated a school at 4th & University from around 1863 through 1911. Students would travel across the pasture and farm land to attend school, sometimes students would ride horse cars that traveled between the courthouse and the train depot. Sometimes, they would tie sleds to a farmer's wagon and hitch a ride in the deep snow. At the dawn of the new century, St. John had outgrown her church building, and built a new church at 4th & University. By the 1950s, St. John had outgrown that church.
