Every year I have posted a fall color video. This year is way more fun because I have a friend along who is a super nice guy. He was packing a Canon R5 with a 24-70 L lens. I had my daily carry iPhone... Was I out gunned? You let me know? Howard thrives on compliments.

I was quicker on the draw but? All the video is iPhone video. My iPhone is several years old but it sure seems to still get the job done.

In Femme Osage the rock building is the old school house. Quoting from our local historical society. "The Femme Osage story begins in 1830 when a group of German immigrants settled in the upper reaches of the Femme Osage valley. Herman Garlichs, a university trained layman, began preaching to the settlers in 1831. Sensing a call to vocation, he returned to Germany for final training and ordination. He then returned tn Femme Osage as minister to his small congregation. He later organized congregations at Cappeln (St.Johns), Holstein (Emmanuel), Washington (St.Peters). Schluersberg (Bethany), St.Charles (Friedens) and one near Warrenton. The first Femme Osage church was a simple log building. In l84l, it was replaced by a stone church. In 1888, the congregation dedicated the church in use today. The stone church was torn down and some of the stone used to build the schoolhouse that stands today across the creek from the church."
