Inscription on the monument: This monument is in memory of Amos Kohl and other good citizens who gave of their time and gifts to erect what was known as the White Oak or Dutch Church on this site, and dedicated on November 1868. It was one of the first Evangelical churches west of the Mississippi River. A lot of the lumber was native and handcut. A regular minister was here until 1915. The centennial was held June 9, 1968.
