Histórico
Samuel H. Baumgartner (1860-1936), an Evangelical Association minister of the Indiana Conference, was born March 2nd, 1860, near Vera Cruz, Indiana and died in 1936. He married Kessie Keipper in 1886.
Baumgartner was licensed as a preacher on probation in April 1887 at Rochester, Indiana, ordained as a deacon in 1889, and an elder in 1891. He served for twelve years in six fields, namely, West Point (Bipus), two; Rochester City, one; Kendallville and Avilla, two; Ft. Wayne First, four; and Wabash, two. Baumgartner was appointed Secretary of Conference by Bishop J. J. Esher in 1891 and consecutively for the following nine times.
In 1899 the conference elected him presiding elder, an office in which he served eight years on the Elkhart and Ft. Wayne districts. In 1907 and 1908 he served First Church in Indianapolis. From 1909 to 1922, he again served as presiding elder on all presiding elder districts of the conference. In 1923, Baumgartner resigned as presiding elder to become solicitor of funds for the liquidation of the debt on the Old Peoples Home, and in 1927, completed forty years of active service to the Evangelical Church.
