page 114, July 18, 1854, Mr. Louis Poh of Buffalo, New York and Miss Catharine Herrman of Buffalo, NY

I did not find Catherine Poh in the St. Paul's German United Evangelical Church records even though her obituary says there was a funeral there.

St. Paul's German United Evangelical - Washington Street between Genesee & Chippewa - Otto Burger
Dates back to 1842 when a number of families separated themselves from St. John's Evangelical Lutheran. The original church of brick (built 1844) stood on the east side of Washington St. between Chippewa & Genesee. Earlier services had been held at Pearl St. Presbyterian church on the corner of Pearl and Genesee Streets. About 1851, many members left and formed St. Stephen's United Evangelical Church- also known as St. Mark's. A new church was built in 1881-1882 on Ellicott Street between Tupper & Goodell which was still standing in 1920 with a membership of 120 people. It appears based on FHLLC records that St. Paul's & St. Mark's merged at a later date. Film information is noted as; St. Paul's & St. Mark's United Church of Christ with scattered records dating back to 1842. Film #s 1901556, 0901557, & 1902318
