My great grandfather John B.FALTER, as he was known in America, married Margarette STEINMETZ at St. Stephen. Both John B.'s father Johann Philip and Margarette's father, Martin, were founders of St. Stephen Catholic Church which gave the village its name. John B. lived the rest of his life on three farms in Venice Township, none more than 3 miles from the church. Their history is detailed in the "Falter-Scharf Family From About 1585" (our genealogy and family history book) (Volume I).
