    •      The following biographical sketch appeared in A History of Moniteau County, Missouri, written by J. E. Ford and published in 1936.

                Rev. J. C. Bierbaum

           J. C. Bierbaum, pastor of the California Evangelical Church, is a native of Treloar, Missouri, born July 11, 1891. His father was A. J. H. Bierbaum, born in Marthasville, Missouri, who died in 1914. Mr. Bierbaum is the youngest of a family of seven children, five boys and two girls. All of the boys became preachers. His mother, born at Cecil, Wisconsin now eighty-two years old, lives at Aurora, Illinois.
           Mr. Bierbaum was married April 30, 1919, to Miss Marie Hoflander, daughter of John George and Elizabeth Hoflander of Billingsville, Cooper County. They have one child, Dorothy, five years old.
           He graduated at Elmhurst College, Elmhurst, Illinois, and at Eden Theological Seminary at Webster Groves, Mo. His first charge was at Berlin, Wisconsin, where he remained two years. He was then for ten years at Lexington, Missouri, and is now in his twelfth year with the California Evangelical Church. He has been president and moderator of the West Missouri District of the Evangelical Church for the past eight consecutive years.
           The unique record of three pastors, of which Mr. Bierbaum is the last, in building the present organization of the California Evangelical church is discussed in Chapter X. This church has the largest average attendance at church and Sunday School of any church in the county. In effective working organization, in attendance and in interest it will compare favorably with most of the stronger churches of large cities.

      The historical sketch of Rev. Bierbaum's charge mentioned above, appeared in Chapter 10, on page 257:

           CALIFORNIA - This church, organized in 1866, is one of the outstanding churches of the county. Fifty-five per cent of its membership is from rural territory adjacent to California. The present building was erected in 1895 and enlarged and remodeled in 1930-31. During 78 years of its existence the church has had but three pastors, Rev. F. A. Umbeck, who served 47 years, his son, Rev. F. P. Umbeck, eleven years. The present pastor, Rev. J. C. Bierbaum, succeeded the latter in 1925.
           The average Sunday School attendance is more than 300. The big modern building contains nine separate rooms for class meetings, a kitchen and large assembly room in addition to the main auditorium. All organizations subsidiary to the church are active parts of a powerful and efficiently conducted organization.
