St. John Lutheran Church. The area around Coryell City was settled in the 1880s by a number of German immigrant families. Desiring to worship in their native language, a group of settlers began meeting together in homes. The Rev. Johannes Barthel of the Luthern Church occassionally conducted services for the settlers. He was succeeded by the Rev. R. Seils, who officially organized St. John Luthern Church on December 7, 1889, in the Home of Fritz Wiede. The congregation purchased two acres of land and built their first sancturary in 1890. It was replaced by a larger structure in 1908, which served the congregation until it was destroyed by fire in 1921. A new sanctuary built that year was replaced by a red brick structure in 1959. Worship services were periodically conducted in the German language until 1952, despite some ill feeling the practice caused during the years of World War I. Adjacent to the church is the St. John Lutheran Cemetery. Dating to the 1890s, it is the final resting place of many church and community members, including verterans of World War I, World War II, and Vietnam. #5039

In memory of the victims of the "Essex Witch Hunts" who were imprisoned in Colchester Castle. In the 16th and 17th centuries, over 200 women and men were held in the cells of Colchester Castle on charges of witchcraft. Many died while awaiting their trial. Much of the evidence was based on superstition, ignorance and hysteria. This plaque is placed as a memorial to them all and in the hope of an end to persecution and intolerance.

Henriette Bourque 1903-1997 Première femme à avoir travaillé comme avocate au ministère de la Justice. Madame Bourque est arrivée première de classe parmi 80 étudiants, à la faculté de droit de l'Université de Montréal lorsqu'elle a obtenu son diplôme en 1933. Quelques années plus tard, elle a obtenu un doctorat en droit de l'Université de Paris. Madame Bourque a travaillé au ministère de la Justice de 1939 à 1949. Elle aimait le droit pour «sa qualité morale et spirituelle qui va bien au-delà des simples mots» et définissait la tâche de l'avocat comme «essayer de traduire en termes pratiques les idéaux du comportment humain». On se souviendra d'elle comme étant une pionnière dans son domaine ainsi que dans l'évolution de l'égalité des sexes. First female lawyer to work at the Departrment of Justice. Madame Bourque came first in her class of 80 at the University of Montreal's law school when she gradutaed in 1933. She would later earn a doctorate of laws from Paris University. Madame Bourque worked at the Department of Justice from 1939 to 1949. She loved the law for its "moral and spiritual quuality that goes beyond the dry words on the page," and saw the lawyer's task as "trying to turn into practical terms the ideals of human conduct." She will be remembered as a pioneer in her field and in the advancement of gender equality.
