Rev. H. Hoerig, a former pastor of the German Evangelical Lutheran Friedens Congregation of Menomonie, was born in Bavaria, Germany, in 1850. He studied theology in the Mission Seminary at Dettelsau, Bavaria. He entered the active ministry in 1875, serving two years as assistant to Dr. Meier, pastor of the German Lutheran Congregation at Lyons, France.
In 1877 he came to America, entering the ministry of the German Lutheran Synod of Iowa and Other States.
