The 1881 History of Marion and Clinton Co book has this note for the Evangelical St. Peter's Church at Centralia, in case this could be a relative, too. ... When the members reached 12 in number in 1863, their efforts were blessed. The minister they called upon, Rev. R. John, then in Warren county, MO. accepted their offer, and soon was in their midst. ...... The first minister, Rev. R. John, remained here till 1865.
There is no stone in the cemetery for your GGGF. I recommend you call the church and ask them 618-526-4319. They have a great history/genealogy office.
