Excerpt from SF Chronicle, "Church News", dated Mar. 9, 1902, p.20:
Rev. G.A. Bernthal of Detroit, Mich., who recently answered the call to St. Paulus Evangelical Lutheran Church, on Howard street, San Francisco, will reach this city next Monday. A delegation from St. Paul's will meet him in Oakland and escort him to his new home. He won prominence as a pastor through his work in the East, and the request for his services here, which was made last October, has only just been acceded to by his parishioners in Detroit.

Rev. Bernthal ministered at St. Paulus from 1902 to 1928.

History of St Paulus Church in San Fransisco excerpt:
In 1890, the piece of property one hundred and twenty by one hundred thirty-seven and a half feet at the corner of Eddy and Gough streets was purchased for $35,000, and on February 11, 1894, the present church building was dedicated, with a seating capacity of one thousand.

In the fire and earthquake of 1906, the church was slightly damaged. The fire approached to a point within two blocks on the east (Van Ness avenue) and within two blocks on the south (Golden Gate avenue). About one-half of the church members lost their homes in the fire.
St. Paulus Church served as an emergency hospital, and during the two months in which the church was used by the Red Cross and volunteer physicians more than three thousand patients were provided with beds, and more than ten thousand received medical attention in this building.
