The work of the United Brethren in Christ in Iowa, began, so far as shown, with the labors of Rev. Christian Troup, a member of the Wabash conference, who came to Iowa as a missionary in 1836, and settled upon what is now a part of the site of Mt. Vernon. He afterwards traded his 160 acre claim for a yoke of oxen and settled near the Cedar River, on what is now known as the Horn farm. Here he passed through all the privations of a frontier life.
His daughter, Mrs. Pate, states that for a considerable time he and his family ground the corn for their bread on an old-fashioned coffee mill nailed to the side of a tree.
Rev. Troup's field as a missionary extended from the city of Dubuque to Henry County. His preaching places were wherever he could find an opportunity to speak to the people. One of his appointments was near Ivanhoe, in a log house of only two rooms. Here, standing in the low doorway, he would speak first to those gathered in one room, then stooping, for he was a tall man, he would pass into the other room and speak to those there.
Rev. Troup died in 1850 and was buried in the cemetery that then occupied the lot where the residence of Mrs. Mary Hoover now stands, in Lisbon. When the cemetery was changed his remains were removed to the present Lisbon Cemetery, where his grave is marked by a plain slab bearing the inscription:
CHRISTIAN TROUP
Died April 10, 1850
Aged years, 11 months, 12 days
I have fought a good fight
I have finished my course
I have the faith
2 Timothy, 4 chap. 7 verse.
It will be noticed that the word "kept" is omitted from the last line in the quotation from the scripture. Probably a mistake of the stone-cutter.

Notes for CHRISTIAN TROUP:

The first dated 3/13/1819 for a David Troup list a Christine (sic) along with siblings John, Elizabeth Weiland, Jacob, Peggy, David, himself and Nancy. David was the son of Adam TROUP amd Catharina MUSSELMAN
The second is dated 8/7/1829 for a Henry Troup s/o Adam TROUP and Catharina MUSSELMAN .....with three sets of heirs:
A. Adam, John Brewer and wife....Maria Ann TROUP was married to John BREWER
B. Heirs of Catherine Shively born : abt 1763 (Isaac & Adam) Catherine TROUP married John SHIVELY born: abt 1761 and had sons Isaac and Adam. They married 1785. John was the s/o Ulrich Schaueblin of Oberdorf,Baselland,Switz and Elizabeth Thommen

Peggy TROUP may have been the Maragret TROUP who married John IRWIN on 7 Aug 1817 in Washington Co, MD
Nancy TROUP married Michael KAGEREIS/ KAKERISE on 18 Sep 1820 , the above seems to be a mis-spelling of the name. Nancy was the d/o David TROUP and Anna.
