Killian v. Ebbinghaus (111 U.S. 798…
“ The record shows a notice by Ebbinghaus, the appellee and complainant below, to the trustees of the German Evangelical Lutheran Concordia Church. The final decree was against the 'trustees or authorities of the said Concordia Church, whether under the name of the trustees of the German Evangelical Concordia Church, or under the name of the trustees of the German Lutheran Evangelical Concordia Church.' The trustees appealed, but in their appeal bond they described themselves as trustees of the German Lutheran Evangelical Concordia Church. ”
