History
Edwin B. Dunke served as treasurer, ca. 1920, of the German Baptist Church of Berlin (now Kitchener), also called the Benton St. Baptist Church, located there since 1852. He was probably a proprietor, or part owner, of Dunke and Co., a grocery store at 35 King. St. E., between Queen and Benton Streets in Kitchener. German services at the Benton St. Baptist Church were discontinued in 1918, and two years later the church separated from the Eastern Conference of German Baptist churches to unite with the Ontario and Quebec conference. In the early 1930's it became an independent Baptist church, and in 1953 became part of the Fellowship of Evangelical churches in Canada. (Waterloo Historical Society 52 (1964): 82-83)
