SS. Peter and Paul (Gilbert, Iowa)

"The Church of Saints Peter & Paul in Story County, north of Ames and a few miles west of Gilbert, is on the Story County side of the county line. About half the parish lies across the county line in the Diocese of Sioux City and Boone County. The first Catholic settlers came in 1855, among them the families of Christian Baldus and John Dickopf."
