Early Bohemian Church

Looking for information on what became of the Cobb church described below:

"...And so it happened, that even at this place, they preceded by organizing a congregation—as in Muscoda on November 5, 1892. The organizers were Rev. W. D. Thomas D. D. from La Cross, J. Břeň from Racine, and J. Balcar. Seventeen members applied, and all of them were accepted. It took only a year before the Lord woke up a desire among the brothers for the construction of their own Lord’s temple; in April 1893, they started to collect money for the building...Thus, with God’s help, a small, firm church was built in 1894 on a plot bought from J. Volenec for the cost of $1,000. The church plot measures a half acre, and there is also space for a cemetery. The church is located in the countryside, about three-and-a-half miles southwest of the town of Cobb, Wisconsin..."

This description is from the translated text of "Pamatnik" (Memorial), a "biography" written in 1900 of early Bohemian churches in America. It is currently being translated and it is desired to know if these churches are still in existence.

Thanks in advance for any information.
