Using our town search tool:
http://www.posen-l.com/TownSearch.php

we find that it was in Kreis Obornik, but the churches of both faiths were
in Samter (town).

You are correct about Stowen, Kreis Kolmar/Chodziesen's state of records
(for Protestant anyway, which is your most likely match).

I'll try to add info about records, etc to the wiki articles in a few days.
Please check them this weekend.
