Churches – Dickey County, North Dakota Churches – Dickey County, North Dakota [Compiled by Allen E. Konrad – October 2007; Revised January, 2015] [P.O. Box 157 – Rowley, IA 52329 <[email protected]>] [Note to the Researcher: My research on the churches in this county comes in two parts. This document contains the denominational names of churches, their locations and historical information. This is an alphabetical listing of churches. If the church is a rural church, use the name by which it was known to locate it on these pages. If it is a church in a town, go alphabetically to the town and then find the denomination listed in alphabetical order within that town. I have also put together a file of photos. If my research came across a picture of a specific church, you will find that information listed as Photo Available within the information of that church. The reference will be a two letter code for the county, the name of the church, followed by a number in parenthesis which was my photo identifier. Click on the photo album link to see these photos. The bold capital letter within a history article is used to indicate a new paragraph in the original document that has been transcribed. The symbol [o—o] is used to indicate that a portion of an article in the original was not transcribed. Sometimes there is more than one history listed under a church. Although some duplication of information may be present, the articles were entered because some provided information that others may not have had. If you know of other churches not listed in this document, have access to the histories of those churches, or discover errors in this document, please feel free to contact and share that information with Allen Konrad.] 1.

The first Finnish Apostolic Lutheran Church was built June 1884 in Savo Township, Brown County, SD. The land (10 acres) was donated by Matt Hanhela. The first officers were Carl Daniels, chairman; August Tuomas, secretary; Henry Nikkila, treasurer; Board of Trustees: N.P. Starkka, Solomon West, William Isaacson, John Martinson, Pete Wetelainen and Abram Peldo. The first service was held on St. John's Day, June 24, 1884. The clergyman was John Takkinen. The first confirmation class consisted of 13 confirmants. The church was in service 78 years. In 1973 the church was restored as a memorial to the pioneers by a group of concerned descendents of pioneers. A sister church was built in 1887 at James River County, Portage Township, Dickey County. That church was moved later from Portage Township to land donated by William Wattula and located in Lovell Township. That church was sold to William Scott in Hecla. Both churches were served by Rev. Carl Daniels and Rev. N.P. Starkka. A new church was constructed in Ada Township and was dedicated April 25, 1954. The two acres of land was donated by Allen and Helmi Weitala. Being that there was no resident pastor at the time, Julius Johnson, a church member, conducted the services whenever there was no clergyman available. The clergyman who came from other areas to preach were George Wilson, John Paana, Carl Niemitalo, Ralph Davidson, and Wayne Juntunen. There were also other clergymen from the mission field who held services. Werner Visto started holding services in the early '60's and he was ordained May 5, 1964. Rev. Visto has held services regularly up to the present time. Reino Maunu is his assistant. The present membership is about 25 members and their families. Churches – Dickey County, ND 1 Compiled by: Allen E. Konrad Community History: Guelph, ND – Centennial 1883-1983 – Grainery of the Plains, p.132. The Stateline Apostolic Lutheran Church was built in 1953 on 2 acres of land (southwest corner of S.W. ¼ section 35- 129-61) given by Mr. and Mrs. Allen Weitala, Sept. 16, 1952. This church is 5 miles south and 3 miles west of Guelph along the state line between North Dakota and South Dakota. The building was dedicated April 25, 1954. Reverend Werner Visto serves as the pastor of the church. Frequently traveling ministers come and have services. The early pioneer Finnish families who had come in 1882-83 felt the need for Divine guidance so held worship services in their homes, many of these being simple sod shanties. Scarcity of space in the homes led them in a mutual agreement that a church building was needed. Matt Hanhella volunteered to give 10 acres of his land to be used for church and cemetery with the agreement that in return the members would plow 50 acres of his land. Forty men with oxen or horses hitched to plows responded and plowed the 50 acres in one day. The foundation for the church was laid June 3, 1884. The necessary material and labor were by contribution and by June 7, 1884, this Finnish Lutheran Church was in sufficient form to enable the people to hold a worship service. The congregation was legally organized in 1887. This church was located in Savo township in South Dakota. On Sunday people traveled great distances to attend worship services, some coming on foot, others by horse and wagon. Some made 2-wheeled carts and hitched oxen to them and even a hay rake was sometimes used for transportation. This church was used for 70 years and was disbanded when the Stateline Church was built. With the passage of time the Old Apostolic Lutheran Church was in need of repair. A group of Finnish people organized as the Pioneer Church Restoration Association with the purpose of restoring the church as a Memorial to the Finnish Christian Pioneers who built it in 1884. Work was begun Oct. 1972 and completed in 1973. Community History: Ellendale, ND – A Time to Celebrate the Past – Celebrate the Present – and Contemplate the Future, 1882-2007, p.98-99. The pioneers of Dakota Territory who had settled here within the years 1882-83, feeling the need of Divine guidance, held worship services in their homes. Scarcity of space led them to mutual agreement that a church building was needed. Matt Hanhela volunteered to relinquish ten acres of his land in the 1/4 of S.S. 1/4 of Section 3 in Savo Township for church and cemetery in exchange for the breaking of fifty acres of his land. This offer met with approval and forty men with oxen or horses hitched to plows arrived at Hanhela's home and in one day broke the fifty acres of ground for him. He in turn deeded the promised ten acres to the Apostolic Lutheran congregation. By united effort the foundation for the church was laid June 3, 1884. The necessary materials and the labor for building the church was by contribution. On June 7, 1884, the first Finnish Lutheran Church structure was in sufficient concrete form to enable the people to hold services in it. Rev. John Takkinen, who had made one visit in 1883 to preach in the homes, arrived from Calumet, MI for the St. John's Day service June 24, 1884. He was the first clergyman in the new church. Carl Daniels of Ludden-Hecla community performed the duties of layman. The congregation was legally organized in 1887 and officers were elected as follows: Chairman, Carl Daniels; Secretary, August Tuomas and Treasurer, Henry Nikkila. Board of Trustees: N.P. Starkka, Solomon West, William Isaacson, John Martinson, Peter Wetelainen and Abram Peldo. A constitution and bylaws were adopted and William Patron Gabrielson was chosen minister. The cemetery was to be located west of the church. Walbur Hanhela, wife of Mart Hanhela, Joshua Walter, the young son of Carl Daniels, were the first deceased to be buried there. Mrs. Hanhela died June of 1883 and the burial service was conducted by Rev. John Takkinen. The Daniels child died in July, 1883. The committal service was performed by Abram Peldo. On Sunday the people traveled great distances to go to church, some on foot, others by horse and wagon. Some had made two wheeled carts and hitched oxen to them. Confirmation instruction began in March, 1887. The first confirmation class to receive Holy Communion were: Carl Jacob Peldo, Peter Herman Wantraja, Paul Alexander Ritola, Henry William Poykko, August Ritola, Albert Koskiniemi, John Jacob Merta-Buro, Maria Karolina Yrjon-Heikki, Hilma Himanga, Emelia Pietila, Aatofina Merta-Buro, Ida Alexandra Poykko and Brita Lisa Laho. Instructors were Rev. N.P. Starkka, Rev. Carl Daniels and Henry Nikkila. Members of the congregation who lived in the James River locality and considered the distance too great to travel to the Savo Church decided in 1887 to construct a church building for themselves. This was built on Fred Holmstrom's land in Portage Township. Committee members included William Wattula, John Korpua, Henry and Sakari Wanttaja, F. Holmstrom, S. Wuolu, Jere Erickson and Matti Merta-Buro. This congregation was also under the authority of the same Board of Trustees as the Savo Church. Sunday School was held in the homes, the children being taught the fundamentals of Christianity by their parents.

Page 1 of 83 Saint John's University Archives > Saint John's University, Collegeville, Minnesota: A Sketch of Its History, by Alexius Hoffmann, OSB > Saint John's University, Collegeville, Minnesota: A Sketch of Its History, by Alexius Hoffmann, OSB Saint John's University, Collegeville, Minnesota: A Sketch of Its History, by Alexius Hoffmann, OSB PREFACE St. John's University, Collegeville, Minnesota: A Sketch of Its History by Alexius Hoffmann, OSB / published by Record Press, Collegeville, Minnesota, 1907. The following pages pretend to be no more than a sketch, in the form of annals, of the history of Saint John’s. As such it is merely a compilation of events that will serve as working material for the future historian. Most of the information was drawn from the annual catalogues the first of which was published in 1870; from the files of newspapers, such as Der Wanderer, of St. Paul, and the St. Cloud Daily Times; from the Saint John’s University Record, private diaries and personal recollections. If many of the happenings chronicled do not rise to the dignity of historical events, the writer’s excuse is that he has addressed himself primarily to the alumni of the institution, to whom the daily doings of college life are as interesting as the larger facts of history. For this reason too the forms of annals was chosen as a dress for the narrative. CHAPTER I Beginnings – The Saint Cloud Priory – Transfers – Final Location – 1856-1867 When, about the middle of last century, that part of central Minnesota lying west of the Mississippi was thrown open for settlement, such a stream of settlers poured in that in a short time the face of the primitive wilderness was changed.

    FOR L A DESIGN lik1S101 ST. JOSEPH OF CARONDELET y- IN THE NORTHWEST A DESIGN FOR LIVING A History of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet in the Northwest By SISTER LAURENT CANTWELL, C.S.J. NORTH CENTRAL PUBLISHING COMPANY SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA 1973 Copyright © 1973 Sister Laurent Cantwell, C.S.J. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Dedication TO the thousands of Sisters of St. Joseph in these United States, in Europe and throughout the world I dedicate this book. Their lives and varying works have brought inspiration and help to multitudes whom they have served in many areas. To my beloved family and many dear friends I also dedicate this work. It is due to their encouragement and faith in me that really prompted me to revise and update my thesis written in partial fulfillment of a Master of Arts degree. Originally my thesis director at the Uni- versity of Minnesota urged me to put into writing an account of the deeds of the Sisters of St. Joseph in the Northwest. To my prospective readers who may become recipients of the knowl- edge of the past and present story, I greatfully present the following piece of historical record. This account I hope will reflect what has been the life work of dedi- cated persons. Their sincere efforts to assist those with whom they came in contact must have left numerous impacts. May our readers, too, benefit after going over the history of our Sisters both in past and in present events. To my publisher, Alfred Muellerleile, whose confidence in me led me to make the final decision to write this work, I likewise dedicate this book.

  • History of North Dakota CHAPTER 22
    516 History of North Dakota CHAPTER 22 Cultural Growth and Adaptation: The Arts, Libraries, Newspapers, and Churches, 1920-1960 IN THE YEARS AFTER the First World War, both North Dakota and the nation witnessed the same cultural trends: the growth of high school and college enrollments, the decline of rural churches and the union of larger church bodies, increased use of libraries, the expansion of daily newspapers, the rapid acceptance of radio and, later, television, and a growing interest in the arts. In North Dakota, as in the nation, the larger urban places were the centers for cultural activities, and women and women’s clubs played a leading role in promoting many of them. While national trends were important, the cultural life of North Dakota was primarily shaped by the state’s rural character. Outside a dozen urban centers, the population was spread very thinly over a large area. Churches, newspapers, and libraries faced the problem of serving small numbers of widely separated people. To meet these needs, the pioneers had established many country churches, many weekly newspapers, and many library associations, so that by 1920, North Dakota had an oversupply of these and other cultural agencies. Many were too small and weak to survive or do effective work. What was needed was to tie the cultural life of the larger towns more thoroughly and intimately to the rural areas, to create in some way the large communities which automobiles and improved roads made possible. In other words, the state’s cultural life had to be adapted to existing environmental conditions.
