MYRON CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.



    In the early spring of 1883 a few Christian neighbors gathered at the home

of Mrs. K. Wirts, on section 3-119-69 and organized a Sunday school which, with

many changes, is still in existence.



    The following spring, 1884, Rev. Clinton Douglas of Faulkton, learning of

this Sunday school and the interestedness of the people in it, called on some of

the prominent workers, offering his services for an occasional sermon on Sunday

afternoon.



    The interest increased, and in April, 1895, an organization was perfected,

called the Congregational church of Myron with the following members and officers:



    Members, S. L,. Maltby, Mrs. J. A. Stoddard, Mrs. Louise Kimball, Mrs. Kate

Wirts, Miss Annie Wirts, Joseph Powell, Mrs. Sadie Powell, Wm. Bigelow and Mrs.

Helen L. Treat.



Pastor, Rev. Clinton Douglas.

Deacons, Joseph Powell and Stephen Maltby.

Trustees, J. H. Treat, Joseph Powell and Wm. Bigelow.

Clerk, Mrs. H. L. Treat.

Treasurer, Mrs. Sadie Powell.



    About this time steps were taken for a permanent church home, and by the

united efforts of pastor, people and Church Building Society, the now existing

Myron church was erected on section 7-119-68 and dedicated in November, 1896.



    M. Bodine and J. H. Treat drew the first load of stone onto the ground for

the church.
