The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1897-12-04

! The year 1877 was strewn with finan-
clal wrecks, the civil war made it worse,
| and SO dis church went the way of the
! fortunes of its members and ceased to
exist, though services were held at
! times in an old store buildingon Second
street. but soon this, too, WAS deserted,
| and NethOdism vas extinct in Superior
except a lingering member or two. The
! rest moved away and Superior collapsed
and wreck and ruin was visible every
/ where.
| In 1867 the annual conference of
! Wisconsin in session at Sparta was re-
! minded by some old timer that there
was place by the name of Superior,
and they sent the Rev. VIM. IIaw as
! pastor and also as presiding elder of 4
| district formed at the head OF the lakes
i in the states of Minnesota and Nlscon-
SIN. 1t is told Us that after eleven days
! of travel through the forest he reached
Superior with his family. He pro-
! ceeded like a good business man to
/ make an inventory of goods on hand.
| The records tell US that he found a few
who still were willing to be counted
! MethoiiSts, who had been faithful
| though they had been comparatively
| lost to the main body of the church for
several years. The list reads As follows:
/ K. G COburn and his wife Charlotte,
! Charles Felt ana wife Caroline, III. ID.
] 1 ., | ,,I
! wife, l.. w. Palmer. l.. II. Palmer, NJ.
! Eliot, Stephen Bun.J and his wife
Margaret.
! The next year, August -, 1865, he or
gained a class at OncOta, MINI, COM
/ posed of two families. and the names as
! appears by the record were "a follows:
7 L. III. Merritt, ii. Merritt, J. Merritt, J
/ Merritt, +. ". Merritt, Martha Ayers,
+ Alvima Ayers and Amelia Ayers, but be-
/ fore the close Of the year this class had
increased to twenty AMI nine pruba-
TONERS. twcnty-nine in all. One can
see that there was very much Merritt IN
the first class in Oneota, and 50 it is TO
! this dav. The children and grand-Chll-
dren still cling to the religious belief
of their fOretathers, and within the last
few wears a Merritt was pastor and
sixty MerrittS or connections attended
the same church and 1t can still be
trutlfuilv said that there is not dISsl-
pated or WORTHLESS one among them.
All honor to the Merritts and may thew
vet recover their rights and become
mi!lionaires. 1t might be related here
that within the last few years they built
an elegant church, and just as 1t was
completed the first service held was the
funeral service of {. c. Merritt, six OF
the deccased's brothers acting as pail
bearers The Oneota class Was the first
offspring of Old Superior church, bot
another step was taken toward the
spreading Of the gospel under the aus
nices of the Methodist church on July
q. 1859, when a board Of trust e.
was or-auled in Oneota at quarterly
meeting for Oneota and Duluth circuit
The board OF trustees, consisting OF Geo
c. Stone. 4. f. Parker. II. Elliot, J. L
Wheeler, and 4. Merritt, Misses Net
teton and Sargent donated Lot i OF
Second street. Duluth, tor the erection
of church Inildlng. which Was soon
thereafter built. and stood until a fe "
wears ago, after being enlarged several
times AMI then torn down AMI replaced
