st. Peter, Mimi, Feb. 1O.-Forty
years ago tomorrow, John N. Treadwell
was ordained an elder Of the Union
Presbyterian church of this city. Altho
there may be church officers in the
northwest who have held positions in
different churches for as many years,
his record for continuous service is
probably without parallel and it is
likely that there is not another instance
where man has been an elder of the
same church for four decades. Tomor-
row morning the resident pastor, Rev.
Lewis S. Hall, will hold special services
to commemorate the unusual ami
versary.
Mr. Treadwell was originally Or
dained as an elder of the First Presby'
terrain church by Rev. Aaron H. Kerr
who founded the church in 1856 and
was subsequently chaplain of the Ninth
Minnesota infantry during the civil
war, and in 1857 was one Of the repre-
sentatives Of the local congregation al
the organization Of the Mankato Pres
bytery.
Two years later, in August, 1859, thu
TT6e L I6SUy G6Ildu CuuICu VI lIdf0ISs
des Sioux united with the First Presby
terrain church of st. Peter to form thu
present Union Presbyterian church. Thu
Traverse des Sioux congregation is thu
oldest in the Presbytery and one of thu
oldest in Minnesota It was organized
Nov. 5, 1853, by Rev. Moses N. Adams
missionary among the Sioux Indians
and one Of it's early ministers was Rev
Edward Eggleston, author and his
torian, whose famous book, eth
Z Hoosier Schoolmaster, is classic O.
. American fiction.
- When the churches were consolidated
:: Mr.. Treadwel was continued as an eide
and his service has never been inter
& rupted. He is now senior member an
Z clerk of the session and his interest i
religious work is undiminished.
Mr.. Treadwell 8 residence in Mime
sofa dates back to territorial days. H
was born at Deposit, N. Y, in 1928, an
in 1855 went to St. Paul, where he wa
engaged as a bookkeeper and account
ant Coming to st. Peter in 1862, h
formed a partnership with F. A. Duns
hover and was associated with him
the mercantile business for ten year
Mr.. Treadwell is now vicepresident {
the First National bank. During th
session of 1s74-5 he represented Nico
let county in the state legislature.

and served in that office continuously
for twenty seven years, until he died
He was a brother Of Colonel Henry Cas-
son Of Madison, formerly secretary o.
state and now sergeant-at-arms OF TIT
