HISTORIC CHAPEL DESTROYED.
Landmark Near Creston Burned Dur.
ING Electric Storm.


Creston, May 6.-The Pilgrim Con-
gregational chapel. located six miles
south OF Creston. was completely de-
stroyel by fire Sunday night.
The news will be received with deep
regret by many Of the old time resi-
dents OF Creston and vicinity. as, like
other pioneer churches, it has most
interesting history. The chapel has
been a landmark in that section for
nearly forty years. 1t was built main
~ by the generosity and interest OF
the senior. William T. Idc, and his
family, and their friends in New Eng
land, assisted by the few families OF
the then new settlement. Mr.. Idle died
soon after the chapel was completed.
The land upon which the chapel was
erected was donated by Lewis Troyer
and family.
This site, which has been graced by
this pioneer chapel for SO many years,
is a most slightly spot, it has been
cared for and beautified by willing
and interested membership. The spire
of the building was high enough to
reach above the trees. ana could be
seen from miles around.
The membership of this church is
now scattered, many Of the families, or
individual members. being now located
in as many widely distant points.

his service. the land being located
six miles south of the present site Of
the city of Perry. He purchased forty
acres more adjoining the $50, and i'm
proved it. making thereof one Of the
best farms in Iowa. He still owns it
and gives it his personal supervision,
tho 80 years of age. He lives in Perry
with his daughter Mrs. D. l.. Long,
at 1924 Evelyn street.
"Mr. Rouse is enjoying excellent

Mr.. John Ross was also soldier in
the Mexican war, but l can not give
you his company and regiment. His
