The attorney general replied. sThe

buildings Of the community. Work
men are razing the frame structure
on the southeast corner of Thirteenth
street and Fifth avenue which over
half q century served as house of

erau congregation.
1t was in 1861 that the church was
built, the original site being on the
southwest corner of the intersection.

structure 36 by 40 feet, with 15-foot
ceiling, was erected, following a gath
ering held on Dec. /, 1851, within a
year after the arrival OF the first
Swedish immigrants in the Plow City.
At the time of the dedication, Jan.
II, 1852, a $50 bell was bought, being
quite a novelty in those pioneer days,
and It was used until the present
church was erected and then given to
the church at Port Byron, where 1t is
still doing duty,
Early records OF the congregation
show that in 1858 there were "A MEM

municants had reached 43. Because
of the crowded conditions, it was nee
essary for a f4-foot addition to be
made, in 1858, and in 1866 another
addition of the same size was made.
