This was done by Rev. S. J. Osterberg, now deceased. A fewyears after the organization a great number was added by those who camefrom Moline and WoodhuU, Illinois.

The accompanying half-tone engraving is of the Swedish Lutheranchurch. This handsome edifice was erected in iSgS and dedicated Mav14, 1899. Its dimensions are 36x54 feet with an addition of 24x26 feet, •and a steeple 65 feet high. The total cost of the church and all appurte-nances will aggregate I3.300.00 to say nothing of the gratuitous labor. which would have amounted to several hundred dollars. The furnishingsare fine. The bell, one of the largest and best in Kansas, was made inSt. Louis by the Henry Stuckstade Foundry. The architect was Olof Z.Cervin, of Rock Island, Illinois. The builders were Huff Brothers ofSavonburg. This church is three miles west of Savonburg, in the midst of theSwedish settlement of East Cottage Grove and Elsmore townships. Rev.O.
