1867. the same being incorporated December 1, 1868. The original mem- bers were J. Green, M. B. Atwater, F. P. Miller, S. Van Riper, Thomas Arthur, D. and R. Ryan.
The corner stone for the church was laid in September, 1871, and the edifice was finished, except the spire, in Easter time, 1874. The cost of church, furnishings, painting and grounds, amounted to about six thou- sand dollars.
The rectors who served, so far as can now be learned, were Revs. W. T. Currie, T. B. Newby, J. H. Magoffin. S. C. Gaynor.
In 1878 the record shows that there were about thirty communicants in St. Stephen parish. In later years the society found it impossible to sup- port a regular rector and services were discontinued for a long period at a time, but in the spring of 1911 the society had been revived again and a regular pastor secured and regular services are now hield again.
MORMON CHURCH.
There have been but two societies of these religionists in this county, and that was the church formed at Newton about 1858 and continued about a quarter of a century. John X. Davis was its president. It came to have a membership of about forty, who held services in a hall on the north side of the public square. The belief of this peculiar sect is based jointly on the Bible and the "Book of Mormon." which latter was accepted as a later revelation to the original Bible.
A society flourished at Monroe for a number of years, but finally went down.
LUTHERAN CHURCH
AT KELLOGG.
St. Clement's Lutheran church at Kellogg was formed in 1869. by Rev. F. A. Boden, who served as pastor many years. In 1878 the congre- gation had a membership amounting to thirty families. In 1873 a house of worship was erected at a cost of one thousand three hundred and sixty-five dollars. The present membership is about seventy communicants. The first child christened here was that of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Boden, August 31. 1873. Rev. J. G. Olterman, now of State Center, Iowa, was pastor here until a few months since, he being the last pastor serving the congregation.
At Elk Creek, this denomination has another church of about seventy- five communicants, worshipping in a frame church erected in 1900.

THE NEWTON LUTHERAN CHURCH.
This society was organized in July, 1868, under the labors of Rev. H. S. Cook. The first members were Mrs. Elizabeth Failor, Mr. Ramsey, and wife, Joseph Lyday and wife, John Dutot and wife, J. T. Newell and wife, Dr. Benjamin Failor and wife and Andrew Failor.
A house of worship was erected in 1873, known as the "Ten-Cent Church." About two thousand dollars was raised by the society and about five hundred dollars by the people of Newton, regardless of denominational lines. This not being sufficient to carry out their plans, the pastor sent let- ters to churches in Pennsylvania, Ohio and other states, soliciting ten-cent subscriptions from each member in the Eastern churches. About eight hundred dollars was thus realized. The structure was built of brick, a short distance from the northeast angle of the public square and is still in use. In 1878 this society had a membership of about fifty and at present it has one hundred and fifty-six. The society owns the church and a good frame parsonage, near by. The pastors who have cared for this congregation since its organization have been : Revs. H. S. Cook, 1869. to September 6, 1876; Walter L. Lilly, April 8, 1877, to 1878; J. H. Culler. 1879 to 1884: Albert Bell. 1884-87; Rev. O. F. Weaver, B. F. Grenoble, 1888-92; Rev. Litzell, Rev. Simon, Rev. Tait, Rev. Dieffenbach, W. L. Bright.
The records show the church was established with seventeen members.
THE GERMAN REFORMED CHURCH.
The Bethany German Reformed church at Baxter was located one mile east of the village. November 7. 1869, with about twenty-six constituent members, including these; Simon Haeger, Henry Krueger, Karl Krueger, Simon Klemme. Henry Haeger. Frederick Krampe, William Hermsmeier. Henry Krampe and Henry Kanne.
The following have served as pastors: Rev. Solomon Elliker, from July 4. 1869. to August 26, 1883; Rev. A. Heineman, from November 7. 1883, to January 13, 1889; Rev. Edward Scheidt, from January 27, 1889, to October. 1907: Rev. Paul Treager, from April 5. 1908, and still pastor.
The first church building was dedicated July 25, 1869: this becoming too small, another church was erected in its place and dedicated August 18, 1878; it was thirty-six by fifty-four feet, built of wood. The interior was tastefully arranged and fitted out with a large two-manual pipe organ. On Christmas day, 1910, this edifice was totally destroyed by fire. Another

church of pressed brick, forty by seventy-eight feet, with a steeple eighty feet high, in gothic style, is now under course of construction.
The congregation owns a large parsonage, a school house. for parochial purposes and different buildings of wood construction, representing a total value of about twenty thousand dollars. All buildings are located close to- gether on a two and one-half acre tract. It also owns a cemetery of two and a half acres, located a half mile north of the church.
The congregation is now composed of two hundred and fifty communi- cating members. This is now, perhaps, the only church in Jasper county where regular school is kept exclusively in the German language and where all services are conducted entirely in the same language.
Another church of this denomination is located seven miles east of Baxter, known as the Reformed Zoar church.
REFORMED CHURCH.
At Galesburg, this county, there was formed a church of the Reformed denomination, early in July, 1891. The Reformed Church in America be- gan mission work at this point and in October. 1891, the society was or- ganized. At first the congregation worshiped in the Methodist Episcopal church, later in the Christian church, and then for a time on the second floor of the parsonage. In the fall of 1897 the building of a church was contemplated, and on the IIth of April. 1898. the corner stone was laid and on July 13th, the same year, this neat mission church was most joy- fully dedicated. People from different parts of the country and pastors from the various denominations participated.
THIE CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCH.
This denomination is a branch of the great Reformed church of the world. It differs from the Dutch Reformed church only in minor affairs, and in the old country is all one body. At Sully, this county, this church was formed in 1896. The denominations are represented in many states and territories in this Union. Among the original charter members at Sully were these: D. Van Zante, of Sully, and A. G. Vos, of Galesburg. At present there are eight consistory members. The present total membership is three hundred and forty-five souls, or sixty-five families.
The church building is located on the road from Killduff to Lynnville in the edge of the village of Sully. It is forty-four by sixty-six feet. The
I87

basement is of cement blocks, nine feet high, the balance being of frame. It stands on a tract of eleven acres of land with the parsonage in the center. The first church was sold to the Congregational people and in January, 1911, a new edifice was dedicated, which, together with the parsonage, etc., is valued at ten thousand dollars.
The growth of the church is slow from the fact that teaching takes much pains and time. Most of the congregation are farmers and the high price of the land in this county keeps many from settling here, hence a slow growth in congregation matters, but good, thorough work is effected.
The following have served as pastors at this point: Revs. J. Van der Mey, 1897-1903: W. Stuart, 1904-07: M. Van der Heide, 1908-10; the present pastor in charge is Rev. H. Danhof, who came and was installed September 18, 1910.
CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCH OF GALESBURG.
This society was organized in 1898 with eight families and seventeen communicants and about twenty members by baptism. Garret Uppel and family are among the first and strongest members of the church here, al- ways being counted on and present when possible to attend services. He is eighty-three years old, but neither summer's heat nor winter's blast pre- vents him coming to church. He lives all of five miles from his church.
At first the society rented a place to worship, but in a few years pur- chased the old Christian church building and have since used that as a church home. About 1907 the society bought a parsonage at a cost of one thousand, three hundred dollars. Among the pastors here may be re- called. Rev. J. Van der Mey. 1903-4: Rev. Van der Hock, 1905-08, and the present pastor, Rev. S. Bouma, who came in 1909.
The church now has a membership of twenty-two families, forty-two communicants and sixty members by baptism-all told, one hundred and two. All services are held in the Holland language.
REFORMED CHURCHI OF SULLY.
This society was organized as the First Reformed church December 7. 1904, and now has forty-six members, including these: John Verenkamp and wife, Cornelius De Jong, G. Van Workman and wife, Mr. and Mrs. James Dykstra, W. Kooistra and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Wisgerhof and names not now at hand.

JASPER COUNTY, IOWA.
The list of pastors includes the following: Revs. B. Bruim, from No- vember, 1905. to November, 1907 : John Hoffman, from July 1, 1908, and still serving the church as its pastor.
The church and parsonage. both frame buildings, at Sully, are valued at fifteen hundred dollars.
THE SOCIETY OF FRIENDS (ORTHODOX).
This denomination has two societies within Jasper county at the present date. The first work of this good sect was in the early fifties, near Lynnville. They first formed into a society in 1851 at Lynn Grove. Just a few years prior to this came to this settlement Ambrose Osborn and family, who located there. He purchased the mill erected by Mr. Sparks. Soon after this came Jervis Johnson, accompanied by his wife, Melissa, and four sons, who emigrated from Indiana. Then came Jesse Arnold, his wife, Sarah. and six children : Henry Zimmerman and wife, Paris Mendenhall and fam- ily, Solomon Edwards and family. Such a number desired meetings and came under the Sugar Creek (now Oskaloosa ) monthly meeting. J. A. Grin- nell was their first preacher.
This pioneer effort upon the part of the Friends was made known to those of like faith living in Indiana and large numbers came hither. From out this number of Friends was organized the Sugar Creek, Chester and Lynnville meetings. About 1858 they commenced to hold monthly meet- ings and by 1878 they had come to number of four hundred. These, to- gether with those at Kellogg, made up a quarterly meeting known as Lynn Grove quarter, having a membership of six hundred and thirty-one in 1877. In 1856 a meeting house was built thirty by sixty feet in size. Later, meet- ings were held in the old academy.
The present Friends' church at Lynnville was erected in 1899 at a cost of two thousand dollars, when material and labor was much lower than at this date. The present membership of this society is two hundred and eighty- three.
THE CHESTER CHURCH FRIENDS' SOCIETY.
Among the early settlers in Lynn Grove township were believers in the faith of the Friends (Quakers). Among the pioneers of this church are recalled now the names of Lemuel and Thomas Butler, Warren Bufkin, Will- iam Dysart, A. T. Kirk, Eli White, James Williams and others. These peo- ple all came in from Indiana and most of them had families partly grown to manhood and womanhood at the time of their coming.
189
JASPER COUNTY, IOWA.
The first prairie was broken in 1855 and the first house erected in 1856. While improving their lands and making for themselves comfortable homes, they forgot not the God of their fathers beyond the rolling waters of the Mis- sissippi river from whenee they had emigrated. They formed here a church and set in motion the wheels of a common school. For a time this settlement attended meeting at Lynnville, but soon provided one nearer to their homes. The first meeting was held at the home of Lemuel Butler. After the school house was erected that was also used for meeting house purposes, until 1857, when a church was built. The first minister in this neighborhood was Jane Jones, Mattie Bufkin, Anna White, Aaron Symons and his wife, Anna, were included among the early ministers of this church. After 1887 Charles Renaud faithfully served as minister for a number of years and was still there in 1901. The membership was small, but they believed it their duty to maintain a home meeting.
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH.
This denomination is not now represented largely in Jasper county. A small body of this faith of religionists was organized at Monroe in 1871, by Elder Canright. The first members were Rebecca and Sarah A. Stemm, John Johnson and wife, Joseph Bennington and wife and George Marshall and wife. This denomination has not grown to any considerable extent in Jasper county with the passing of the years.
AFRICAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCHI.
This society was organized by the colored people of Newton of this de- nomination in 1877, and a house of worship was provided in the northeast part of the city by the purchase of an old frame school house, which, after a number of years, was rebuilt into a respectable church edifice which still serves the congregation, which includes many of the colored people of the place, there being only the one African church in Newton.
YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.
A society of this order was established at Newton in February, 1874, with seven members. The officers were: S. J. Moyer, president; J. C. Aydelotte, vice-president: David Van Giesen, treasurer : James Mitchell, Charles Jackson, Charles A. Clark, trustees.
190
JASPER COUNTY, IOWA.
A mission Sabbath school was organized by this association in North Newton in March, 1876.
The association also established a lecture course in 1877, which was highly successful. A. reading room was maintained, open afternoons and evenings, as well as Sundays. For a number of years this society was very active, but with the formation of other kindred societies within the numerous churches, the Young Men's Christian Association was allowed to run down.
CHAPTER XIII.
CIVIC SOCIETIES OF THE COUNTY.
In almost every part of the civilized globe there are found secret orders of various kinds, both ancient and modern in their origin. Of recent years- the last forty-there have sprung up a legion of beneficiary societies, semi- secret in their workings, but it is not of this class that this chapter will treat. for they are too numerous and of too little general interest. They come and go like the shadows -- some are good and some are spurious. As most of these are now under state control, they afford a very safe life insurance, and have coupled with them some very excellent work and are quite good social or- ganizations. Among such, in this county, may be named in passing. the Woodmen, Workmen. Knights of Columbus, Red Men, Ben Hur, etc.
This chapter will seek only to give the general history, organization, present standing, etc., of the three great civic orders of this century, the Masons, Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias.
ANCIENT FREE AND ACCEPTED MASONS.
The first Masonic lodge instituted within Jasper county was Newton Lodge No. 59. founded under dispensation of James L. Hogin, grand master, March 30, 1855. The first officers were: R. D. Minard, worshipful master ; Jesse Rickman, senior warden: Hugh. Rodgers, junior warden ; S. Cooper, treasurer: Elisha Hammer, secretary: William Rodgers, senior deacon; Z. M. Allen, junior deacon ; Lewis Helfry, tiler.
Hugh Rodgers represented this little band as proxy for the worshipful master at the grand lodge the following June, the session being held at Keosaqua. The report of that session remarked in record: "The work of this lodge is mostly square. The lodge was opened May 26, 1855, and has not yet been closed. Otherwise the work is good and the by-laws correct. They recommend that a charter be granted to said lodge by the name of Newton, No .--. ". Later in the grand lodge the number "59" was be- stowed upon this lodge. The lodge was represented at grand lodge at Oska- loosa in 1856 by Jesse Rickman. It does not appear that any "work" was done until in June, 1855. but a year later the following had "formed the

Matthews, William H. Silssby, G. W. Louthian, William Dinwiddy, Riley Ashley, A. R. Joslin, William Dunn, Thomas Pearson, Henry Blake, Levi Combs, S. W. Foreman, T. J. Dinsmore. At the close of 1858 this lodge had a membership of forty- two. In 1878 it had increased to one hundred and twenty-eight.
In 1875, in conjunction with the chapter and commandery, they built a third story over the building erected by Morgan & Ledyard and R. Burns, on the west side of the public square, which was fitted up for their use at a cost of twelve thousand dollars. The rooms and equipment of this hall were, in their first days, considered as good as any in Iowa.
The present number in this lodge is two hundred and sixty-four. Its officers in the spring of 1911 were as follows: James E. Callison, worshipful master; Frank Wilson, senior warden: O. N. Green, junior warden; Christ- ian Griebling, treasurer; Fred L. Kennedy, secretary: J. B. Harvey, senior deacon : John W. Kennington, junior deacon; David Conn, senior steward; George F. Scott, junior steward; L. B. Westbrook, tiler.

Putnam as worshipful master ; D. S. Smoke, senior warden, and John Tyler as junior warden. Nothing was accomplished, however (owing to some irregularities in admitting members without proper recommendations), until 1857. In 1858 John Tyler became worshipful master and three members had been ad- mitted by initiation: then three had been passed and three raised, four de- mitted and the total membership was twenty-one.

The lodge was finally chartered in 1857, but from internal causes the charter was surrendered in June, 1859, when the body ceased to exist. After the close of the Civil war and in 1866 the fires of Masonry were again lighted here in Monroe and a dispensation was issued in June of that year to Fair- view Lodge No. 194. The first officers of the new lodge were : G. R. Led- yard, worshipful master : G. W. Richards, senior warden : John Taylor, junior warden. The lodge was chartered as No. 194 in the following year.
