"It is reported the storm originated about two miles south- west of town on John Olson's farm, where a barn was wrecked and a boy. Henry Frederickson. was killed.
"Returning to the scene of death, where it was known several human souls lay buried under the debris, words are wholly in- adequate to convey to the mind of the reader the awfulness of the scene. The groans of the crushed and dying. the cries and shrieks of women and children, the agony of suspense, which seemed ages, and the untold and heartrending expression of grief as some father. husband or brother was uncovered, dead or mutilated and crushed almost beyond recognition. cannot be expressed by feeble words. To those who were there it was an event never to be forgotten. Within thirty minutes after the disaster occurred, the bodies, one by one. were uncovered and cared for. The men worked with the strength of giants and no one thought of being weary. Intelligence was sent over the wires of our misfortune, and kind friends and neighbors from the surrounding country and towns came promptly to help the weary and give medical aid to the suffering. Drs. Chamberlain and Couplin, of Waterville, drove down the seven miles in thirty minutes, and rendered valuable medical aid to the injured free. So far as can be estimated the storm did about $6,000 damages, the heaviest losers being Dr. Dargavel, Paul Gatzke and J. P. Temple ; Gatzke had $2.500 cyclone insurance, and Temple $100 on barn. Others who lost more or less are: Mrs. Purinton, C.

"Jim Morgan, while fishing at the dam during the cyclone, was struck on the shoulder with a board, causing a fracture of the bones. Bernard Smith, who had just come out of the saloon after delivering ice, was picked up by the storm and carried across the street, where he struck the telephone wires and stopped, dropping down into an old cellar. He was bruised considerably, but not seriously.
"This is the third great disaster Morristown has had within the past eight months. On January 29, was the general confla- gration. April 24 Laufenburger & Ebel's store burned."
SCHOOLS.
Morristown Graded Schools. Morristown is fortunate in hav- ing an excellent public school, which for many years has been known for the thoroughness of its instruction, the ability of its board of education and the talent of its teachers. The first school in the village of Morristown was in a log shanty, twelve by fourteen feet, and was taught by Isaac Ilammond in the winter of 1855-56, there being twelve scholars registered. In 1857, the district in the meantime having been legally organized. a frame schoolhouse was erected, twenty-four by forty feet, at a cost of $800. This building served the purpose for which it was erected until 1873, when a neat and substantial building was erected at a cost of $2,000. Additions were made from time to time, and in 1904 a two-story brick building, containing six rooms and a library was erected at a cost of about $10,000. The present principal is Ambrose Hays.
CEMETERY.
Morristown Cemetery Association. Riverside Cemetery is well situated within the city limits, and includes about three acres of ground, most of which was donated at an early day by Mrs. Sarah Morris, and some of which was purchased by the Cemetery Association in 1908. The site was selected in the earliest days, and the first burials are supposed to have been those of Jonathan Morris and his wife. In 1887, a meeting of citizens was held for the purpose of organizing the Morristown Cemetery Association. Among those present were: Dr. Sam- uel B. Coe, J. B. Hopkins, B. F. Buck, C. C. Aldrich, H. Welch, J. M. Rohrer, H. H. Osterhout and J. W. Jackson. The present officers of the association are: President, J. P. Temple; secre- tary, L. J. Eisert ; treasurer, E. R. Bloomer.

INDUSTRIES.
The Morristown State Bank. This bank, which is one of the strong financial institutions of this part of the state, was organized March 8, 1899, with a capital stock of $10,000, which in 1900 was increased to $20,000. The first board of directors consisted of J. L. Saufferer, Isaac N. Donaldson, A. J. Speckeen, L. M. Hollister, George Molm. J. P. Temple and Seth H. Kenny. The following gentlemen comprised the first board of officers: President, A. J. Speckeen : vice president, L. M. Hollister ; cashier, Isaac N. Donaldson ; assistant cashier, Herbert W. Don- aldson. The doors were opened for business April 5, 1899, and ever since that date the bank has continued to increase its busi- ness. Isaac N. Donaldson is now the president ; L. M. Hollister, the vice president : Herbert W. Donaldson, cashier : and Miss H. O. Widrick, the assistant cashier. C. J. Saufferer has suc- ceeded his father J. L., and H. W. Donaldson has succeeded I. N. Donaldson, otherwise the board of directors is the same as it was at the organization. The bank is housed in a fine brick building, with the telephone exchange in the rear. The upper floor is devoted to lodge purposes by the Masonic order. In addition to its banking business, the bank also carries a full line of various kinds of property insurance. Following is a con- densation of the statement made to the state superintendent of banks, January 31, 1910:
Resources-Loans and discounts. $96,338.76; overdrafts, $113.94; banking house, furniture and fixtures, $4,500.03; due from banks, $28,291.56; cash on hand, $4.788.14. Total. $134,032.43.
Liabilities-Capital stock. $20,000 ; surplus. $4.000; undivided profits, $1,424.74; deposits, $108,607.69. Total, $134,032.43.
Railroad. The Chicago and Great Western, then the Can- non Valley railroad. was put in operation through Morristown in 1882, coming from Red Wing. via Northfield and Faribault. and being pushed on to Mankato the same year. The route was surveyed in the late seventies, but the actual work was not pressed until the spring of 1882, when there was a railroad war between two rival companies, each trying to reach Northfield from Red Wing first. The railroad has done much for Mor- ristown, and the town of Morristown also assisted the railroad. voting $10,000 bonds to the Minnesota Central Railroad Com- pany, which succeeded the old Cannon Valley Railroad Company and preceded the Chicago Great Western. The line enters the township in section 13 and leaves it in section 30.
Big Diamond Milling Company. This company conducts one of the most important industries in Morristown, and for nearly
601
HISTORY OF RICE AND STEELE COUNTIES
three and a half decades has contributed much to the prosperity of the village. It was started as the Morristown Mills in 1876, by a stock company, of which A. E. Barkley was president, and C. D. Adams, William Shaw, Tobias Ohler and Christian Ra- mund, directors. A mill was erected on the south bank of the Cannon, a four-story frame building, with stone basement and engine house, at a cost of about $43,000. In 1880, George W. Newell purchased the property, and in 1881 made many improve- ments. From time to time other alterations and additions have been made, including the erection of a new elevator in 1909, the elevator being eighty-seven feet in height and having a capacity of 40,000 bushels. Wilbur B. Adams is the present manager. The name Big Diamond was taken about January 1, 1909. The mill is owned by the Big Diamond Milling Company, of Min- neapolis.
The Morristown Creamery Association was organized in the spring of 1896, and the original cost of the plant was $2,773.31. The first officers were: President, J. P. Temple ; treasurer, L. M. Hollister ; secretary and manager, J. W. Jackson ; directors, M. S. Randall, George Molm and S. J. Chapman. The first year's business was $7,171.34, and the average price paid patrons was 1614 cents per pound for butter fat. From this small start, the business has grown steadily each year. In 1907 a new brick plant was built, and new machinery added. At the present time, the plant, together with the house and storeroom and grounds, are valued at $10,000. The business done in 1909 amounted to nearly $60,000. Julius D. Plonty has been the but- ter-maker for the past ten years. At the Pan-American Expo- sition in Buffalo, he received the second highest score for the quality of his butter, and the quality of his product is such that Morristown creamery receives for its butter a 3-cent premium above the New York quotations. The present officers are: President, J. J. Miller ; secretary, E. R. Bloomer ; treasurer, L. M. Hollister ; directors, George Mohm, A. H. Wegner, M. Holmes.
The Morristown Telephone Company. A preliminary meet- ing was held February 19, 1903, in Morristown, to consider the matter of forming a local telephone company. Charles Knauss was appointed chairman and L. F. Von Eschen, secretary. A committee of three, consisting of Charles Knauss, S. R. Miller and J. J. Miller, was appointed to investigate the matter thor- oughly. The following subscribers were obtained: A. Mac- donald, Molm and Donaldson, J. C. Knauss, R. A. Wolf, C. J. Knauss, Morristown Lumber Company, W. C. Knauss, William Nordmier, Charles Bonin, D. Bosshardt, E. W. Nordmier, George Youse, Miller Bros. & Co., A. Habein, Fred Backer, Dr. J. Dar- gavel, J. D.

CHURCHES.
The Baptist Church of Morristown had its beginning in pio- neer days, when Elder Gale preached to the people of that faith who had settled here. The present church edifice was erected in the fall of 1888 and dedicated the following spring. The pas- tors of the church since 1858 have been as follows: T. R. Cres- sey, Elder Towne, Andrew Cushing. C. S. Smith, C. S. Luce. A. D. Williams, E. Thompson, R. A. Shadick, J. S. Cox, N. E. Chapman, W. E. Frate. C. E. Rowe, C. O. Reahr, E. Thompson. M. B. Critchett and M. L. Reynolds.
St. John's Church, Protestant Episcopal, was organized about 1858, when services were held here by the Rev. James Lloyd Breck, D. D. In 1864 a comfortable church was erected. At the present time the parish is in charge of the Rev. Isaac Houl- gate, of Minneapolis, who also serves a number of other churches and parishes. Being so near Faribault, the names of all that array of noble ecclesiastics who have been prominent in the Bishop Seabury Mission also figure conspicuously in the annals of this church.
The Methodist Episcopal Church, of Morristown, had its be- ginning in 1856, when the Rev. A. V. Hisscock held services in this vicinity. The organization of the church took place that year at the home of Coleman Bloomer, and at the same time a Sunday school, known as the Pleasant Ridge Sunday school. was organized. In 1858 the society moved to the village of Morristown. In 1874 a church building was started, but it was not completed until some time later. Among some of the early
603

The Congregational Church, of Morristown was organized May 5, 1878, and incorporated August 5 of the same year. Early services were held in Coe's Hall, by Rev. W. L. Sutherland, the first pastor, who preached his first sermon June 23, 1878. The charter members of the church were Samuel B. Coe, M. D., and wife ; Brayton Hopkins and wife ; J. B. Hopkins and wife, Anna Mahony, Mrs. D. V. McNitt, Mrs. Sarah R. Short and Mrs. Nettie Warner. The church building was dedicated October 1, 1879. The present pastor is the Rev. Herbert E. Chapman.
The German Evangelical Lutheran Trinity Church of the Un- altered Augsberg Confession is located in section 4, Morristown township, about five miles to the northward of Morristown vil- lage. It belongs to the Minnesota and Dakota district of the German Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Missouri, Ohio and other states. Surrounding it is quite a colony of German people, industrious, frugal, hardworking and prosperous. The church had its inception in 1864. with the arrival in this locality of John Weber and Susanna Weber, his wife, and their children, John. Jake, Christian, Christina, Salome and Dorothea, together with Salome's husband, Charles Wagner, and two children, Charles and Catherine (now Mrs. Frank Schneider), and Dorothea's hus- band, Mathias Bauer, and their son, John Leonhard Kruezer, and his wife, nee Susanna Weber, at that time lived in Kilkenny with their two children. A little colony was formed in the northern part of Morristown township, and braving the hard- ships of pioneer life, the people established the foundations of their future prosperity. July 27, the first child in this colony was born to Jacob Bauer. In September, 1866, a wedding was celebrated between Gerhart Niebel and Christina Weber. In August, 1868, Rev. C. G. T. Krause, of Faribault, having heard that these people were Lutherans, arrived at John Weber's home, and in the evening held service in Mr. Weber's log hut, making arrangements to come every third Sunday. Rev. Krause was the first to have spiritual charge of this settlement. Sep-

tember 24, 1868, he baptized Emil Wagner. While ill at Fari- bault he married Jacob Weber and Louisa Oehler. Rev. Krause was succeeded at Faribault by Rev. A. Sippel, who had been his assistant. The new pastor also took under his care the Weber colony. March 10, John Weber, Sr., died, and as the inclement weather made it almost impossible for the mourners to reach any of the older cemeteries. a new cemetery was started in con- nection with the church, John Weber's body being the first one interred therein. This burial took place March 14, 1874. Rev. A. Sippel's successor was Rev. J. S. Hertrich, and it was he who organized a church in the Weber settlement, at the home of Matthias Bauer. The first members were : Charles Wagner, Sr., Matthias Bauer, John Weber, Jake Weber, Christ Bauer, Gott- lieb Oehler, Gerhard Niebel, all of the town of Morristown, with Leonhard Kreuzer, of Kilkenny, and August Spitzack, of Shields- ville. The first officers were Charles Wagner, John Weber and August Spitzack. At the first confirmation there was a class of four-John Bauer, Charles Wagner, Jr., Catharine Wagner and August Spitzack, Jr. From November, 1879, to February, 1880, an epidemic of diphtheria swept the colony, and many children died. Soon after this John Weber gave a piece of land opposite the residence of Albert Wagner, and the congregation started to erect a log church. In 1881, Rev. 11. Schulz succeeded Rev. Hertrich at Faribault and at the Weber settlement. In the middle of 1881 the log church was completed and dedicated the following year. Oct. 11, 1885, the congregation was incorpo- rated. In 1887 a new church was erected, and was dedicated the following year. In 1892 the congregation decided to have a pas- tor of its own, and called August Zitzmann. He was ordained and installed Aug. 14, 1892. The old log house was changed into a parochial schoolhouse, and the pastor taught the children four days a week, nine months in the year. In 1893 the congre- gation erected a parsonage, and the minister occupied it in the fall. A year later a barn was built for him. In 1895 an epi- demic of diphtheria swept the community, and two children died. April 21, 1895, the congregation became associated with its pres- ent synod, and appointed Charles Kokoschke as the delegate to the Synod sessions. A church bell was dedicated February 23, 1896. October 9, 1898, a new schoolhouse was erected. The new teacher was Prof. Theodore Wackholz, a talented gentle- man, installed August 12, 1900. The cyclone of September 24, 1900, killed two members of this congregation. October 5, 1902. a new pipe organ was dedicated. In 1904 the teacher's house was erected. The present officials of the church are as follows: Pastor, Rev. August Zitzmann; teacher. Prof. Theodore Wack-

holz; elders, Charles Wagner, Jr., Albert Wagner and Charles Saemrow ; trustees of the school, William Saemrow, Emil Mel- chert and Jolin Borchardt ; collectors, Frank Ahlmann, Reinhold Schulz, Frank Bertram. Herman Schmidtke; treasurer, Charles Saemrow.
The United Evangelical Church, of Morristown, is located two miles south of the village. A cemetery adjoins the church. The congregation is affiliated with the Zion's congregation, in the well known East Prairie settlement, bordering the county line, in Goodhue county. Services are held in the German lan- guage, and the members are highly honored and respected in the entire community. The first meeting of this congregation was held February 12, 1896, and a class organized. At a second meeting, March 16, 1896, the society was incorporated, and the building of a church decided upon. The foundation for the building was laid May 3, 1896, and the edifice was completed in July of that year, being dedicated, entirely free of indebted- ness, by Bishop R. Dubs. The first trustees selected were John Bosshardt, R. A. Wolf and C. W. Knauss. The church and cemetery property is valued at $2,200. A Sunday school is in session weekly. The United Evangelical Church is akin to the Methodist Episcopal Church, its doctrine being practically the same. There are differences, however, in church policy. The list of pastors of the Morristown church is headed by the late Rev. H. Ohs, who was the first pastor serving this congregation, which is known as the Tabors Church. He entered the ministry in 1874, and died November 5, 1908, at Beaver Creek, aged sev- enty-three years. His ministerial career was marked by his suc- cess in the upbuilding of Christian character in those among whom he labored. His devotedness and forcefulness in the work won for him the highest regards among his people. As a tribute to his energy it may be said that under his pastorate, two churches, one in each of his parislies, were erected. While he was pastor the parsonage was completed and occupied, May 23, 1898. It is located at Nerstrand, and there the pastor of the two churches resides. Mrs. Ohs, the wife of this pioneer preacher, resides at Beaver Creek, Minn., and among her two children, Charles and Frank are well known and honored resi- dents of Kenyon. Mr. Ohs served this charge three years, and was followed by the Revs. J. H. Mayne, C. Gerhardt, F. A. Sehmalle, W. F. Brecher and D. C. Hank. This church has lost a number of its members by removals and deaths, but the remaining members are known to take a deep interest in church work, and the meetings are accompanied with a high type of spirituality.

FRATERNITIES.
Cannon River Lodge, No. 52, A. F. & A. M., was organized June 2, 1864, and worked under a dispensation one year and nine months. Its first charter was issued October 25, 1865, with Isaac Pope, W. M .; Edward Russell. S. W., and John Russell. J. W. The charter members were C. D. Adams, W. 11. Adams. Jacob Buck, Adison H. Bullis. Andrew J. Bell, Thomas R. Chap- man, William S. Crawford, John C. Dexter, William Dove, C. Denman, A. R. Hogle, Daniel Harper. George Low, Hanson Mills, Isaac Pope and E. A. Bailey, John Pope, Ilenry Platt. Alexander Reed, Edward Russell, John Russell, Hiram H. Reed. H1. A. Runnion, Charles Swatser, Phillip Smith, Sylvester Spaul- ding. Andrew Storrer. J. C. Turner. Solomon Ward. Curtis D. Ward. George W. Walrath. Isaac Hand, Edward Hollister, James Walker.
The lodge met in various places until the Adams Hall was built. Owing to some misunderstanding with Mr. Adams, the lodge lost its interests in this building and moved to Dr. Coe's hall. Then they occupied a building owned by D. A. Temple. and located on the present site of the postoffice. This building was destroyed by fire, July 17, 1883, consuming all the records, minutes, furniture, and the charter. Then they occupied Knoff's hall a short time, but later moved again to Adams' hall. where they held meetings until 1886, when a hall was built on the site of the one that had burned. This building was erected at a cost of $1.546.91, one-half being paid by the lodge and one-half by J. W. Jackson, who occupied a part of it. The first lodge meeting was held in this hall, September 1, 1886. This building was destroyed by fire January 29, 1900. Then the lodge moved back to Knoff Hall, then occupied by the G. A. R. New jewels and furniture were purchased by a committee consisting of 1I. D. Widrick and L. M. Hollister. April 19, 1900. this hall was burned out. The lodge had no insurance and again lost everything. The lodge occupied the city hall until October 26, 1901, when it moved into its present hall, which was built in co-operation with the Morristown State Bank and is now out of debt. The lodge is now on its feet again, after many disasters, and is in good standing with other lodges, much of which is due to the untiring efforts of the loyal mothers, wives and daughters. L. M. llollister, the present M. W. of the lodge, has worked hard to establish the society as it is today, and in this effort all the brothers have worked shoulder to shoulder. The lodge numbers nearly fifty members. Since the organization in 1864, 142 have joined. Of these, ninety-nine are dead or have been stricken from the rolls for various reasons. The present officers are:
