This splendid Christian organization began teaching the blessed gospel as early as 1872, which was about the time that many of our oldest pioneers came west and took claims in Martin, Clinton, Luverne and Beaver Creek Townships, then an apparent wilderness, with Sibley, Iowa, the nearest railroad town. Charter members of the congregation were Mr. and Mrs. Fred Nuffer, Mr. and Mrs. Martin Bertuleit, Emelia Bertuleit, Mr. and Mrs. John Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Loose, Mrs. John Loose, Mary Loose, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Nurenberg Jr. and Mr. and Mrs. C. Carner."
