A Rev. Stub
organized the Halfway Creek Lutheran Church along with
the Lewis Valley, La Crosse Valley and Bostwick Valley
churches, all served by the Rev. Stub. Worship services
were held in various homes and schools before the first
church building was built in 1868. It was destroyed by
fire in 1912, and the site is commemorated in the center
of the Halfway Creek Cemetery. The present church was
built in 1913 at its present site. The first parsonage
was a log house located on 80 acres of land and
purchased for $810. A new log cabin was completed in
1861 while Dr. Lars Larson served as pastor. This
parsonage housed the beginnings of Luther College. |
