Swede Creek Spur

Historical Note: In 1864, a missionary named McKeeson came to the area and a church was erected in 1876. The Swedes were soon joined by the Germans and Bohemians, and the Evangelical United Brethren became the predominant religious group. Adolph Toburen, a German who came in 1857, died 6 March 1867. His tombstone is the oldest
