SWEDISH LUTHERAN The Swedish Lutheran church was organized in 1883, and the same year the church building was eracted and dedicated.  It had for its first pastor O. Torrell.  In 1888 Prof. O. Oleson came to this charge and remained until 1903, when he was succeeded by A. W. Kjellstrand.  The present pastor, O. W. Ferm, has been here since 1906.  The church was incorporated by the following gentlemen:  Charles Lindwall, John W. Matson, G. Eklund, A. Lindblom, and C. L. Lindholm. The church started with twenty-five members and now has 150, with sixty-five in the Sunday school.  The building is located on East Sixth street and just east of it is the parsonage, built in 1905.
