>From the Emden town history in the 1878 Logan County history: The Methodists have completed a comfortable parsonage and are taking steps to erect a church edifice. The congregation is mostly German and was organized about a year ago. That is the only church mentioned. The full history can be found at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~illogan/town.htm You will note that the town histories list the churches which would seem to indicate that the Methodists were the only ones with a church and that it was not there until 1877.
