I was able to find some more information about the churches in Adams County: In Arkdale: Roche a Cree congregation started in 1853 (Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran); located 1 mile west of Arkdale Roche a Cree congregation started in 1859 (Evangelical Lutheran); located in Arkdale Roche a Cree congregation started in 1887 (Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran), located 3 3/4 miles north of Arkdale Strongs Prairie: Strongs Prairie congregation started around 1891, disbanded in 1896 White Creek: congregation started about 1879, disbanded about 1881 source: from the book, "Norsk Lutherske Menigheter i Amerika, 1843-1916." I suppose some of the above churches merged and became what is now Arkdale Trinity Lutheran? Vickie
