The first religious services held in this township were in the summer of 1856, by Elder K. C. Cressey, a missionary of the Congregationalist faith, in the house of Blr. F. Webster in section twenty - six. After this, services were held in John Campbell's house once in two weeks. This was continued until Mr. Campbell moved out of the township in 1866, and since that time there has been no regular services, as the Congregationalists have never had an organization.
