2021-03-09 - From the Trinity Lutheran Church website, *"The First English Lutheran Church was established January 14, 1914 as a branch of the Norwegian Lutheran Church because of a demand for using the English language. The group rented the Baptist Church at 205 South Ash Street and then purchased the building in 1916 when the church was organized.* *In 1936, a fire destroyed the Norwegian Lutheran Church, beginning the movement to bring about a union of the Lutheran churches in Crookston. A meeting was held May 25, 1936, but no formal union was made. The congregations agreed to form a federation and extended a call to the Rev. Abner S. Haugen. The four congregations continued to operate as a Federation until December 14, 1938 when the group was incorporated under the name of Trinity Lutheran Church."* -Jim Stettner

2021-03-09 - The Moller was not destroyed in the 1936 fire, and was transplanted to Trinity Lutheran Church in Crookston by an unidentified person or firm ca. 1938. -Jim Stettner
