Notes

2023-09-29 - This entry represents the installation of a new organ. There were two Norwegian Lutheran churches in Canton: Canton Lutheran and Bethlehem Lutheran. The online parish history of the present day Canton Lutheran Church states, "When Canton Lutheran, in 1881, broke ground for a church, Bethlehem followed with a ground breaking a few months later. When the Ladies Aid society of Canton Lutheran raised funds for a church bell, the Bethlehem ladies raised money for a pipe organ, one of the first in Dakota Territory." -Jim Stettner
