Industry Methodist
Church
Organized 1847
by the Rev. Henry Bauer, missionary to the German settlers. In 1867,
this building was erected under the leadership of the pastor, the
Rev. Karl Biel. This was an era of financial difficulty, and the funds
were raised only by very great sacrifices on the part of the people.
Men of congregation did the construction work.
The Rev. A. M. Roos was pastor of the 100th anniversary.
