Destroys St John Lutheran Church in Maxfield Township
A Tuesday afternoon blaze destroyed the 36 by 66 foot St John Lutheran Church in Maxfield township, Bremer county, about 14 miles east of Denver. Fire crews from Denison and Readlyn could not save the year old building, a total loss, though some church records and portions were saved. Rev. William B. Jack reported most remained covered by insurance, while Rev. Bur stated five were saved. The church is a historic progenitor of many local Lutheran congregations formed since 1856, with a lineage including Zion Jubilee Black Hawk St John structures and others across Readlyn Denver and surrounding areas.
