The Immanuel congregation was organized Aug. 20, 1914, under
the leadership of the Rev. S. H. Newman of Burnside. Until the present church was built the congregation worshipped (sic)
in a small chapel. Pastors who have served the congregation have included the Rev. T. A. Conrad, the Rev. B. T. Erholm
and the Rev. Ernest A. Bergeson. At present [1953] the Rev. S. E. Peterson is pastor. NOTE:
Rev. O. A. Elmquist was the pastor at Odgen, arriving there with his new bride in October of1903. On June 5, 1907, he became
the pastor of the Swedish Lutheran Church of Chariton, Iowa, for two years there.
Immanuel Lutheran Church and St. Paul Lutheran Church merged in 1962.
