         This was one of the first RLDS Church branches to be established in southwestern Iowa. About 24 members were organized into a branch on 16 October 1859 by Edmund Briggs. He and W.W. Blair had been sent on a missionary journey across southern Iowa in the summer of 1859. They contacted many former members of the original Latter Day Saint Church who were still living in southwestern Iowa, and many who had returned from Utah and choose to locate in the area. The first president was Calvin Beebe. The branch was active, building a church that was dedicated in 1890. Changing economic conditions caused a decline in rural membership in the early 1900's and it was disbanded, the building being used as a barn. It later became the Henderson Branch, which lasted until 1923.
