Swedish Mission Church

The Swedish Mission Church was built in 1914 on Section 30 in Cooperstown Township.  Religious services had been held in the homes and later in the Houghton School.  The pioneers that built this church were Per, Jens and Anders Person and another brother named Jonas Skanse, Lars Sunberg, Ludvig Anderson and Petrus Erickson.

This church later dissolved and the building was moved to Sutton where it still holds services.

When the Person child died, Mrs. Brita Johnson donated land for the Cemetery Plot, which was used by other neighbors too, in time.
