Early records show that on September 15, 1881, the Bismarck Union Church building was deeded to trustees who included Charles T. Manter and Mary, his wife; Phillip R. Van Frank and Fannie, his wife; and James Morley and Virginia, his wife.
This building was to continue to be governed by trustees down through the years. Trustees were named from different denominations, and the building was for the use of any Protestant denomination which might need a place to worship. Through the years the building was used by the Lutherans, Methodists, Christian (or Disciples of Christ), and Church of the Latter Day Saints.
The building was finally sold by court order and the proceeds were equally divided between the denominations. This was only accomplished about a year ago, and since then the Union Church building has been torn down and a home built on the site.
