J. Watson, W. T. Hafer, and Fred Lehmkuhl. The last named, served on both building committees. The comer stone of the new building was laid July 2, 1920, by Grand Master Joseph B. Fradenburg, of the Masonic order of Nebraska. The edifice cost thirty-five thousand dollars. Reverend A. W. Amsbury held the first quarterly conference here January 21, 1893. and the constitution of the church was drafted by J. F. Ganson and Charles N. Coates.

Gurley has a live Methodist Episcopal organization and church with Reverend Coffman in charge.

Potter has three churches, and as has been usual in this county, the Methodist church was pioneer, and is most active. Reverend Chas. O. Troy is pastor.

Trinity Lutheran and Catholic churches each are here provided.

Although not a church organization, the Women's Christian Temperance Union is associated with its work in many particulars. The organization has been in existence in Cheyenne county for many years. The local institution at Potter is particularly virile, and has done much excellent work. Mrs. A. J. Woten is the present executive head and is ably directing it for civic and communal good.

In addition to the churches mentioned and those in the interior of the county rural districts, a tribute should be paid to the congregations that assembled in sod houses, log huts and dug outs in the days when the grangers were spreading over the western prairies and before churches were built. Services and Sunday schools were held in every neighborhood and volunteer laymen were everywhere doing their part in religious work.
