This house was at one time the parsonage for Beaver Church, which was part of the Swedish Methodist Church. The church was located directly across the road where the sidewalk is visible. On June 12, 1964 the church was struck by lightening and burned to the ground. A photo of the church is included on page 33 of the book "History of Iroquois County", compiled by John Dowling (https://www.forgottenbooks.com/en/dow...).
