United Methodist Church plans another 'fixer upper'
The story of the United Methodist Church in Superior began in the fall of 1913.
During a train layover, Methodist Deaconess Isabelle Reeves discovered that there was no Protestant church in the area. Inspired to take action, she returned to Chicago and began raising funds to establish the first Protestant house of worship in Mineral County, a Methodist church.
In 1915, the church was built on land donated by Chas and Veronica Harmon. The church bell and first organ were shipped from Chicago by Miss Reeves. That same year, with the local school building not yet completed, the newly built church also served as the classroom for the area's first high school subjects.
