Arrow River Multi Denominational Church - circa 1906 - 1910
In 1905 the residents of Arrow River MB, purchased for $500 the Presbyterian Church from Hamiota, MB. It was dismantled by a local carpenter & hauled apx. 15 miles & reassembled on it's new foundation
The Church was officially opened in March of 1906.
This is the Church that my Great Grandparents, my Grandfather & his sister's family attended upon their arrival from England.
This photo was in my Grandfather's collection, but the years have taken there tole on it.
