"It is to be regretted that so many of the important facts concerning the guidance of God, with the first settlers, vanished with them into the grave... The history of those days, like the giant forests, which once adorned God’s beautiful earth, has vanished... We still have fragments of these histories, stored in the memories of some very aged people, but which have lost their freshness, and so miss the thread which runs through these histories... But these things are now beyond recall, so we will concern ourselves with the things which still remain with us, lest in our forgetfulness, our children will some day say, “Why didn’t they record those things for us?"  Rev. Abram Klerk, June 30, 1905

Chapel used as a classroom while the original Wisconsin Memorial Academy Building was being built.  This building was moved to Union Ave. and is currently a private residence, and the upper quatrefoil window remains until this day.
