The Church of the Good Samaritan (Episcopal) in Sauk Centre holds its first service, the wedding of Miss Nellie A. Barrows and Captain Edward Oakford. The church's stained-glass windows had been donated by a friend of Bishop Henry B. Whipple and brought in by oxcart. The west wall of the church would collapse in 1999, destroying two of the original windows. The wall would be rebuilt and the windows replaced by a set from the recently closed Grace Church in Royalton.
