Abstract
"On April 4, 1885, Rev. Schuknecht then of Nashville, Mich., was appointed as first missionary and arrived with his family at Spokane on May 14, 1885. During the year a number of preaching places were taken up in and near Spokane. The experiences of the missionaries were varied. They were in danger of hostile Indians. They slept out of doors in barns and on floors. Preaching services were conducted in houses, schools and sometimes in buildings without floors or windows. For pulpits various articles were used such as a carpenter's bench, cook stove, sewing machines, bunches of shingles and an empty beer keg."
