In Salt of Earth, Arlo Anderson quotes from a P.E. report in the Conference report of 1854, that “At Cambridge, Hart Prairie and Sugar River some 30 souls have been converted to God and the Church”.

Also, A. Anderson state, Steen Steensen was appointed to Hart Prairie, his home congregation, where he had the satisfaction of building a church on his father’s land and of seeing 16 persons added to the original fellowship as a result of protracted meetings, as they were called . (this could be 1856 judging by Conference appointed, see below)

Heart Prairie first appears in Conference journal under Mission giving in 1855.
