description: On November 7, the Little Cannon Valley Branch of the RLDS was organized by William Kelly in Goodhue County with 21 members. Charles F. Burrows was presiding elder, Samuel Clapp, priest, J Dibble, teacher and D. Stranahan, Clerk. Kelly sent a letter to the Herald from Northfield. ”December 29th, 1874[?]. I have arrived at my assigned place of labor for the winter. The brethren and friends received me kindly; and yesterday I spoke to a full house, at the old place of meeting in the Little Cannon Valley. The brethren, so far as yet seen, remain firm in the faith, and appreciate and delight in the beautiful system prepared to make them free. They have heard no sermon for over two years, and have been scattered, insomuch that no meetings of any kind have been kept up."?
