Episcopal Church, Mayville
The first church service in Mayville was conducted by Rev. Cooley of Fargo in 1881. Rev. Peake held monthly services until Rev. Sheridan took charge. Services were held in the Opera House and fire hall until 1885 when Calvary Episcopal Church was built.
This lovely church was made of field stone hauled from Blanchard. The ivy-covered walls housed a beautiful interior.
Many changes in pastors and members occurred in this church. Rev. Burleson came in 1889 and for several years the church flourished. Eventually membership decreased as death claimed several and others moved away.
The church stood empty for several years before it was occupied by Skarperud Funeral Home. This beautiful structure was torn down to make room for the Super Valu Store now standing in its place.
