If you have questions, con-
tact Marjorie Stowe at 817-
517-7001 or Finda Stair at
817-295-1878.
Stowe, a Keene resident, is
the granddaughter of Ole and
Annie Nystel, founders of the
Clifton/Norse church.
In 1878, A.W. Jenson, a
Danish Seventh-day Adventist
minister, was sent to work
among the Norwegian Futher-
an settlers in Bosque County.
Several families purchased
his books, studied with him
and were baptized into the
Adventist Church.
While studying the Bible
one day, Ole and Annie Nystel
came across a Bible passage
they did not understand. Sud-
denly, there was a knock at the
door and a man in a gray suit
was invited into their home to
study with them. He explained
the passage so that they could
understand the meaning.
After he left and went out
through the gate, he disap-
peared. Ole and Annie always
believed that an angel was
sent to help them understand
the Bible passage, Stowe said.
In the 1800s, a small one-
room white church was built.
The church was deeded to
the General Conference of
Seventh-day Adventists in
1906, and services were held
weekly until 1927. The chil-
dren had all gone away to
attend academy and college
or moved elsewhere —except
one daughter, Fizzie. Ole, An-
nie and Fizzie traveled the five
miles to the church by horse
and buggy, till Ole and Annie
became too old to make the
trip. Ole died in 1930 and An-
nie died in 1938.
When the Texas Conference
was formed, the church be-
came part of the new confer-
ence. Today, it is still standing
and is the oldest church build-
ing in the Texas Conference.
Ole and Annie’s children,
Belinda, Fizzie, Thomas, and
Agnes, originally cared for
the church. That privilege
then passed to Ole and An-
nie’s granddaughter, Marjorie
(Yates) Stowe, the daughter of
Agnes, who died in 1981.
God has watched over that
little white church, through
wind, hail and storm, for more
than 100 years —as a witness
to the devotion of these early
Adventists, Stowe said. The
local residents call it “Uncle
Ole’s Church.”
There is a cemetery beside
the church. Thirteen of the 17
individuals buried there are
descendents of Ole and Annie
Nystel. Another grave holds
one of the sons of Elder A.W.
Jenson.
On one of the tombstones
is the name, Oscar Nystel. In
1918, he traveled to Thoreau,
N.M., to teach in the Indian
School. Before he even taught
one day, he contracted the flu.
His sister, Agnes, who was
teaching school in Elgin, went
to New Mexico to care for him.
However, he died before she
arrived. She also contracted
the flu, so the eldest sister,
Belinda, a nurse, went to New
Mexico and brought them
both home to Clifton.
After she recovered from
the flu, Agnes returned to
teaching church school in
Elgin, where three of A.W.
Jenson’s children were her
pupils. She inspired Marinas
to become a minister, Ralph
became a farmer, and Evaline
became a teacher and married
a minister by the name of
J ames Aikin.
Marjorie was teaching at
Southwestern Junior College
in 1957 when Connie Jensen,
the granddaughter, graduated
from the academy.

include a one-time pay incen-
tive of 3 percent ($71,000) to
be paid from reserves in De-
cember, Guinn said.
Guinn is proposing
$80,000 for capital expen-
ditures also be taken from
reserves. It would include
$10,000 for a new file server
and $41,000 for a police car
and a truck for the public
works director, he said.
‘The total we’re propos-
ing is $ 151,000 from reserves
and not going up on the tax
rate to pay for the pay incen-
tive and the capital expendi-
tures,” Guinn said.
‘The general fund has a
reserve of about $800,000,”
Guinn said. “The water/sew-
er fund has a reserve of about
that amount or more because
of water sales to the gas well
drilling companies. Between
the two funds, we have more
than $ 1.2 million in reserve.
Rather than incurring debt, I
recommend paying cash for
the items so we won’t have to
raise the tax rate.”
The big item is repairing
the pump station on South
College at an estimated cost
of more than of $100,000,
Guinn said. The council will
discuss that repair project at
a later date.
“We need to do that right
away during the winter when
our pumps aren’t working
so hard,” Councilman Roger
Ackermann said.
