Part of the process of researching saints for the living cemetery tour involved looking for original sources and first person accounts of Elim.  In 1929, for Elim's 75th anniversary, the church prepared a special booklet highlighting the history of the church.  If you click on the link below, you can page through the document. 

75th Anniversary Booklet

In 1904 for the 50th anniversary a similar booklet was produced.  This booklet was in Swedish.
