owners. Jonas and Anne Nessan were two of the earliest pioneers in Mapleton Township in Minnehaha County. Jonas was born in 1845 in Norway. He settled in Goodhue County in Minnesota in 1867, but moved to Dakota Territory in 1868. Anne Langness Nessan was born in Norway in 1855. She moved to Yankton, Dakota Territory, in 1868, and worked for a storekeeper there. Jonas and Anne were married in 1872. They had 10 children and 28 grandchildren, and, at the time of Anne’s death, had 32 great-grandchildren. Jonas was a prominent area leader and served in several township officer positions. He died in 1925 and Anne died in 1934. Both are buried at East Nidaros Lutheran Church Cemetery.

Nessans donated the property where Renner Lutheran Church now stands. The Renner Lutheran Church building, also known as “Old Nidaros Church,” has been moved several times and is the oldest church building in use in South Dakota.

Edwin Nessan and his wife, Julia, were the second generation owners. They lived there until 1947 when their nephew, Curt Eggers, moved to the property and started farming on shares. Curt and his wife, Jean, bought the property in 1958. Curt was returning to his farming roots in the Renner area after serving as a platoon sergeant in the European theatre in World War II. He applied his platoon leadership skills back home and was involved in many causes and organizations including the Soil Conservation Service, Minnehaha Funeral Home, Mapleton Township board, American Legion and VFW, Silver Creek Watershed, Renner Fire Department and many others. At the time Mike and Laurel Turner learned of the property, there was another family ahead of them in line who was considering a purchase. Mike joked, “I don’t think those other folks were Norwegians. That’s why we got the place. I think Curt was waiting for a good Norwegian and Lutheran to sell it to.” Laurel said, “The whole Eggers family has just been so good to us. They really helped make us feel part of the community.”
