Communion records 1896-1941 from (Hvidso) Bethania Lutheran Church (now defunct)

I have tried to type this as accurately as possible as written; I have not attempted to correct what seem to be errors. Some names are spelled differently in various entries. Blank columns are blank in the records, (?) is used to denote difficulty in reading handwriting or in translating from Norwegian) (These records are kept at United Free Lutheran Church, Greenbush, Minnesota.
