St. Ann’s Catholic Church in Keyapaha
will celebrate its 100th anniversary on July 31.
The parish would like to invite the
community to an open house from 2-4 p.m. with Mass at 4 p.m. officiated by Fr.
Kevin Achbach.
After Mass, the parish would like
everyone to join them in a real country setting for potluck with plates,
napkins, silverware, coffee, water and tea provided.
Around May 15, 1910, it was discovered
that there were a number of Catholic families among the homesteaders near
Keyapaha in southern Tripp County.
The first Mass in the area was
performed in the D.B. Lyons home in the summer of 1916 by a Jesuit priest from
St. Francis.
In the fall and winter of 1920-21 the
first church in the Keyapaha area was
built. Roy Rohmn was the
carpenter in charge. He also built St. Boniface Catholic Church near Clearfield.
St. Ann’s is located a mile and a half
west and 2 ½ miles south of the former location of Keyapaha.
A priest named Fr. Eardly was sent here
to serve both churches. He left during the winter of 1920-21 and was replaced
by Fr. Quilligan who was followed by Fr. Groel.
When Fr. Groel was sent to Edgemont,
Fr. Bonner came and served until the time of his death in 1949.
On June 24, 1930, Marie Storms and
James Welsh were married in the church. That afternoon St. Ann’s was destroyed
by a tornado. The parishioners decided to rebuild as soon as they could.
This time W. H. Lawler was the
carpenter. The church was rebuilt by October that same year. The extension
society paid for the altar in the new church.
Some of the early members were: Joe
Storms family, Mike Sharkey family, D. B. Lyons family, Andrew Kinney family,
John Volmer family, Mrs. Fred Roberts and family, Steve Sieler family, Ed
Sieler family and Harold Gidden family. Today second, third and fourth
generation families have attended the church.
Other priests who served the parish
included: Fr. Doyle, Fr. Connor, Fr. Kruswicki, Fr. Stroh and Fr. Burger.
Services had not been held for seven years before Fr. Burger came. He served
the church for over 20 years before his retirement to Wisconsin in 1992.
After that the parish was under the
administration of the priest in Winner and was served by priests from St.
Francis mission. Priests that had served since 1992 were: Fr. Walleman, Fr.
Gill, Fr. Struyk and Fr. Strittmatter.
When the St. Francis priests were
reassigned St. Ann’s began being served by the Winner parish priests including:
Fr. Brian Lane, Fr. Janusz Korban, Fr. Leo Hausmann, Monsignor Michael Woster,
Fr. Andrzej Wyrostek and the current priest Fr. Kevin Achbach.
With the help of $500 grant supplied by
the extension society a new steel roof
was put on the church in the fall and winter of 1994-1995.
In September 1995, the interior of the
church was painted and vinyl siding replaced the old siding. This job was
completed in the spring of 1996 and the old carpet was replaced.
St. John’s of Witten donated their
large crucifix and their altar as well as a statue of St. Anthony when they
closed their parish in the spring of 1996.
The interior of the church was painted
again in 2003.
A generous parishioner donated money to
St. Ann’s that was used for decorations for the church and air conditioning
that was installed in 2007.
In 2018, extensive wind damage tore the
siding of St. Ann’s. The Tripp County Foundation came through and funded a
grant for repairs.
The historical signage is in front of the church and the interior is beautiful with all new wooden pews, altar railings, side altars and balcony.
Parishioners say the St. Ann’s church bell has an amazing peal extending through the rustic countryside.

AutoMate of Winner celebrated the grand
opening of being an Auto Value parts store on July 21.
A ribbon cutting was held followed by a
free lunch and a chance to register for lots of door prizes.
The Winner business is owned by Keith
and Jane Moser and they will celebrate their 20th anniversary next
year.
In January 2020, the Mosers signed with
Auto Value which is the warehouse supplier where they get their auto parts. The warehouse is located in St. Cloud, Minn.
Jane Moser said Auto Value has more
items that are accessible to them. She added they have more items for the
retail customer, for that customer who wants to fix a car or truck on his own.
The auto parts they have available
range from cash customer to semi truck and heavy duty truck supplies.
“We have access to a broader spectrum
of parts and that is really nice for us,” said Moser.
Representatives from Auto Value came to
Winner and did all new shelving and
redesigned the store.
Moser said they were invited to attend
a trade show and met the third generation owner. Also they had a tour of the
large warehouse.
Moser noted other items that are
offered are all types of oil, windshield wiper blades, headlights plus standard
parts for vehicles.
Moser said what is nice is if the
warehouse is out of an item they can pull from another corporate store.
The Mosers purchased AutoMate in 2002.
They purchased the business from Store Services Inc. (SSI).
Prior to SSI owning the business, it
was owned by Tom Collins who called the business Motor Equip.
The store hours for AutoMate are Monday
through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and
Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The business is closed on Sundays.
Many of the Auto Value parts stores
located in Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Iowa,
Montana, Michigan and Wyoming are affiliated with and supported by Automotive
Parts Headquarters Inc. (APH).
APH is a third generation family-owned
aftermarket auto parts distributor and store based in St. Cloud.
APH and Auto Value are part of the
Aftermarket Auto Parts Alliance, one of the largest auto parts distribution
networks in the world.
Auto Value offers an aggressive
marketing program that gives independent organizations the opportunity to
identify with local and national program.
