• Notes

  Styrk came to this country with his parents, Sjur Styrkson Reque and Ann Gjermo (Reque), in 1845 and settled at Leeds, Wisconsin about twenty miles north of Madison, Wisconsin. Three years later they moved to the Koshkonong Settlement in Dane County where Styrk received his preliminary education. Later, he continued his studies at the University of Wisconsin, and at Concordia Theological Seminary in St. Louis, Missouri graduating with a Divinity Degree. His first charge was at Roche a Cree near New Lisbon, Wisconsin where he served several neighboring congregations. In 1871 he accepted a call extended to him from Spring Grove and there he remained as pastor for thirty-nine years. It was said that the saloons, up to that time a curse and a disgrace to Spring Grove, were voted out and no one questioned the contention that the change was due to the fearless and untiring work of the strong and energetic pastor.
