Sam Black United Methodist Church
Built in 1901, third Otter Creek church building was dedicated in memory of the Rev. Sam Black (1813-99). Born in Rupert, he preached here in the 1880s-90s. Licensed in 1840, Black was a Methodist circuit rider for almost fifty years. Sam Black Church, a spiritual landmark, became an established place name on highway maps without a post office by the same name.
