Carter was first bishop of the*Grass Valley ward when it was organized in January, 1935, originally as the Nevada City branch. Five families formed the ward and met in the home of Sadie Keller. A building was planned and in 1939 a lot on Mill street in Grass Valley was purchased for that purpose. The war started people to moving and start of construction was postponed. Angus C. Fox served as bishop after . _November, 1941,° when . Bishop Carter left the ward. Bishop Fox carried on the work of the ward during the difficult time of the war when population was rapidly shifting. Greenwell was ordained bishop in January, 1946, following his release from the U. S. army, during which time he served as a combat engineer in the European theater. With the war over, the building was given first consideration again by the congregation. A final selection of a plan for the church indicated the Mill street lot was insufficient in size and sold. The lot on which the new chapel stands was_ purchased from Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Mulcahy in April,. 1947, and construction commenced the following July. Thirteen months later construction, except for landscaping of the grounds, was completed. All work on the church was done by members of the congregation.
