The town was founded in 1883,[1] and Sims Scandinavian Lutheran Church was constructed the following year.[2] Today, the church has been restored and still worships every other Sunday.[2] The church parsonage has also been restored and is home to the Sims Historical Society Museum.[3] During her trip to North Dakota in October 2008, First Lady Laura Bush visited Sims and toured its church.[4] HistorySims was founded in 1883 as a coal town.[5] Coal mining and the town's brickyard helped Sims grow to a population of more than 1,000 people.[2] However, the 1910 Census recorded a population of just 86 people.[6] The population fluctuated over the years, with an estimated 98 people in 1940.[1] The post office was founded in 1883 and closed in 1947, with mail routed through Almont, North Dakota, to the south.[7] Sims Scandinavian Lutheran Church was built in 1884 as a combination church and residence. A new church was built in 1896 next to the parsonage.[3] The church is reportedly North Dakota's oldest Lutheran church west of the Missouri River. The congregation still has roughly 50 members, even though they do not live in Sims.[8] Locals report, however, that the town does have one remaining resident: a former pastor's wife who died between 1916 and 1918. Dubbed the "Gray Lady Ghost," her spirit is reported to haunt the old parsonage, wandering the rooms and playing the organ.[2][8] The last residence in Sims, a mobile home in the center of town, was occupied in 2005, but looked vacant by 2010, and was removed by 2012.[9] References1. ^1 {{Cite book | author=Wick, Douglas A. | authorlink= | coauthors= | title=North Dakota Place Names | year=1988 | publisher=Hedemarken Collectibles | location= | isbn=0-9620968-0-6|pages=Page 179}} 2. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url=http://www.prairiechurches.org/sims.cfm|title=Former Sims Scandinvaian Evangelical Luth Church, Sims - Morton County|publisher=Preservation North Dakota|accessdate=2008-10-03|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080705124333/http://www.prairiechurches.org/sims.cfm|archivedate=2008-07-05|df=}} 3. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.prairiechurches.org/view_grants.cfm?ID=12 |title=Sims Historical Society Museum|publisher=Preservation North Dakota|accessdate=2008-10-03}} 4. ^Laura Bush visits ND, Retrieved on October 2, 2008. 5. ^{{cite book|last1=Winser|first1=Henry Jacob|last2=Riley|first2=William C.|title=The Official Northern Pacific Railway Guide: For the Use of Tourists and Travelers Over the Lines of the Northern Pacific Railway and Its Branches|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=JA5FAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA105|year=1897|publisher=Northern Pacific Railway|page=105}} 6. ^{{cite web |url=http://www2.census.gov/prod2/decennial/documents/36894832v3ch3.pdf |title= 1910 Census of Population and Housing: North Dakota |format=PDF |work=Thirteenth Census of the United States |publisher=United States Census Bureau|pages=Page 331|year=1913|accessdate=2008-07-20}} 7. ^{{Cite book | author=Patera, Alan H. and John S.
