Old Public Records.

The oldest public records in Lewis
county are found at the Catholic church
on Cowlltz prairie. Though the records
be OF religious character, containing
the bapisms, marriages and burials that
have been in charge OF the mission since
lS3S-yet they have been found useful
even in civil matters. Time and again,
especially Of late years, the priest in
charge has been called upon to make ex-
tracts from the Old registers, to prove in
the land Office Or in the district courts, the
validity or the existence OF marriage con.
tracted in the prehistoric times Of Lewis
county. Certificates of burial have also
been produced from these books in the
settlement of some estates.
The first baptisms and marriages were
In the house Of Simon Plnm0ldon, by
Father 4. N. B!anchet, afterwards arch
bishop of Oregon, who was the first
Catholic priesl that visited the Cowlitz
country and located, in 1888, what has
been known since as the St. Francis
Xavier mission. Father ii. Demers,
afterwards bishop of Vancouver Island,
was the first priest sent to reside on the
prairie. He arrived there in the spring
OF 1889 and Immediately set to work with
his faithful help, Augustus Rochon, OF
Toledo, to build the first log church erected
and dedicated to the worship OF Almighty
God north Of the Columbia river and west
OF the Cascade mountains.
Although at present only a few logs of
that primitive structure remain and serve
us foot logs over Some swales along tn e
county road. the old parsonage, built
simultaneously with the church, having
been destroyed by fire IN 1880, the rec
ords of the early laborers in the vineyard
of the Lord are yet kept in the compare
lively new building that now adorns the
center Of Cowlitz prairie. Mug
