"How WAS 1T DONE"
The Rev. Father Niehaus wishes us to
say not he, but the good spirit existing
in this city and county accomplished the
work. The readers OF the News know
that the pastor was the leading spirit and
that he was ably assisted by the men,
beers and the citizens generally, all of
whom view with pride the great work he
has accomplished. The value of the
church and parsonage is $3.50 1t has
a small debt upon it, but it will be can
celled in due time.
THE HISTORY OF THE CHURCH.
AS to the history of the church is
about as follows: In 1858 a small brick
building was erected and attended occas-
ionally from Hardinsburg. Rev. Sheri-
dan, now at Louisville, was the first resi-
dent priest. During Father Higgins ad-
ministration the church was built. Rev
Hennesey succeeded Father Higgins.
Father Niehaus took charge Just a few
weeks before the last fire in February.
THE PASTOR.
Rev. George Niehaus, previous to his
study for the priesthood, was a sculptur
and his hands furnished the ornaments
for the altar and pews. lie studied at
Cincinnati and Louisville where he was
ordained priest by the present Bishop
McCloskey He then devoted his SER
vice to the missionary cause in Kansas,
Missouri, Illinois, Ohio and Kentucky.
He is thoroughly social, kind and genial
to everybody and an excellent pastor
and gentleman. May st. Rose prosper
under his guidance and watch-care.
THE DINNER.
In the temporary church an elegant
barbecued dinner was served to over 400 |
people. 1t was the occasion where many
old friends, acquaintance and members
met with smiles and hand shake, con-
each other on the good work
that had been accomplished Much
praise is due the ladies for the excellent
work they have done in building the
church and for the superb dinner they
on this occasion. God bless
tie women, without their ready and will
ing hands very little could be accomp-
ished in any good work.
