The first steps toward raising the
money for the purchase of a site were
taken about 1902. When Father J. B.
Thompson came to the church in 1905
an impetus was given to the move
ment, and to him great credit is due.
The site was purchased in March, 1907,
for $4,000. The cornerstone for the
building was laid by Bishop Carroll
June 80, 1907. A month earlier the
first steps were taken to raise the
money for the building. The funds
have been raised chiefly by Father
Thompson, aided by his board of
trustees, D. P. McElwee, Will McDon-
nell, John Gary, James ForistelI,
Henry Monforten, Fred Leveque and
j. c. Mccarthy. Father Thompson es-
pecially acknowledges the aid rem
dered by committee of the Gallatin
Valley club. Messrs. r. D. Steele, H. l..
Casey and John Walsh. The club took
the view that the church was a town
and appointed the commit
tee that solicited more than 81 500
among the non-Catholic business men
for the proposed edifice About SAG. 900

still remains debt of about $1,000.
