and an academy II was while working
as a farmer boy that he decided 10 enter
the priesthood. Going to Quincy. ILL.,, he
studied at the Franciscan college and In
1895, at Cincinnati, o., was ordained.
Returning to Nebraska he came TO
Omaha, where he became assistant to
Father Walsh Of sSt. Peters Catholic
church. Subsequently there arose ne
cessity for a priest TO take charge OF the
work at Chadron. Scarcely having at
tained his majority. the young man went
out on his first charge HIS success was
assured from the first and In a short time
