( Through the efforts of one Of these min

into the affairs of the Jesuits of the colony
and to investigate the right by which
they held their land.
In 1855 the Protestants petitioned the
Legislature of the colonies to take string
ent measures against the Jesuite, but moth
ing came of these efforts. In spite of this
great opposition, the school fourished un'
til it was superseded by its great successor
Georgetown.
The bricks from the walls of the old
school were employed in building the rec.

Rev. Joseph Creation was probably
stationed at Bohemia in 1749 for the rec.

He was succeeded by Rev. John Lewis,

incomplete until a few years ago, when
deeds of land bearing date 1854 came into
the possession of one of the members Of
this congregation who afterward gave
them into the keeping of one of the His
torical Societies of the Church.
In Cecil county, Md, about mile from
the village of Warwick stands the ancient
Catholic Church of St. Francis Xavier,
the first mission of the Jesuits on the
Eastern shore of Maryland.
The annals of the society show that the
mission near the head of the Bohemia
river, and which is itself almost generally
called Bohemia" was founded by Rev.
Thomas Mansell, about 1904.
The fact that his name is mentioned in
the records of the society as Mr.. Mansell
merely gives color to the belief that there
was desire to conceal the sacred charac-
ter Of the enterprise, owing to the perse-
cution of the Jesuilts at the time in Mary.
land as wall as in England.
Father Mansell remained in charge Of
the mission until 1921. Little is known
of bis history. 1t is even uncertain
whether he died there or not. If he be
buried at Bohemia, his grave remains un-
marked by cross or stone. The early bis
tory of the mission is somewhat obscure,
owing to the loss of q portion of the rec
ords, but Father Msnsell was probably
succeeded by Father Peter Atwood, who
added to the possessions of the Jesuits by
the purchase of another tract of land.
From time to time the possessions of
the order have been increased until it now
owns five farms in Cecil county, kept al
Ways in the highest state of cultivation.
Father Thomas FULTON was at Bohemia
from l742 to l74S. 1t was in his time that
4 school was opened which was attended
by the sons Of the colonists.
John Carroll, afterwards Archbishop OF
Baltimore, and founder of Georgetown
College, attended the school while it was
yet 10 Ice infancy.
Il is believed that Charles Carroll, of
CaTrollton, was pupil there at the time.
It is not known how long this school ex-
lsted bus it is considered the germ from
which sprang Georgetown College. It's
prosperous condition excited the jealousy
Of the members of the Established burch,
who tried by every means in their power
to destroy the work which Jealous care

The church lately burned was the last

is said to have been but a log-house-the
premises then being covered by woods.
Afterwards a larger frame church was
built-which was burned-and the one
just destroyed was built to take its place,
and history tells US that it was not yet
completed in 1895, but eervices have al
