influence in their Pennsylvania

was a Catholic, and soon after COM

Catholic church which is considered
to be the second Catholic church in
this section of Ohio. He secured a
priest and for may years services
were held regularly in this Catho-
lie church, and it's establishment in
duced quite an extensive emigration
of German Catholics from Pennsyl-
vania, who settled in it's vicinity.
Among the number was a Ger
man named Andrew Gossman, who
had just come over from Germany
and was inexperienced in wood
craft, and the following humorous
incident is related of him:
One Sabbath morning, just be-
fore time for the morning church
services, he sent his two children,
accompanied by their dog, into the
woods near the church, to find his
cows. Soon one of the children ran
back to the house and told his faith

and that the calf had run up tree.

and repaired to the spot, and with

the animal in the tree and it fell
to the ground, and proved to be a
panther. Gossman sprang astride
the animals back and with vigor-
GUS stroke of his ak, killed it, then
with his children went on to church
which he reached just as the SER
vices were closed.
The priest reprimanded him for
being late, and Gossman apologized
by telling him that on his way to
church, in the woods, he had en-
countered a terrible monster which
he thought was the devil, and he
had killed him. The priest replied
that while he doubted his state
ment, he hoped he was correct, as
it would relieve him of future con-
tests with that individual.
The writer of this article, in COM
pany with Mrs. Adaline Bennett of
Deavertown, recently took drive
from Deavertown to the old Jerusa-
lem church and passed the site of
this Catholic church which has for
ever disappeared from the face of
the earth The Catholic cemetery
which is just back of where the
church stood could be seen from the
road and looked like a congregation
of white ghosts amid it's grove of
big trees and density of weeds. Mrs.
Bennet had never been in the ceme-
terry, but as / had a great desire to
see the place, she consented to
"hitch our horse and climb the
hill-through big field of grass
and weeds, and view this point of his
torical interest. We had to struggle
to get through the big weeds, but sue
ceeded, and when we reached the
cemetery we were clothed in a cos
tune of "beggar lice and Spanish
needles" which it took us days to
entirely remove from our clothing.
The first object of interest which
met our eyes was wild apple tree.
growing alone. among the surround
ing trees of the forest, and full of
apples, which so far as we could
tell, were of no known variety but
of good size, and ripe.
On entering the cemetery we
found nearly all the tombstones
broken off and lying flat on the
ground, but the names on the
stones were names familiar to Nc
Connelsville and Malta, Longstreths
and Kennedys and Grays and
Smiths and Tysingers. But the
cemetery had been so long neglected
that it seemed to be in a center of
trees and bushes and briers.
However, Malta and McConneis-
vile have been built up of the
strong characters of the men and
women who came to our towns from
Deavertown nearly 100 years ago,
prominent among whom are the
Stanberys and Longstreths and
Kennedys and Browns and Rusks
and Tysingers and Grays, and many
others, whom we would like to men,

are expecting a big religious revival
there this winter.
