st. Mary's Study Club Prizes Into
69-year Old History
With the sixty-nine year old par
ish of the Church of the Good
Samaritan as the background for
their research, the study club of
st. Mary's Guild met at the home
of Rev. and Mrs. r. ]. Mott last
Thursday evening. Interesting,
amusing, and historical facts were
CLEANED from the reports the mem
bers gave on the early work OF
each of the Church's organization.
The first Episcopal services. Mrs.
Dewey O'Gara said, were held in
1858 in the Presbyterian. 1t wasn't
until Christmas Eve 1869 when SER
vices were held in the structure
that today still is the Church
building. But prior to that in the
stockade all Christian peoples had
services jointly. Their Sunday
school picnic, a gala affair, was
held outside the stockade along the
river. A drummer lead the way to
the woods where the picnic was
held. Buds Of Primise and Little
Branches were names adoped by
early Sunday school classes, Miss
Hattie Erwin told the group. A
roster Of the early communicates
was read by Mrs. Roy Scott, and
Mrs. w. II. Saathoff told Of the
clergymen who had served the par
ish from the time of the first rec
tor, the Rev. George Stewart. Mrs.
Ccrrine Thornbloom reiterated a
list of Bishops who served the
Diocese. It was not until 1900 that
the Diocese of Duluth was made
separate from the Minnesota Do
,cese and this northern part Of the
state had its own Bishop. Early
work Of the Guilds was traced by
Mrs. Percy Hansen.
