The next Catholic Church was
st. Mary's (Barnesville) according
to Scharf's History of Western
Maryland which was published in
1882. 1t was organized and the
edifice built in 1908, under the
supervision of Father Plunkett,
who had charge of the missions
embracing the whole county at that
time.
The next church was built in
Rockville, the county seat, in 1917,
by the Rev. James Redmond and
was called st. Mary's. The land,
four acres, was purchased from
Jesse Leach, and paid for, three
hundred dollars, at the time of
making the deed which was re-
corded May 9, 1916, the corner
stone being laid the next year,
1917, by the Bishop, assisted by
Father Redmond. 1t was completed
within the next two years by his
successor, Rev. Francis Xavior
Carroll. The church stands today
with much the same outline as
when first built, however there
was a room above the sacristy
which the priest occupied for
living quarters, there being no
rectory. The present steeple was
erected many years later; also the
Sunday School room.
Before the erection of st. Mary's
Church Father Plunkett in 1904
celebrated mass at the residence
of Mr.. Diggs near Bladensburg,
visited Carroll Chapel and held
services at the residences of Henry
Bevans, Mr.. Bowie, near Rockville
and Mr.. GARDENERS near Rawlings
River, now st. Peters. He re-
manned in charge of the mission in
the county for about ten years his
successor being Rev. James Red
mond, in 1914, who built St.
Mary's. He was succeeded by Rev.
Francis Xavior Carroll, in 1918
who resided in Rockville.
He was succeeded by Rev. Peter
J. DeVos (Belgian) from 1919 to
1885, from then to 1910 by Rev.
B. S. Plot (Frenchman) from 1910
to 1916, Michael P. Gallagher; 1847
by Rev. Thomas Foley, who after
wards was made Bishop of
Chicago; he was followed by
Father King, who was very young
and died the same year of pneu-
monia.
Rev. C. J, Mcguire was next
pastor from 1847 to 1850, followed
by Rev. Bernard J. McManus, for
one year; succeeded by Rev. Fran
els E. Boyle for two years. The
first little rectory was built by
Father Boyle, which consisted of a
dining and living room combined
and kitchen, above there was the
priests bedroom and one for the
housekeeper. The church steeple
was also erected at this time with
a wooden cross; the present metal
cross was put up in Father Rosen-
steel's time.
Rev. John James Dougherty was
next pastor from 1853 to 1862, was
later made Vicor General of Arch
Diocess; followed by Rev. Edmund
Didier for three years, who was
succeeded by Rev. Placide Louis
Chapelle (of French noble family
who was here five years; he added
several rooms to the recory, divided
the parish, he attended St. Mary's
and st. Johns alternating each
Sunday and his assistant, Father
Sprayt "a Belgian) to st. Rose
and Barnesville where he built a
rectory, and was succeeded by Rev
Timothy Sullivan, who was after
wards Bishop of Mobile, Alabama

Up-COunty Estate
Goes To Wife OF
Gen'l Wedemeyer

Mrs. Albert c. Wedemeyer, wife
of 1t. Gen. Wedemeyer, has been
named to take possession of the
40O-acre estate, "Walldene," near
Boyds, which has been in her fam
lily for more than a century. The
estate has been owned by the Wall
and Dade families for more than
$50 years. Originally known as
Friends Advice, it was acquired
by the Dade family from holdings
in an original land grant from the
English crown. Mrs. Wedemeyer
has changed the name of the estate
back to Friends Advice.
William Guy Wall died about
eight years ago. In his will he
directed that the estate go to his
wife and at her death the trustees
were directed to give the property
to the niece, nephew or great
nephew whom they decided was
most deserving.
Thomas NJ. Anderson. Rockville,
attorney for Mrs. Wall, said she
recently informed the trustees chat
the estate was too large for her
to take care of and asked them to
exercise the provision of the will.
The trustees met and selected Mrs.
Wedemeyer.
The estate includes a 20-room
mansion and is one of the most
historic places in Montgomery.
Mrs. Wedermeyer has been living
there about a month although she
has lived there internationally all
her life.

Leo XIII to Ontario, then to the
PHILIPPINES, afterwards was made
Archbishop of Santa Fe, N. Mexico,
and later of New Orleans, where
he died of Yellow Fever. Rev. VIM.
E, Starr, assisted DR.. Chapelle in
his last year here.
In the early days before there
was resident pastor, the Jesuites
from Georgetown and Frederick
ministered to such people they
could reach, noteably the much
beloved Father McElroy, of Fred
crick, who had much to do with
the building of st. Mary's at
GAINESVILLE. Later when there was
one priest assigned to the County,
he had to go either afoot or on
horseback, from the District of
Columbia to Frederick County and
from the Potomac River to Howard
County. He spent much of his time
on the road or in the homes of his
parishioners, and said Mass the
first Sunday of the month at Rock
vile; second, at st. Johns, Forest
Glen; third, at GAINESVILLE; fourth
at st. Rose, Choppers; fifth, at Mt.
Zion, near st. Peters, Olney.
The first conveyance owned by
priest was a buggy bought by
Father John .Doughtery about
1861.
Rev. James F. Mackin became
pastor in 1870 and was here about
seven years. He built the Sunday
School room, and frescoed the
church for the first time, with
funds from the Nicholas Brook
estate, through the late Lemuel
Clements trustee; erected a new
altar, gift of James Tracey of
Baltimore.
The large silver candlesticks and
crucifix were given him out of the
old st. Patrick's Church, Washing
ton, by the pastor, Rev. Jake Wal
tiers, also the little stained glass
window over the front door.
Father Mackin organized
sanctuary society and living
rosary, and planted all the beauti-
full pine trees which are now dying.
He bought himself a burial lot in
the shadow of the cross and church
he so much loved, but was not per-
mitted to occupy this remains
are at rest in Mt. Olivet, which he
helped to buy. Noticeable in the
cemetery adjoining the church, is
the beautiful Brook Memorial,
brought over from, Italy, by the
late Lemuel Clements, trustee and
erected as a memorial to the late
Nicholas Brook heirs, by Father
Mackin.
In 1875 Rev. Casper Schmidt
was pastor for about six months in
the absence of Father Mackin.
Rev. James A. Cunningham came
next as pastor from 1877 to 1881,
followed by Rev. Joseph S. GalIen
to 1884; then Rev. Sebastian Rab-
Ria, two years, followed by Rev.
James M. Connolly, who was there
three years; he put in the stained
glass windows in the church,
financed by the residue of the
Nicholas Brook funds left in the
hands of Father Mackin after the
decease of Lemuel Clements, trus-
tee. He also purchased Of DR.. and
Mrs. c. j. Maddox seven acres of
land for the new cemetery on the
Norbeck pike, added two rooms and
hall to the rectory, and built a
three room cottage at st. Johns
Forest Glen, for himself to stay in
while there.
Father Connolly was succeeded
by Rev. c. o. Rosensteel who was
here nine years, saying mass every
Sunday here and going to st..
Johns the second and fourth, and

Allies have won back much of
the South Korea area they gave
up, including key places in the
Seoul-Inchon area, but not the
capital itself.
Gen. Macarthur had one of his
typically acid comments for Rus

, IT note that Marshal Stain

of our forces in Korea. But his
(Chinese and Korean) comrades
will have to do a lot better than
they have yet done to prove him

Chinese losses, Gen. Macarthur
said, have been among the blood
lest in modern times. Allied
forces have chewed up some of the
best troops of Red China, he add

replace.

Looking into 1851. the U. N.
economists say civilian investment
and consumption in the United
States are expected to be re-
duced; rearmament in Western
Europe may involve not only a
cutback in civilian output but a
deterioration in trade balance po-
sition; underdeveloped countries
will find ready markets for their
primary products, but may find it
difficult to buy needed machinery
and tools for economic develop
ment.
