will bo timely nnd Interesting
to all. It is fact , strAitio us it may poem ,
tint the history of this venerable build *

It is n pleasure , therefore , to pi vo.tho pub *
Ho the unwritten chapter of church his
tory , gathered fiom authentic eourco * .
Early in the fifties , the streams of immi
gration that sur ed westward from the
stntoj were closely followed by thfl minis
ters of God , whose zeal in the holy calling
tended to mitigate the hard-hips ot border
life.
VILLAGES OK 1'APEn
sprang up everywhere , and townsites wore
striked at every ri cr ford The Indians
had not relinquished their title to the land
upon which Omaha stands before corner
lota were mapped above the graves of their
hires. The first claim was made in 1853 ,
He.eral months before our venerable post
master appenrcrl , hat in hand , upon the
scene , but scarce a yrar had past before
the Indian title was extinguished and Nt--
bra'ka organized OB n territory. The ap
pointment of Governor Uurt nnd Secre
tary Cuining to administer the lawc , gave
the town considerable prominence , nnd
every effort was made by the citizens to
show the advantages of the plnco in order
to secure the < apital prize. The rush for
the new Mecca on the banks of the Mis
souri included men of all creeds and pr -
fessions. The fint minister , of whom
there is any record , was llov. Mr. Cooper ,
a Methodist , and
THE HRST CHURCH SEnVICEH
wcro held in a log building familiarly
Imowh as the Old Claim Iluueo , on the
13ih of Augu t , 1854. Meantime the ter
ritorial capital was located here and work
commenced on the capital building. In
the summer of ' 55 the lirst minister of the
Catholic church , Rev. Father K&imonds ,
visited the town , greatly to the joy of the
score or more families and many single
members of that faith then here. He en
joys the honor of having been the pioneer
priest in Omaha and the territory. Ho
ministered to the spiritual needs of the
Catholics , nnd celebrated HZ5
in the representatiye hall of the capital.
By hia real and his encouraging words the
first stops toward the erection of a church
were taken ; funds were collected , and theE
reject had gone so far that the trenches
E > r the fqundation were duz on the north
east corner1 of Eighth and'Ho ward streets.
The digging of these trenchea led to i.
great commotion. The founders of tfie
t jwn had laid out a park , extending from
Jackson to Davenport streets , a block in
width , for which their brilliant imagina
tions pictured future generations singing
their praises while "sporting on the
green. " Most of the" town at that time
was in the valley south of Harney street.
Bnidi , weeds and Indian mounds were
thick in that vicinity , and corner stakes
were difficult to find. However , word
went through town that
"TUB IBISH WKHE JCMI-INO THE PAUK , "
and the population turned out ( o a , nnn.
Tlio Irish did not scare at the display of
superldr strength , but soon convinced the
belligerents by finding the stakes that they
were correct.
Before the foundation of the church was
laid Father , CimnondH was suddenly called
awa7 by Bishop Lores , of Duruque and
the building was abandoned. The park ,
too , disappeared noon after , and furnished
a large portion of money that built the
"Herndon House , " now the U. P. head
quarters.
The Cathalislid , not long remain idle ,
fur wo find that early In the spring of ' 50 ,
with funds already collected , and the do
nation * of recent arrivals , contracts were
let for building
THK KIUST ciiimcH
in the city and territory. The two lotw
were donated by the Nebraska and Iowa
Ferry Co. The building was to bo of
brick , 24x40 , The contract for the istono
foundation was given to two sterling rep *
reuontativcs of warring races. Mr , James
Ferry and Jenkinson. They also enjoy
the distinction of having laid the founda
tion of the cap tel building and that of the
"Wettern Exchange Dank , " now occupied
by Caldwell & Hamilton. The former is a
hale and hearty farmer near Fprrst
City , tiarpy county , and father-in *
law of our present county treasurer.
The stone waa firt brought from Luta a
quarry , afterwards from J , II. Mold's
and Bom ? frnm'.T , H. Green's. The brick
work was done by the firm of Bovey &
A ) matrong , also builders of the Capitol ,
and the first brick wts laid by Mr. Henry
Livesey of this city , one of their employes.
The carpenter work was done by wolf el &
Baker of Columbus ,
While the building was under way
Father Scanlan of St. Joseph , Mo. , arrived
in town nnd celebrated the second mass in
the parlor of the residence of Acting-Gov
ernor Cumlng , ' Tills brick houee still op-
cupies a conspicuous position on the cor *
ner of 17th and Dodge streets , and can be *
easily distinguished from the more elnbor *
ate architecture of Its modern neighbors.
It is still tenanted by Mrs , Uumlug , ade *
vout anil highly respected old lady , whose
real aijd prominence In those days united
the Catholics In their efforts to build a
house of worship. ,
Shortly after the completion of the
building Father Scanlan returned from fit ,
Joseph end dedicated Kt. I'hllomeim's
church in AugUBt,1850. The building was
crowded by Catholics , and many people of
other creeds which deuired to appropriate
ly honor an event ot such importance.

THE FIR8T C1IOIU.
The old temple was severely jdain and
unpretentious , free of ornamontution with
in nnd without. A simple wooden cross ,
devoid of paint or gilding , surmounted the
western gable , mutely proclaiming , "In
this sign conquer , " The altar occupltd
the southeast corner ; the opposite i orner
was partitioned off and used as the sac in-
ty. A rude gnllery or organ loft wn buiit

SHORN OF iw atom.
After the completion of the Ninth street
Cathedral in 1807 , the church waa turned
into a school and placed in charge of the
Si-ters of Mercy. In thin capacity it
served to'laythe foundations of faith In
handreds of the youth ol the city , and to
crulda their footsteps in the paths that lead
to usefulness and honor in after life. The
charges of a quarter of a century has not
disturbed a eingle feature of the old tem
ple. . A brick/wing waa built on the south
uide a few years'ago to accommodate the
rapidly increasing number of childien , but
with with this exception it standsto day
as it did in " 5G , when the pi neora gatli-
p"c < . ' . within its unplastored walls to ren
der homage to Beingi above.

The steady increase of the youth of the
church , from immigration and natural
causes , necessitated nt un early dny the
erection of A school building. First n
imnll frame was put up south of the
church , ntd this for a short time accom
modated both sexes. Another and
larger frame was soon built and set
npnrt for the boys , The first teacher
was n Mr. Webster , who waa succeeded in
'GG by our present coun y treasurer , Hon.
John Hush The'latter ' , it is anid , had
the fortuto of limping the intellectual
destlnlei of as llvrly a crowd of boys as
was ev er crowded into a frontier scluol.
Itigid discipline and a good supply of
shiuglos , with a disposition to promptly
apply the latter , was necessary five days
out of seven to''rear the tender thought
and teach the young idea how to shoot. "
The Doys were expert shootieta from the
shoulder , and exhibitions of the "manly
art" without were much mare frequent
than intellectual contests without the
Hcbool. Many of
THOSE 1)01H )
now occupy positions of trusts and respon
sibility in the various departments of in-
iustry. Among them are J. Linehan ,
Terrence and John Mahoney , Patrick and
John Swift , John and Mnrtln Kennedy ,
James , Frank and Will Norton , Charles
nnd Joseph C'Byrne , Willie nnd James

Mr. John McGouldrlck followed Mr.
Rush at teacher , and after a few yearn
service was ordained a priest. JJ is health
soon failed , however , consumption , slow
and certaw.Bet Ji ) . nnd In a few short
years A ftealous ana brilliant servant of the
: hurch was laid to rest in the cemetery of
the Holy Sepulchre. Mr. Courtenay was
the next teacher , followed by Mr. Watson ,
and finally MM. Quanp. Iu 77 the buildIng -
Ing was moved to North Omaha , aud con
secrated as a church when the pariah of
the Holy Family was created. The coin *
plt-ti'm of the batcinent of the new church
deprived It of its holy calling ) the loony
prattle of youth ow echpes within its
walls , and to-day it serves the purpose
'
originally intended'
Time has dealt lealently and fortune has
favored most of the laymen connected
with the old church , but the ranks' of the
clergy have been thinned by the hand of
death. The Iteyerond Bishop and Father
Curtis sleci ) beneath the maiblo shrine
their anus liftlped to raise. Father Scan *
Ian. too , has Joined the immortal throng ,
and Fathers Tracy , Kavannuph and Can
non. But little now remains to complete
the ruin and destroy the last link connect
ing the dead past with the progressive
present ,
