In 1862 Father Slattery was transferred to St. Joseph's Church. Balti- more, where he died in 1866. For a time after Father Slattery's going there was no regular priest in attendance. Later came Rev. Charles O'Reilly, who was succeeded by the Redemptorist Fathers of Cumberland, among whom may be especially mentioned Father Eberhardt. During his administration a parochial school was established. In September of the same year ( 1864) the Redemptorist Fathers Wirth, Heming and Kness preached a mission here with much success, following which the parish passed into the charge of Rev. William H. Gross, who remained until the Redemptorist Fathers left Cumberland. Next came the Carmelite Fathers, who were followed, through the decision of Archbishop Spaulding (1868) to place all parishes under diocesan priests, by Rev. D. C. DeWulf, a Frenchman of superior attainments. whose energy and zeal awakened great activity among the faithful. The growing congregation made necessary the appointment of an assistant, the Rev. Jeremiah O'Sullivan, who later, upon the promotion of Father DeWulf to a Washington parish, was made pastor.
Rev. Jeremiah O'Sullivan was born in the county of Cork in 1842. In 1861 he came to America and was ordained by Archbishop Spaulding in 1868. A year later his career began at Westernport. By him was erected the present church and convent and he promoted the parochial schools. Father O'Sullivan's crusade against drink will not be forgotten. He was the pioneer of total abstinence. and his work was not without profit, not only locally, but nationally. Father O'Sullivan, after nine years' noble work in Westernport. was called to St. Peter's Church, Washington, D. C., where his ability gained him great repute, and in September. 1885, he was consecrated Bishop of Mobile. Bishop O'Sullivan passed to his great reward August 10. 1896.
Next came Father George W. Devine, whose ministering care did much for Westernport. Beginning his studies in 1863, Father Devine was ordained 1871 by Rt. Rev. Bishop Becker. He came to Westernport from St. Mary's Star of the Sea Church, Baltimore, where he had been an assistant, and although but a short time in this field, Father Devine reduced the church debt and improved the church property as well. From Westernport Father Devine went to become Chancellor of the Archdiocese, and later was made

pastor of St. Peter's Church, Washington, D. C. At present Father Devine is the beloved pastor of St. John's Church, Baltimore.
Rev. John M. Jones followed Father Devine, and his administration is pleasantly remembered. The next pastor of St. Peter's Church was Rev. Michael J. Brennan, who paid off the chuch debt in full, and was promoted to the pastorate of St. Patrick's Church, Cumberland ..
Father Peter R. Weider, the next pastor, was ordained December, 1881, by His Grace Archbishop Gibbons. His first appointment was at Hancock, Nd., where he ministered for four years. He came to Westernport in Octo- ber. 1885. For ten years Father Weider was pastor of St. Peter's Church, Westernport-ten years of progress, devotion and popularity. Four years after leaving Westernport Father Weider died at Baltimore. October, 1895.
Rev. Joseph M. Walter was temporary successor to Father Weider, whose health was precarious when he came to Westernport. and who never re- gained his strength. He died March 20, 1898.
The end of the century history of Westernport found St. Peter's Church in charge of Rev. Thomas E. Lyons. Born in Baltimore, Father Lyons en- tered St. Charles College September 7, 1876, where he graduated with high distinction June, 1883. In 1883 he was ordained by His Eminence James Cardinal Gibbons and appointed assistant of the Church of St. Mary's Star of the Sea. Baltimore. From St. Mary's Star of the Sea, Father Lyons was appointed pastor of St. Peter's Church, Hancock, Md., and from thence he came to Westernport, where he has earned a lofty place in the hearts of his con- gregation and won distinction for his progressive administration at St. Peter's Church.
The present pastor. Rev. Father T. E. Gallagher. was appointed September 27, 1902, to the charge of the spiritual welfare of St. Peter's parish, having been transferred from St. Patrick's Church, Cumberland, Md., where he had been stationed for about eight years.
Father Gallagher, through ability and congeniality, soon won the good will of his parishioners and demonstrated that a new school building was a neces- sity, and in 1905 the structure was begun and completed in 1906. Father Gallagher also set about to gather funds for the erection of the large and beautifully equipped hall now known as St. Peter's Hall.
During his pastorate at St. Peter's Father Gallagher has been ably assisted by Rev. Father Martin O'Donohue, formerly of St. John's, Baltimore, Md., during the years of 1902-1904. and by Father Heath, till his appointment to the Catholic University, October, 1908. Since that time the mantle of care in hand- ling the entire parish has rested on the shoulders of Father Gallagher alone.
Among the societies connected with St. Peter's is one of the strongest tem- perance societies in the country. The society was founded by His Grace the late Bishop O'Sullivan, and has a membership extending throughout the United States; especially is this true of the department of the society attached to St. Peter's, on whose records are names of former Westernporters who are living in distant lands yet retain their membership in the parish and there pay their dues.
The Cadets of Temperance, a union temperance society, was introduced by Father Gallagher.

ST. GABRIEL'S CHURCH
BARTON, MD.
REV. JAMES QUINN. Pastor.
On George's Creek, midway between Lonaconing and Westernport, in a deep valley, is situated the town of Barton, named after Barton, England, by the Shaw family who first settled here. The coming of Patrick Cadden, in 1854, was the beginning of the church in Barton. In his house was celebrated first the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass by visiting priests-Fathers Slattery and O'Reilly. Not long after this a small chapel was erected on the ground which is now the cemetery of St. Gabriel.
The Barton parish is the child of St. Mary's Church, of Lonaconing, and remained in the charge of the Lonaconing priests, until it became of such strength as to sustain a pastor of its own. From 1856 to 1860 the Redemptorist Fathers came occasionally to Barton, which visits were renewed from 1863 to 1866, in which year the Carmelite Fathers of Cumberland ministered to the growing charge, numbering about 600 souls. Father Phillipp had charge, and upon him may be placed the responsibility for the situation of the new church. which was planned during this period. Barton was attended as a mission of Westernport until 1871 by Fathers de Wulf and O'Sullivan. In this year Father James O'Brien came to Barton and for four years blessed the parish with his faithful administration, during which time the property was beantified and the bell installed.
In 1875 Barton had its first resident pastor, Rev. William Mahoney, who remained for two years, being succeeded by Rev. M. A. Fenne, late in 1876. Father Fenne after two years of successful labor was followed by Father John T. McCall, who remained until Angust, 1881, when Barton became a mission to Westernport, and was attended by Rev. Michael J. Brennan in conjunction with the Capuchin Fathers of Cumberland. In 1882 Rev. Peter M. Manning took permanent charge and remained until 1884. Rev. James P. Carey succeeded Father Manning, who was promoted to Lonaconing. Father Carey has won no small reputation as a poet of high merit. He was followed at Barton by Rev. Stephen J. Clarke in 1886. In 1890, upon the removal of Father Clarke to Frostburg, Father Thomas E. Gallagher became pastor. At the close of the century St. Gabriel's Church was in charge of Rev. John J. Conway.
The present pastor, Rev. James Quinn, came to St. Gabriel's from St. Joseph's Church, Baltimore, Md .. September 1. 1908.

ST. JOHN'S CHURCH FREDERICK, MD.
REV. WILLIAM J. KANE. Pastor.
Frederick, one of the prettiest cities of Maryland, is situated on both sides of Carroll Creek, about sixty-one miles from Baltimore. It has a population verg- ing on 15,000, excellent railroad facilities, municipal government, electric light plant, waterworks, a telephone system and well-paved streets.
The main facts of this article are taken from Scharf's "Western Maryland."
"To write fully the history of St. John's Catholic Church and residence is to give the history of Catholicism in Frederick County. All the churches in the county have been more or less connected with St. John's. St. Joseph's on the Manor, and the churches of Petersville, Liberty and Middletown, are its off- shoots. St. John's is also associated with the churches of Mount St. Mary's and Emmitsburg, as having had for a number of years the same pastor, the Rev. John Du Bois, afterward the Bishop of New York. By the middle of the last century a number of Catholics had settled in Monocacy Valley. They were prin- cipally of English origin, having come directly from England or from the lower counties of the State. Many of them were tenants on Carroll's Manor, on the Monocacy, and these formed the nucleus of St. Joseph's parish, at present under the charge of the Fathers of the Novitiate."
"In enumerating the Catholic population of Frederick one hundred years ago. the German Catholics have also to be taken into the reckoning. Some Hessians settled in Frederick Town at the end of the Revolutionary war, but of these very few were Catholics. There were also a few Irish Catholics scattered through the country."
"The Fathers of this mission had stations, churches or residences through Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and a part of New York. Most likely Fred- erick Valley was for some time attended directly from St. Thomas'. The Father who was appointed for the work used, no doubt, to make long excursions, which would take in the Catholics of what is now the District of Columbia, of Mont- gomery and Frederick Counties, along the banks of the Potomac River. After the mission was begun at Conewago, some German father would perhaps go to Frederick Town, a distance of forty miles, to administer the Sacraments to the faithful of his nationality. In the course of time the number of Catholics in- creased and it became necessary to build a residence and chapel."
"This residence and chapel were accordingly erected in 1763 by Father John Williams, an English Jesuit. There is reason to believe that Father George Hunter was the successor of Father Williams. In Campbell's list of ex-Jesuits. alluded to before. Father James Framback is set down as the next pastor of Frederick Town, in the year 1773. Father James Walton succeeded Father Fram- back. Father Walton was an Englishman and came to Maryland in the year 1776, and died at St. Inigoes in 1803."
"The small chapel of Father Williams was for forty years the only place of worship for Catholics of Frederick County."
"The Rev. John Du Bois is too conspicuous in the history of the Church in the United States to need any notice here. He also had under his care the Catholics

about Emmitsburg, and those of Montgomery County, Martinsburg, Western Maryland and Virginia. and. in fact, for a long time was the only priest between Baltimore and St. Louis. One of the first undertakings of the new pastor was to build a church in place of the small upper room in the residence. This work began in the year 1800."
"The church was a brick building eighty-two feet in length and forty-five feet wide, and having been torn down, in part. in 1859, and rebuilt and transformed, has since been used by the Junior Fire Company as an infirmary."
"The Rev. Du Bois remained in Frederick until 1806, when he removed to Em- mitsburg, and from this place probably went to Frederick once or twice a month. Things continued in this state until Father Francis Malevie, of the Society of Jesus, took charge. This occurred in 1811. The church continued to grow, especially in the more distant stations, and it became necessary a few years later to build small churches in several parts of the country. The church of St. John's was still unfinished and was even unsafe. Father Malevie had the eburch plastered in 1812, and the roof was secured by means of wooden columns. Father Malevie died October 3, 1822."
"Several gentlemen, among whom was Mr. Taney, addressed a letter to the Father Superior asking him to retain Father McElroy. The request was granted and thus was begun a career of usefulness which, if we consider the resources at hand, has scarcely been equaled in any city in the country."
"Toward the end of 1823, negotiations were begun with the Superior of the Sisters of Charity for the establishment of the community in Frederick."
"In 1825 it became necessary to build a larger establishment for the Sisters, to serve for a school and an orpban asylum. During this year ( 1825) Father MeElroy had as his assistant Father P. W. Walsh, who was much needed, as the congregation in Frederick alone was enough for one priest."
"The pastor had done a great deal toward finishing and beautifying the old church in Frederick, but on account of the increase in the congregation, it was thought advisable to extend the front of the church fifteen or twenty feet and erect galleries. The project was abandoned for some time for want of money. In 1832 the new plan was put before the congregation and four thousand dollars were subscribed. To this amount was added a legacy of another thousand dollars. Very Rev. Father Peter Kenney, Superior and Visitor, was consulted and after an interchange of opinions, it was finally resolved, in January, 1833. that the work should be undertaken and the site changed to the lot on the opposite side of the street."
"The corner-stone was laid in the northeast angle of the nave on St. Joseph's Day, in 1833. On April 26 St. John's was consecrated with the usual impressive services of the Church."
"The school building was burned down in 1845, but was soon replaced by another."
"Father Thomas Lilly succeeded Father MeElroy in September, 1845. The assistants were Fathers George Villiger. Stonestreet, Meredith, Jenkins, Finotti and Bogue."
"In 1846 the Sisters of Charity withdrew and were replaced by the Nuns of the Visitation from Georgetown. In 1848 Father Charles H. Stonestreet became the successor of Father Lilly. Father Thomas Mullaly was appointed the suc- cessor of Father Stonestreet at the end of 1850. The pastors after Father Mullaly were Fathers Villiger, Samuel Barber, Hippolyte, De Neckere, Blen- kinsop and McAtee. The assistants during this period. from 1853 to 1860, were at different times, Fathers Bogue. Duddy and Tuffer."
158
ST. JOHN'S CHURCH-Continued.
"In 1860 the residence on Church street was rented out, and the Fathers and Brothers connected with the church and college took up their abode in the Noviti- ate, where they have since remained. The pastors who followed Father Sourin, who had charge of the church from 1860 to 1870, were Fathers O'Kane, Smith. .Jenkins, Ciampi, Fulmer, and lastly, Father Stonestreet, who, after an absence of twenty-five years, returned to the church as its parish priest."
"Recently the parish has been in charge of the following pastors: Fathers Gache, Peters, Holland, Brand, Hann and Gaffney, all of whom labored with zeal and success to advance the interest of their people."
"The most renowned pastor of Frederick is unquestionably Father John Mc- Elroy. He built a magnificent church at Frederick, where the Maryland province now has its Novitiate. In 1847, the famous Jesuit was sent to Boston, which for seventeen years became the principal scene of his zeal and his labors."
In the year 1900 Father Coleman was succeeded by Rev. William J. Kane. under whose supervision St. John's Church has seen many improvements both in the property as well as spiritual welfare.
