ST. JOSEPH'S CHURCH, MIDLAND, MD.
SKETCH OF ST. PATRICK'S CHURCH MT. SAVAGE, MD.
On the Cumberland and Pennsylvania Railroad, about nine miles from Cumberland, is situated the historic town of Mt. Savage. Serenely set in a crown of picturesque grandeur, Alt. Savage sparkles with industry. Here is located the immense industry conducted by the Enamel Brick Company, the machine shops of the Cumberland and Pennsylvania Railroad, and many other large labor-employing concerns, to whose enterpise and commercial genins Mt. Savage owes largely its local prosperity.
Definite Catholic history begins in Mt. Savage with the first Mass said at Arnold's Settlement (now Mit. Savage) by Rev. Stephen Theodore Bodin in 1793. The settlement was named for Archbishop Arnold, whose grandson. Rev. John Cronin, afterward became celebrated as a Redemptorist priest. Rev. Father Bodin, with whom begins the church history of Mt. Savage, was the first priest ordained in this country-May 25, 1793. His death occurred in 1853. Like every fruitful seed. the first Mass grew into more frequent Masses. Before the erection of a church services were held in Arnold's Hotel.
Rev. Nicholas Zocchi, an Italian of profound learning, frequently visited our little town, his home station being Taneytown, where he died in 1845. Afterward (1832) the settlement was visited by Rev. Matthew Ryan, of Hagerstown. In 1819 the mission was in charge of Rev. Timothy Ryan, who visited the mission about four times a year for five years. Father Ryan died in Hagerstown in 1837. During these visits the first church was built-not a large one-scarcely larger than an ordinary room-but still a church. About 1824 the settlement was visited during the year by Rev. Francis Roloff, who was the eleventh seminarian enrolled at St. Mary's Seminary.
Rev. Francis Xavier Marshall in 1829 took charge of the settlement conjointly with his pastorate at St. Patrick's, Cumberland. During this period a new brick church was built, which Father Marshall. an ex-Jesuit. named St. Ignatius. The lot on which the church stood is now a part of St. Patrick's Cemetery, and was given by Archbishop Arnold.
At this period the congregation was multiplying rapidly, many laborers and mechanics being attracted to the town by the works and the mines. An addition was built to the church. In 1835 Father Marshall was called to other fields.
For the next five years the church was in charge of Fathers Henry Meyers and Bertrand S. Peat. At this time in the class as a mission, the Mt. Savage Congregation was larger than the one of Cumberland. Father Leonard Obermeyer, of Cumberland, also attended occasionally, and predicted the after greatness of Mt. Savage.
In 1845 the new railroad was about completed; the furnaces and mills were alive with industry, and the population was near the four thousand mark. Farmer, merchant and mechanic felt the touch of the healthy prosperity that prevailed. About this time Father Charles C. Brennan was sent by Archbishop Eccleston to assist Father Obermeyer. The importance of Mt.

SKUR HI @ St. PATRICK'S Cung u-Continued
Savage had been foreseen by Father Obermeyer; it was realized by Father Brennanwand by an arrangement of happy import to both Father Brennan became the first resident pastor of Mt. Savage, with Eckhart, Barreville and Wellersburg as adjacent missions. For nearly ten years Father Brennan labored in the pastoral field of Mt. Savage, and in 1856 he was succeeded by Rev. James Carney, who was appointed to the charge by Most Rev. Archbishop Kendrick. Father Carney was ordained in 1553, and served as assistant of St. Patrick's at Cumberland. Prior to his promotion the church at this time was too small and very inconveniently situated. A new location was sought, and the selection decided by one-half acre of ground by the Mt. Savage Iron Company. About this time Father Carney was called away from Mt. Savage but died soon after his departure. In the latter part of the year 1862 build- ing operations were begun, and the name of the church was changed from St. Ignatius to St. Patrick. Rev. Richard Brown succeeded Father Carney, and remained in charge until June, 1868. At the time Mt. Savage reached the zenith of its commercial glory.
Railroad extension had made Mt. Savage the most important town be- tween Cumberland and Piedmont. The work of building was rapidly ad- Faured. with Father Brown as architect and superintendent of the building; and whilst there was no very great structural beauty to the edifice. its con- enience and location were ideal.
In July, 1868, Father Brown was succeeded by Rev. Jeremiah Hendricks. who had been ordained in 1867 by Rev. Bishop Whelan, of Wheeling. W. Va. Of aesthetic temperament. Father Hendricks undertook the improvement of the architectural outline of the church. In addition to changing the slant of the roof, he added a tower, which gave a greatly improved tone to the structure. In October, 1873, the church was dedicated by His Grace Arch- bishop Bayley. On July 27. 1875, Father Hendricks died, and his remains lie in the cemetery under the shadow of the church wherein he labored so faith- fully. Rev. Patrick Francis O'Conner succeeded as pastor in September, 1875. Ordained in Louisiana, trained for missionary work, later sent as chaplain in the army, from causes of ill health he applied to Archbishop Spaulding for a diocesan pastorate, with the result of his appointment to Mt. Savage. after a short service as assistant to Monsignor MeColgan at St. Peter's Church, of Baltimore, and a mission charge in Harford County.
During his pastorate Mt. Savage Hall was erected. Father O'Connor's eccen- tricities, both conversational and musical, will keep his memory long alive. He died April 30, and to quote the words of Father Staunton in his work on "The History of Western Maryland." "The people whom he had faithfully served laid the remains of the lion-like O'Connor beside the lamb-like Hendricks."
Mt. Savage during the summer months following Father O'Conner's death was in charge of the Rev. Capuchin Fathers of Cumberland.
Rev. Edward A. Williams was appointed pastor of Mt. Savage in Sep- tember. 1894. Born in Ireland, Father Williams received part of his classical education before coming to America. He was ordained hy His Eminence Cardinal Gibbons in 1886, and became assistant at St. Leo's Church. Balti- more, and St. Matthew's, Washington, before coming to Mt. Savage. I'nder Father Williams' charge St. Patrick's of Mt. Savage was improved and advanced until it stands today as one of the best equipped churches in Western Maryland.
During his pastorate a new and up-to-date parochial school was built, also a new convent for the Sisters of Notre Dame.
Many brilliant churchmen are sons of Mt. Savage, among whom may be mentioned such noteworthy names as those of Rt. Rev. Monsignor O'Conner,

Father Dowling was born July 8. 1871. in Johnstown, Pa. After graduating from the parochial school he entered St. Charles College. Ellicott City, Md .. to prepare for his priestly vocation in September, 1885. After six years of faithful study at St. Charles College, and five years at St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore, Md .. he was ordained by His Eminence James Cardinal Gibbons, in June 19, 1896.

ST. PETER'S CHURCH OAKLAND, MD.
REV. JAMES E. CONNELL, Pastor.
Three thousand feet above the sea, on the summit of the Allegheny Moun- tain, is built Oakland.
The lay history, as well as the Catholic history of Oakland, begins with Isaac McCarty, who owned in 1848 all the land on which the town now stands. The survey of the railroad marked its route through McCarty's land, and a year later the town was laid out and a depot built. A young priest came to Oakland on a pleasure trip in the summer of 1849, and was a guest of Isaac McCarty, and having come prepared to say Mass this priest, by name Rev. Wm. D. Parsons, had the distinction of offering up, in the first house built in the town, the first Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in what is now the county seat of Garrett County. Father Parson was of English descent and born in Baltimore, where he entered St. Mary's Seminary as a student. He was ordained by Archbishop Eccleston in August 1845, at which time there were not twenty priests in the whole city. His first appointment was assistant at St. Vincent's. He afterward became a professor in St. Mary's Seminary. In 1859 he became Chaplain at Mt. De Sales Academy, where he died in 1899.
In the summer of 1850-with the close of the church at Blooming Rose, and with the impetus of the building of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad-Oakland numbered quite a number of Catholics in its growing population, which attracted to its spiritual needs the attention of Rev. Michael Slattery, of Frostburg. Two years later a small chapel was erected. Many German families coming to Oak- land gave a German phase to the settlement, which brought to the parish the religious offices of the good Redemptorist Fathers of Cumberland, as evidenced by the names of Fathers Van de Braak and Weyrich on the records,
In 1855 the mission was in charge of Rev Richard Brown, of MIt. Savage. Father Carney likewise made occasional visits to Oakland. Father O'Reilly later took Oakland in his charge and visited it from time to time until 1863, when he relinquished the little town to the Redemptorists of Cumberland- notably among whom are noted Fathers Eberhardt, Weist and Gerdemann.
In 1865 Archbishop Spalding visited Cumberland and administered the Sacrament of Confirmation. Late in 1866, with the purchase of the Redemptorist property in Cumberland. the Carmelite Fathers assumed charge of Oakland, remembered of whom are Fathers Lewis, McDonald and Elias, and so continued until 1868 when Oakland became a mission of Westernport. Incorporated in 1861, the town has continued to grow. As a mission the parish fell to the care of Rev. D. C. DeWulf, whose visits were of greater frequency than those of his predecessors.
In 1809 Father O'Sullivan, then assistant to Father DeWulf, first visited Oakland. Popular from the start, Father O'Sullivan soon became a prime favorite with the Oakland congregation, and with his promotion to the pas- torate of Westernport gave particular attention to his Oakland charge. He built the school house and established a school and worked zealously for the advancement of the Oakland Church.
On April 1, 1872, Garrett County was created by Act of Legislature and Oakland became the County Seat. The building of a court house and public buildings gave impulse to Oakland's prosperity. During Father O'Sullivan's pastorate he purchased a cemetery and the blessing of the cemetery was his last official act.
In May, 1878, Rev. Joseph A. Gallen came to Oakland as the first resident
141

pastor. He was enthusiastically received, but the climate disagreeing with his health he was called away January, 1879. On the day of Father Gallen's departure. Rev. Joseph M. Frueschler was appointed to Oakland. He developed consumption, however, and died a few years later.
For two years after 1880 Rev. Casper Schmitt had charge of St. Peter's Church. and was succeeded by Father Romaine Mattingly on September 10. 1882, who immediately planned and built a pastoral residence. In September. 1897. after a most successful administration by Father Mattingly, he was followed by Rev. Francis A. Wunnenburg, who made many friends, but was forced by the climatic conditions to leave Oakland, being succeeded by Rev. James E. Connell. Father Connell was born in Pittsburg, but was reared in Cumberland. receiving his early education in St. Patrick's parochial school in that city. His classical studies were pursued at St. Charles College, where for deportment piety and talent, he was elected prefect of the Blessed Virgin Sodality. From there he went to St. Mary's Seminary, where he made a distinctive record by his studies. In 1895 he was ordained by His Eminence Cardinal Gibbons and received his first appointment as assistant pastor at Newport, Charles County. His brilliant work for the first year won recognition from His Eminence, the Cardinal, which found expression in his elevation to the pastorate of St. Peter's, where his success was immediate and lasting.
Father James E. Connell assumed charge of St. Peter's Church, Oakland, Md., in 1900, having been transferred from Newport. Charles County. Md.
His first step was to gather funds to wipe out an old debt which hung over the parish and develop resources which would yield a handsome church. This glorious wish of Father Connell's, aided by zeal and enterprise, bore rich fruit. and the magnificent new church was occupied February 15. 1903. and dedi- cated to the glory of God and the Catholic faith September 6, 1903, the cere- monies being conducted by that grand churchman Bishop Curtis.
Father Thomas G. Smyth, now assistant at St. Stephen's Church, Washing- ton, D. C., preached the sermon. The debt of the new church. $22.000, has been wiped out, as also the prior debt at the time of Father Connell's induction into the office of pastor of St. Peter's.

ST. PETER'S CHURCH WESTERNPORT, MD.
REV. THOMAS E. GALLAGHER, Pastor.
The pioneer days of Westernport date back to before the Revolution. To-day it is a prosperous town with three railroads carrying away the output of busy coal mines and the products of the extensive pulp paper mills. The Catholic history of Westernport begins, however, not till quite late in its progress. Sixty years ago the only Catholics were Patrick McGuire and An- drew Mullen. Early in 1849 the first Mass was said by Father O'Conner, Re- demptorist priest, at the house of Patrick McGuire. Father Cronenberg a few months later visited Bloomington and offered up the Holy Sacrifice. Rev. Michael Slattery, of Frostburg, began to visit this neighborhood about the year 1850, when the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad completed its extension to Bloomington. His visits awakened Catholic enthusiasm, and an old ware- house was purchased and remodeled into a chapel, and here Father Slattery conducted services once a month. The congregation grew apace, and the chapel was soon enlarged. This chapel was known as "Father Slattery's Cathedral." and stood on the upper side of the railroad.
