In 1872 Rev. W. M. Stanford was appointed missionary, it being his first work. The prop- erty was repaired, and dedicated on Oct. 15, 1872. The Rev. T. G. Clewell officiated at the dedication, and the sum of eleven hundred dol-

lars was raised at the service. During the pas- torate of Rev. Mr. Stanford considerable at- tention was given to the Sunday school enter- prise. The attendance increased from between fifteen and twenty to between sixty and seventy-five.

In 1888, under the pastorate of Rev. L. M. Boyer, the "Old Academy" building was torn down and a new building erected, which was dedicated Dec. 23, 1888, at a cost of five thou- sand dollars.

In 1900, under the pastorate of Rev. A. J. Beal, the Rocky Grove United Evangelical Church was built at a cost of $2,068.68.

In 1902, under the pastorate of Rev. C. D. Slagle, the Oak Hill United Evangelical Church was built.

In 1912, under the second pastorate of Rev. C. D. Slagle, the trustees decided to erect a new and more commodious church building, adapted especially for Sunday school work. The last service in the old church was held May 11, 1913. The cornerstone of the new church was laid on Aug. 10, 1913, Rev. F. E. Hetrick, a former pastor under whose pastor- ate the building fund was started, officiating. The new church was completed and dedicated on Jan. 25, 1914, at a cost of twenty-five thou- sand dollars, under the pastorate of Rev. F. N. Boyer. Bishop W. M. Stanford officiated at the dedication.

On Sept. 15, 1914, when Rev. S. V. Carmany began his pastorate, there was an indebtedness of $9,156.00. Through his energetic efforts the entire debt has been cancelled. The mem- bership of the church now numbers more than five hundred, and it is one of the leading con- gregations of the Pittsburgh Conference.

The following are the names of the mission- aries and pastors of the church in the order in which they have served: Rev. J. D. Domer, 1870-1871 ; Rev. J. H. Bates, 1871-1872; Rev. W. M. Stanford, 1872-1875 ; Rev. J. H. Bates, 1875-1877; Rev. J. Q. A. Weller, 1877-1878; Rev. H. C. Hurd, 1878-1881 : Rev. F. P. Say- lor, 1881-1883; Rev. B. F. Feitt, 1883-1884; Rev.

VENANGO COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA

THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH St. Patrick's, Franklin

The formal organization of the Roman Cath- olic Church in the county is of comparatively recent date, but the rites and ceremonies of the church were administered in these parts when Venango county was a savage wilderness. In the summer of 1749 Celoron's expedition de- scended the Allegheny river and took possession in the name of France. Its chaplain, the Rev. . Joseph Peter de Bonnecamp, ministered to the soldiers of the expedition and to such Indians as he could reach. In the spring of 1754, upon the completion of Fort Machault and its occu- pation by a garrison, the services of the Roman Catholic Church were held regularly by the chaplains here and at Presque Isle, Le Boeuf, and Duquesne. Among the white settlers of Venango county there was from the first a sprinkling of Roman Catholics; but it was not sufficiently great or concentrated to organize a congregation. From about 1807 the scattered faithful were visited by missionary priests, among them the Rev. Fathers William O'Brian, Charles McGuire, Patrick O'Neil and John O'Reilly. In about 1819 Jeremiah Clancy came from Philadelphia to Franklin. He estab- lished himself at the corner of Thirteenth and Elk streets in 1830. Like William Cary he was a shoemaker. The services of the Church were held at his house by the visiting priests. Grad- ually the number of the Roman Catholic fam- ilies increased. On May 1, 1852, Michael Gormley and a few others purchased a lot from Arnold Plumer. Several efforts were made to organize a congregation, but they failed. How- ever, the Rev. John Pugh continued to say Mass at the house of Mr. Clancy. Later the congregation met in the second story of John Duffield's building on Liberty street, and still later in the old Academy on Buffalo street. Father Pugh collected some funds for a church building, but the work of soliciting was com- pleted by the Rev. Arthur Mignault. On Sun- day, May 21, 1865. the Rev. J. D. Coady laid the cornerstone of a frame church. The con- gregation was organized under the name of St. Patrick's Church. Fathed Mignault also erected a parochial residence. Several clergy- men followed in rapid succession. In 1869 the Rev. Thomas Carroll was appointed pastor. In 1870 Bishop Mullen consecrated the church and also some land purchased for a cemetery. Father Carroll then bought two lots at Tenth and Liberty streets, and had the church and parsonage moved to this site.

In 1870 the Rev. John Quincy Adams suc-

ceeded Father Carroll. He served St. Pat- rick's for nearly sixteen years with great ability and exceptional fidelity. During his pastorate the present church edifice was erected. On May 27, 1879, Bishop Mullen laid the corner- stone of the new church. The work was pushed forward as rapidly as possible, and the church was completed in May, 1882. The church was dedicated by the Bishop on the 21st day of May with elaborate ceremonial. It was a day of great triumph for Father Adams-the just reward of his devotion. He died suddenly while on a visit to Mansfield, Ohio, on June 23, 1887, universally mourned by the people of Franklin irrespective of their re- ligious affiliations. He was succeeded by the Rev. James P. McCloskey. He was a fine administrator, and so a worthy successor to Father Adams. He was instrumental in having the indebtedness of St. Patrick's paid and in having the handsome parochial resi- dence erected. He projected the parochial school building and did much to make it pos- sible. He was succeeded by the Rev. Peter Donohue, who carried forward with great fidelity the work of Father McCloskey for nearly sixteen years, until God called him to his rest. The present pastor is the Rev. Father T. B. Downey, a most attractive and devoted priest, who is maintaining the best traditions of the Roman Catholic Church and is com- mending himself and the great cause of Christ to the entire community. The parish now com- prises three hundred families, about twelve hundred souls.

St. Catharine's, Cranberry

It is recorded that the first place of worship owned by the Roman Catholic Church in Cran- berry township was the stone house on the pike near Hall's Run. This was acquired shortly after 1834. probably through the zeal of Owen Boyle, at whose house the missionary priests of that early day usually stopped on their way from the southern to the northern part of the State. The little congregation be- came known as St. Catharine's Church. After the organization of the parishes at Franklin, Oil City, and Emlenton the pastors of these congregations ministered to St. Catharine's. The present church at Salina was dedicated on Sept. 16, 1888.

St. Joseph's Church, Oil City

The services of the Roman Catholic Church were held in the homes of members of the

Church when there were but a few straggling houses at the mouth of Oil creek. The officiat- ing priests came usually from Fryburg or the villages of Clarion county. The services as- sumed some degree of regularity during the winter of 1859-60. The Rev. Patrick O'Neil officiated here at this time. The congregation consisted of the Moran, Sweeney and Gavin families. Fathers Reynolds, Dean, Mitchell, Koch, and Delaroque also ministered to the congregation of the future Oil City. In those early years, and for some time after 1863, the services were held on a flatboat owned by Cap- tain Sweeney and moored near the yards of the Oil City Lumber Company. The first resi- dent pastor was the Rev. David Snively, and the congregation was organized under the title of St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church. The erection of a church edifice was begun under his pastorate, and it was completed under that of his successor, the Rev. J. D. Coady. The Rev. Thomas Carroll assumed the pastorate in 1871. The church was enlarged in 1872 and dedicated by Bishop Young of Erie after its completion. Father Carroll, assisted by the talented Father Ray, ministered with great ac- ceptance and efficiency to St. Joseph's and to the Roman Catholics of the vicinity. They had the valued assistance in their missionary labors of the Rev. Frs. J. L. Finucane, John Smith, Peter Brady, Peter Cawley and J. B. Roycroft. The parochial residence was erected in 1874, and in 1875 the parochial school build- ing-erected in 1870-was enlarged. The Bene- dictine Sisters have here ministered effectively to the education of the Roman Catholic youth of Oil City. During Father Coady's admin- istration the congregation also acquired a tract of land, which was consecrated as St. Joseph's Cemetery. During this decade the matter of a new and larger St. Joseph's Church was agitated.

Father Carroll made every possible prepara- tion to displace the old church on Pearl street with a new church. On July 1, 1898, he was succeeded by the present pastor, the Rt. Rev. Mgr. Peter J. Sheridan, and the new St. Joseph's, placed on a commanding site, became an accomplished fact. Father Carroll was priv- ileged to witness its dedication in 1890. Mgr. Sheridan is highly esteemed for his sterling character and constructive work for the church, the schools and the convent.

St. Stephen's Church

After the death of Father Carroll St. Joseph's Church was divided and St. Stephen's

Church was organized on the South Side. The Rev. John Link became its first pastor. The organization was effected about 1890. The trustees secured the residence and land of the late W. L. Lay. Father Link occupied the house as a parochial residence and conducted the services of the Church in the parlor. Soon another building on the property was con- verted into a chapel, the equipment being sup- plied from the old St. Joseph's. Father Link was succeeded in 1904 after the brief locum tenency of the Rev. Thomas Cantlin, by the present pastor, the Rev. James F. Fielding. The best evidence of his Christian devotion, artistic taste and administrative ability is the magnificent St. Stephen's Church which adorns the South Side. Work was begun in October, 1905, and resumed in July, 1906, and the church was completed the following year and dedicated on Dec. 22, 1907. Father Fielding continues his excellent work for the church. ..

St. Michael's Church, Emlenton

The first steps toward the erection of a Roman Catholic Church at Emlenton were taken in 1867, when Michael McCollough, Jr., of Pittsburgh, gave three acres of ground for that purpose and also an additional tract for a burial ground. The few Roman Catholic families residing in Emlenton, those of Judge Keating, Henry Gormley and T. A. Moran, had been visited by the pastors of adjoining parishes. The Rev. John Koch of Clarion had been especially attentive and really gathered the faithful in a congregation. In the autumn of 1870 Bishop Mullen of the Diocese of Erie laid the cornerstone of a small frame church, and he officiated at its dedication the follow- ing year. The congregation was organized as a parish in 1871 by the Rev. Patrick J. Smith, under the title of St. Michael's Roman Cath- olic Church. A parochial residence was added to the parish equipment in 1872. Father Smith remained pastor until his death, on Aug. 2, 1888. He was a devoted pastor and faithful priest. His immediate successor was the Rev. Hugh Mullen, who has carried forward the good work of his predecessor.

AFRICAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL ZION CHURCH

The members of this branch of the Metho- dist Church residing in Franklin met for serv- ice in the house on the Anderson lot owned by Squire Connelly. The congregation was organized in October, 1865, in the house of Anthony Harris, the Rev. James Henry of

Pittsburgh, presiding at the meeting of organ- ization. In the year 1878 the Annual Confer- ence of the denomination was held in Franklin, the sessions being held in the First Methodist Church. The Rev. Joseph Clinton was the pre- siding bishop, and the Rev. Abraham Cole was the first presiding elder of the district.

After worshiping for some years in the Wesleyan Methodist Church the congregation was reorganized in a house occupying the site of the present church in the rear of Fourteenth street, by the Rev. Joseph Armstrong. The following were chosen trustees of the congre- gation : Anthony Harris, Samuel Adams, Heze- kiah Scott, Caleb Marshall and William Hicks. A parsonage was secured in 1890, the old church edifice being adapted for this purpose. In this year also the congregation resolved to build a new church. The congregation has had its anxieties and struggles, but it has not grown "weary in well doing." The new church was built under the pastorate of the Rev. William H. Snowden, and the church was therefore called the Snowden Chapel. To the Rev. Thomas Slater belongs the honor of securing the payment of the mortgage indebtedness in 1902; and the Rev. J. H. Simpson has the honor of settling amicably the long standing dispute between the African Methodist Epis- copal Bethel Church and the Zion Church. During the pastorate of the Rev. Daniel F. Bradley it was necessary to place a mortgage on the church. It is now being reduced. The list of the successive pastors follows: The Revs. Messrs. James Henry, Joseph Arm- strong. Richard Ferman, J. Edward Little, John Fiddler, John V. Givens, John H. Trem- ble, Nathan H. Williams. The present pastor is the Rev. H. Preston Whitehead. He has been successful in greatly reducing the mort- gage, has materially improved the church and the parsonage, and has just opened a reading room in the church building to accommodate the present great influx of colored people from the South.

Bethel Congregation

For some years a small group of colored people in Franklin attended the Wesleyan Chapel at the corner of Fourteenth and Eagle streets, erected in 1854. The colored brethren desired a minister of their own race, and with- drew in 1868. A part of them, under the leadership of James Lawson, a local preacher, formed the Bethel congregation, which church was formally organized by the Rev. J. M. Morris in the home of Seth Stevens in 1876.

The following were the charter members: James Lawson, Douglas Fields, Seth Stevens, Nannie Stevens and Charles Sweeny. The first pastor regularly appointed by the Con- ference was the Rev. Benjamin Wheeler. For some years the congregation held its services in Thorn's Hall, at the corner of Fourteenth and Chestnut streets. Later on the congrega- tion worshipped in a hall at Thirteenth and Otter streets. Finally, through the kindness of friends and the earnest efforts of the congre- gation, a lot was secured on Elm street near Tenth. The church was erected in 1881 dur- ing the pastorate of the Rev. George Countee, and dedicated by his successor, the Rev. Rob- ert Henderson. The parsonage was bought and improved during the pastorate of the Rev. Mr. Vreeland. The following ministers be- sides those already mentioned have served as pastors of the Bethel Church: The Revs. Messrs. S. P. West; S. T. Jones ; A. Palmer ; Pride ; Jackson ; Washington ; Honesty ; Tuck- er; M. A. Dyer; Harrington ; Smothers, and Norton. The present pastor is the Rev. H. H. Summers, an exceptionally able minister of God and highly esteemed by his congregation.

Thus we end our brief survey of the begin- nings of organized Christianity in the County of Venango. It has been impossible to secure all the desired data. In some instances the records have been lost or destroyed. In some cases no records were made. In all the ac- tivities of men there is much that cannot be written down or converted into statistics. This is especially so with their religious activities. The organization of a congregation, the erec- tion of a church and the payment of a debt may be recorded; but these are but outward and visible signs of spiritual activities, of Chris- tian virtues, and graces, and of things, unseen and eternal, which cannot be made matters of record. But they are fully recorded in God's book of remembrance.

We cannot know of all the hardships en- dured by the early ministers of God who on foot or horseback journeyed through these parts to preach the Gospel of Christ and to break the Bread of Life to God's children. And we cannot compute the sacrifices that were made by those who formed the struggling congregations of this county and their spiritual conquests day by day, but God knows them all.

Under different Christian names these men and women and children have tried to serve God and man in their respective congregations.

So these churches of various names have tried within their several spheres to build up men in the Christian faith and Christian life, to make the world more fit to live in, and to make men more fit for Heaven. May God hasten the day

when our Christianity of many names may be bound together in a closer cooperation, to win men to God and goodness, and to convert the kingdoms of the world into the Kingdom of the Lord and His Christ.

The group idea so much spoken of by modern philosophers made itself felt at an early day in Venango county. Fraternal or- ganizations of many kinds were popular. Lodges, tents, councils and social clubs, from the sewing society of the mothers to the strictly masculine gatherings of the fathers, were necessary as part of the activities of a people eager for improvement and for self- preservation. Many organizations were formed, carried on for a few years, and then, having answered their purpose and fulfilled their destiny, disbanded or simply ceased to be. Regalias of one kind and another were packed away in attics, for another generation to ad- mire or to wonder about. This history has sought to keep the record of those which have persisted, since space must be given to more vital subjects. But full credit is due to those who sought to advance the good objects for which every one of these dead and gone socie- ties labored; and it is not to be believed that they did not fulfill their mission in the more circumscribed work of that earlier day.

No doubt one reason for the success of the long-lived societies is the fact they belong to some larger federation, which is always an in- centive to effort. An illustration of this truth is the pathetic one of the G. A. R. That body, each year numbering less, has, and will have, to the last man, courage and faith in his Post, which to him has come to mean a brotherhood in that army of patriots who keep step to the music that still floats back to them from other days.

Venango,county has a large number of fra- ternal and social organizations, which have proved an efficient means of developing a healthful civic spirit. They have also been the

vehicle for carrying on many important public works. We have grouped them according to the communities in which they are established.
