1. Burial Records from the Church Register of Elmore Reformed Church, 1858 – 1888 R-029 Entered on computer by S. Connie Halbur, May-June,2005 This folder contained the following: 1. Burial records from the church register of Elmore Reformed Church, 1858 – 1888. These records can also be found in the Cemetery Data Base. The hard copy of these burial records can be found only in Cemetery Series Book 7. Burial records vary considerably in the amount of detail given, depending on the pastor or scribe. These appear to have been photocopied from a hand-written set, which in turn had been copied from the original register. In some instances, the writer of this first hand- written copy wrote far into the right-hand margin, that when this was first photocopied, a small amount of the far right side did not get photocopied. Mr. Reese’s note at the end of the list of burials reads: These records I found at the United Church of Christ in Campbellsport. [Note: This burial record is also included in the Cemetery Data Base, even though it is not a cemetery record per se, but is rather taken from a church death register. It could include persons who died at Elmore, but were buried elsewhere. Also, the complete cemetery record for that period may well include names of persons who died elsewhere, but were buried at Elmore, and are therefore not listed here.] 2.

Death Register, Elmore Reformed Church, 1858-1888 ♦ These records are not a cemetery register, or a list of tombstones inscriptions done by a genealogical or historical society. They are part of a church register. Mr. Reese wrote at the bottom of the last page: These records I found at the United Church of Christ in Campbellsport. ♦ We have provided two arrangements: - as given in the record, which is basically chronological - in alphabetical order ♦ [Sic] indicates that what was written appears to be an error, but it is copied as written. ♦ Notations by the person who did the computer entry are in brackets, in italics. ♦ The surname Jung is sometimes spelled Yung, and occasionally Young, even when it refers to the same person. I have consistently spelled it Jung for the convenience of researchers who use the Edit/find feature. ♦ There is SOME overlap with the records found in R-064, German Evangelical Reformed Church of Elmore, but the records are clearly not identical. ♦ Note: When these deaths occurred, Elmore was called Ashford. When the record states that someone lived in Ashford, the writer is referring to either the town we now know as Elmore, or Ashford Township. The village we now know as Ashford was hardly a village at that time. ♦ As given in the record: Schmalz, Agatha, daughter of Christian and Mary Schmalz, died Nov. 1, 1858, age 25 days.

  • LIECHTENSTEIN the 341 © Lonely Planet Publications Planet Lonely © Malbun Triesenberg Schloss Vaduz Trail LANGUAGE: GERMAN LANGUAGE: „ Fürstensteig
    © Lonely Planet Publications 341 Liechtenstein If Liechtenstein didn’t exist, someone would have invented it. A tiny mountain principality governed by an iron-willed monarch in the heart of 21st-century Europe, it certainly has novelty value. Only 25km long by 12km wide (at its broadest point) – just larger than Man- hattan – Liechtenstein doesn’t have an international airport, and access from Switzerland is by local bus. However, the country is a rich banking state and, we are told, the world’s largest exporter of false teeth. Liechtensteiners sing German lyrics to the tune of God Save the Queen in their national anthem and they sure hope the Lord preserves their royals. Head of state Prince Hans Adam II and his son, Crown Prince Alois, have constitutional powers unmatched in modern Europe but most locals accept this situation gladly, as their monarchs’ business nous and, perhaps also, tourist appeal, help keep this landlocked sliver of a micro-nation extremely prosperous. Most come to Liechtenstein just to say they’ve been, and tour buses disgorge day- trippers in search of souvenir passport stamps. If you’re going to make the effort to come this way, however, it’s pointless not to venture further, even briefly. With friendly locals and magnificent views, the place comes into its own away from soulless Vaduz. In fact, the more you read about Fürstentum Liechtenstein (FL) the easier it is to see it as the model for Ruritania – the mythical kingdom conjured up in fiction as diverse as The Prisoner of Zenda and Evelyn Waugh’s Vile Bodies.

  • Archbishop John J. Williams
    Record Group I.06.01 John Joseph Williams Papers, 1852-1907 Introduction & Index Archives, Archdiocese of Boston Introduction Biographical Sketch Scope and Content Content List (A-Z) Subject Index Introduction The John Joseph Williams papers held by the Archives of the Archdiocese of Boston span the years 1852-1907. The collection consists of original letters and documents from the year that Williams was assigned to what was to become St. Joseph’s parish in the West End of Boston until his death 55 years later. The papers number approximately 815 items and are contained in 282 folders arranged alphabetically by correspondent in five manuscript boxes. It is probable that the Williams papers were first put into some kind of order in the Archives in the 1930s when Fathers Robert h. Lord, John E. Sexton, and Edward T. Harrington were researching and writing their History of the Archdiocese of Boston, 1604-1943. At this time the original manuscripts held by the Archdiocese were placed individually in folders and arranged chronologically in file cabinets. One cabinet contained original material and another held typescripts, photostats, and other copies of documents held by other Archives that were gathered as part of the research effort. The outside of each folder noted the author and the recipient of the letter. In addition, several letters were sound in another section of the Archives. It is apparent that these letters were placed in the Archives after Lord, Sexton, and Harrington had completed their initial arrangement of manuscripts relating to the history of the Archdiocese of Boston. In preparing this collection of the original Williams material, a calendar was produced.

  • Ordinary Time
    ORDINARY TIME January 18, 2015 WHAT’S THIS? Between the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord and Ash Wednesday, we celebrate Ordinary Time. Ordinary does not mean plain. Ordinary Time is called ordinary because the weeks are numbered. The Latin word ordinalis, which refers to numbers in a series, stems from the Latin word ordo from which we get the English word order. Thus Ordinary Time is in fact the ordered life of the Church, the period in which we live our lives neither in feasting (as in Christmas or Easter Season) or in more severe penance (as in Advent and Lent), but in watchful expectation of the Second Coming of Christ. Over the next few weeks, we will be experiencing the beginning of Jesus’ ministry from his baptism, to calling his disciples, and early healing miracles; The liturgical color of Ordinary Time is green, the color of growth and hope; The banners symbolize multi-colored stain glass windows using liturgical colors throughout the seasons. Beginning next week, we will describe the interior design of our church, such as the symbols used on the altar. May 31, 2015 WHAT’S THIS? Ordinary Time We now return to counting or numbering the weeks, not days, of the liturgical year. Ordinary Time, which will take us through the summer and fall, comprises the thirty or so weeks that are not marked by major feasts. As we have stated before, the naming of this liturgical time is from the Latin word “ordo” which refers to a counting or numbering and an order.

  • Years of Storm & Stress
    YEARS OF STORM & STRESS Joseph Matt & Americanism with a commentary and notes by Paul Likoudis on Matt's “A Centenary of Catholic Life in Minnesota” published by The Wanderer, January – August 2012 From January to August 2012, The Wanderer published, and offered commentary, on a remarkable series of 36 articles written by this newspaper's long-serving editor Joseph Matt (1877-1966) in 1950-'51 on Americanism, “the German question,” and subjects related to “Cahenslyism,” named after the German Catholic layman Peter Paul Cahensly, who devoted himself to the aid of German-Catholic immigrants. In this series of articles, Joseph Matt told the German-American Catholics' side of the story of what the late Monsignor George Kelly would call the “Battle for the American Church”; i.e. German Catholic opposition to the nascent modernism in Americanism and the Americanist hierarchy's determination to assimilate German Catholics into the American melting pot. As a sort of prelude to this series, we will enter the field of German-American Catholic historiography with some snips from a paper read by University of Chicago historian Kathleen Neils Conzen at the first Edmund Spevack Memorial Lecture at Harvard University, November 7, 2003, which touches on many of the issues we will see Joseph Matt discussing in that series of 36 articles sixty years ago, as he reflected back on the battles of the of the late 19th and early 20th centuries: “....Catholicism has long seemed like an embarrassing guest at the table of American historiography,” observed Conzen, “best ignored in the hope that it will not make a disturbing fuss.

    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA A Manual of Prayers for the Use of the Catholic Laity: A Neglected Catechetical Text of the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By John H. Osman Washington, D.C. 2015 A Manual of Prayers for the Use of the Catholic Laity: A Neglected Catechetical Text of the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore John H. Osman, Ph.D. Director: Joseph M. White, Ph.D. At the 1884 Third Plenary Council of Baltimore, the US Catholic bishops commissioned a national prayer book titled the Manual of Prayers for the Use of the Catholic Laity and the widely-known Baltimore Catechism. This study examines the Manual’s genesis, contents, and publication history to understand its contribution to the Church’s teaching efforts. To account for the Manual’s contents, the study describes prayer book genres developed in the British Isles that shaped similar publications for use by American Catholics. The study considers the critiques of bishops and others concerning US-published prayer books, and episcopal decrees to address their weak theological content. To improve understanding of the Church’s liturgy, the bishops commissioned a prayer book for the laity containing selections from Roman liturgical books. The study quantifies the text’s sources from liturgical and devotional books. The book’s compiler, Rev. Clarence Woodman, C.S.P., adopted the English manual prayer book genre while most of the book’s content derived from the Roman Missal, Breviary, and Ritual, albeit augmented with highly regarded English and US prayers and instructions.
