UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS LIBRARY JUL I 91922 JOST & KIEFER PRINTING COMPANY, QOINCY ILLINOIS. POPE PIUS X. ou ST. BONIFACE CONGREGATION DEDICATION. To those sturdy German settlers, Founders of St. Boniface, Do we dedicate this booklet, cv2 We, who now are in their place. They were giants in their labors, Men who knew no idle fear, Men who plodded ever onward, A2 'Till the far-off goal was near. Most of them have since departed To the realms of peace and rest, But their deeds are still before us, Urging us fco do our best. Urging us to work as they did, God to serve, our soul to save, Bidding us to ne'er grow weary, Till we rest beyond the grave. They have erred at times, most sadly, Erred, as mortals all may err, Let us profit by their failings, That they never may recur. But their faults are like the shadow, Cast about by every light, Cast most deeply where its splendor, Sheds itself with greatest might. Lights and shadows are reflected In the pages offered here, Let the shadows only render Every highlight doubly clear! Looking o'er this booklet's pages You may scent some "midnight oil," And we can not help confess it, 'Tis the fruit of endless toil. In our labors we were aided By the help of many friends, And to them belongs a portion Of the glory which it spends. Now to critics of this booklet, Who perhaps don't like its looks, Or its contents, let us answer, With the famous bard, "Mike Fuche": "Wer's Buch gleiche dut, soil's lese, Wen es jucke dut, soil lache, Wer's nicht gleiche dut, soil's eenfach Liege lasse und soil's besser mache!"

GOVERNOR JOHN WOOD, the Founder of Quinoy. Born Dec. 20th, 1798; settled on present site of Quincy 1821; became State Senator in 1850, lieutenant-Governor in 1856, Governor in 1859.

St. Boniface Congregation, Quincy, 111. From Its Founding in 1837 Until Its Diamond Jubilee in 1912. Preliminary Events. The first permanent settlement on the present site of Quincy was made by John Wood in the year 1821, when he came to take possession of the lands allotted to him for his services in the war of 1812. Little did he dream at the time that he was laying the foundation of a great and prosperous city, a city of many flourishing industries, a city of commercial enterprise, a Gibraltar in the world of finance, a vast domain of parks and gardens, a realm of beautiful homes, a center of efficient schools and colleges, the seat of magnificent churches and charitable institutions, the Gem City of the West. It was named after Quincy Adams, then president of the United States, from whom also the county in-which it is situated derives its name. In 182G was built the first court house, a two-story log cabin measuring 18x22 feet. In 1829 Michael Mast (born 1797, died 1852) the first German Catholic settler, arrived in Quincy, and in 1834 we find him among the trustees who signed the application for the incorporation of their settlement, consisting of about 600 souls living mainly along the river front and around the site now occu- pied by Washington Park.

    HISTORY OF ST. CHARLES CHURCH 1877-1977 DU BOIS, ILLINOIS (Centenial 1877-1977 St. Charles Borromeo Church, DuBois, IL) "Cathedral of the Prairie" Erected In 1908 The history of Saint Charles Parish spans more than a century of faith, devotion and love of God by the Priests, the Sisters, and the parishioners including the first Catholic immigrants who settled in this rural community that was called "Coloma" in the early days. The first inscription in the parish records was made as early as 1868 by Father Charles Klocke who attended the infant community from Du Quoin, Illinois; however, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass was offered for the first time in the original St. Charles Church on the third Sunday of Advent, December 16, 1877. The zeal of the early settlers for a church of their own was exhibited by the contribution of many hours of labor in building the wooden structure that was 75 feet long and 36 feet wide. In this unfinished structure, the early parishioners knelt on the floor and sat on planks, supported by wooden kegs, during that First Holy Mass one hundred years ago. The beginnings of this parish were humble and modest and marked with a great deal of painstaking effort and hard labor. Transportation in those days consisted of horse and buggy, lumber-wagon, horseback, or the railroad. Travel problems in no way obstructed the continuous growth of St. Charles parish. By 1898, the church could not accommodate all of the parishioners, and a new parish was organized that year in Scheller. A few years later Posen and then Tamaroa organized new parishes.
