Item
Identifier: CDET III-2-i
Scope and Contents
When Father Mary Paul Wehrle Werhley first came to Newport everybody liked him but his acquaintance with a Miss McQuin has caused talk. The farmers got timbers for a sacristy but instead of building it. Wehrle built a swing. The people told him that his conduct was not fitting for a priest and gave him no peace until he took it down. The people paid their pew rent but found some of the pews nailed shut. If Lefevere doubts his word he can write to M. P. Kane and Lewey Cotherell :: III-2-i A.D.S. 4pp. 4to.
