Hoersch, John F.W., Wyandotte, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1865 December 1
Scope and Contents
By being in Detroit yesterday, Hoersch missed Lefevere's visit to Wyandotte. He has fallen out with Vater De Prete Father Charles L. Depreiter. Hoersch lists 24 points in his favor. He has spent much labor, time and money to improve church and school properties. De Prete opposed the school, but with some Irish and German families a teacher was hired and Mr. Gransinger's home rented. De Prete told Mrs. Brodhead of Grosse Isle, and Mr. Gransinger and Pat Finn here that he was a bad man and not to have anything to do with him. He has been discharged as Treasurer of the graveyard, and any sale of lots is null and void so that people are withdrawing their purchase of them. Hoersch has a lot in Mount Elliotte. He helped last winter to haul stone from Ecorse to Wyandotte. There was only one sermon preached at the Jubilee last summer. Hoersch was arrested for breaking up an anti-Catholic lecturer from Canada. De Prete has denounced him from the altar, so that he cannot go to church. :: III-2-k A.L.S. 5pp. 4to.
