Beerhorst, Father Henry, Grand Rapids, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1866
Scope and Contents
He asks Lefevere about Michael Umlor of Alpine and Magdalena Schoenborn of Wright who were married before the Esquire. $3000 was subscribed for a new brick church, to cost about $8,000. The people are grateful for Lefevere's visit. Dorr needs a priest of its own; a priest's house is ready. They people agree very well together, except a few from Salem . There are many children around Dorr but they are uninstructed and the parents very ignorant. Beerhorst has also been to Berlin where the people need more time to organize. Beerhorst's health is poor, and a priest should be sent to care for the missions. The Sisters' house is paid for, and the deed for it and that of the schoolhouse will be sent to Lefevere. Father F. X. Krautbauer and Mother Mary Caroline from School Milwaukee have been here to see the place. The Sister of Notre Dame will move on August 20. Four Sisters will be sent for only $450. :: III-2-k A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
