Scope and Contents

Efforts to build or finish the church at Ferrysburg have failed. At a meeting presided over by Father Henry Rievers, it was unanimously agreed to build a church at Mill Point and to ascertain what disposition could be made of the church property at Ferrysburg. They consider Ferry's offer to buy it a liberal one. There are no Catholic families in Ferrysburg. A bridge about to be constructed to connect Grand Haven with Mill Point will serve to accomodate Catholics in Grand Haven, Crockery and Polkton . Father Rievers heads the subscriptions with $50 and in less than a week it totaled $500. Lumber and other material are expected to be donated by non-Catholics. Signed by Walsh, arles Allen, and James Trainer, Committee. Enclosure:
