Walsh, Martin and others, Mill Point, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1866 November 24
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:
